Review of Univeristy of Phoenix

This school can do a professional/business person ...

This school can do a professional/business person more harm than good. Their admissions process is sub-standard. It seems they accept anyone who is able to pay the tuition rather than focusing on their academic abilities, accomplishments and potential contributions to the classroom discussions and team assignments. I found that their were the "workers" and the more serious student who would pick up the slack for the inept, lazy or those that are just getting by. I took one course and during the first week a student approached me asking for a copy of my paper to see how it was formatted. He also asked for my assistance to review his paper due to his limited English. I shared the incident with the instructor who requested I ignore the person. Subsequently, I finished the course but dropped out of the program. A school that turns the other cheek to cheating, plagiarism or inappropriate behavior is not one that is not focused on their student's success in the business world and it is only interested in their profits. Your MBA is only as good as the school you earned it from....plus your GPA. There are other schools out there with reasonable tuition, good reputation and integrity.
