Online certs

University of Phoenix is a traditional campus based University and they are accredited for the degrees they offer. They choose to make their courses available to the world by offering online courses and people are looking down on them, how shallow!

Its sad to say but i guarantee if you say.. "University of Phoenix"...and the first thing that comes to anyone mind is "ONLINE EDUCATION"

There is nothing wrong with their degree program so if that is an option you choose to pursue then by all means do it. By the way the degree does not say that it was acquired online so there is nothing for anyone to be ashamed about.

Certifications will always expire but a degree does not. Degree first, cert later or both at the same time if possible.

agreed, I saw the course content and it was pretty extensive and had varying difficulty, if its online or in class it functions just the same, you have assignments to hand in group work to do and presentations to submit.

Any employer who only sees a "University of Phoenix" and dismisses it shouldn't be conducting interviews. its like saying if someone is jewish so don't hire them. I would prefer to get a degree from a University that is internationally known than one that just pop up and you have people questioning there accreditation

I was just wondering what the employers think about them being that you take the exams from your home and you could also have someone else take the exams for you.

yep that is possible ...can also google your answers and such...has happened and will continue to happen, but the only person at a disadvantage would be the person taking the course an employer will soon find them out

yeah employer are aware of this kind of possibility of people cheating like that so they have all right to look down on people with an online degree. frankly i dont blame them! ONLINE DEGREES AND CERTS ARE WACK... and yes kilaj1 this is like the 50 millionth time im saying it! Down with certs... long live the traditional education!!!!

as i said if they solely look at the school a person goes to and immediately puts it in the "Do not hire pile" they shouldn't be hiring people. Just for the record its not a cert its a diploma
