The University of Phoenix is a for-profit university therefore the more students they can enroll and retain the more $$$ the shareholders make. As such the quality of instruction is subpar. They have an incentive to keep and pass every student they have even if that student would fail the same course at a high school.

They enroll every single student that shows up at their door. There were students in my class who could not write one coherent sentence! I quickly dis-enrolled and now attend a local community college. My goal is to then enroll at the University of Florida or hopefully UCLA.

Now if you are looking for value attend a local public college in your area. After U of P I attended Seminole Community College and for less than the cost of ONE CLASS at U of P I enrolled for a full-time schedule of 12 semester hours! The quality of instruction was much better and the professors did not hesitate to flunk students who were not up to standard. U of P passes everyone and practically gives out A's just for paying the tuition.
