The University of Phoenix alone accounted for $800 million in Pell

Grants in 2012-2013, nearly four times the amount of the largest public institution. Cellini

(2010) shows that increases in the maximum Pell Grant award over the last decade encouraged

for-profit entry, and Cellini and Goldin (2014) document that for-profit Title IV eligible

institutions charge higher tuition than comparable institutions that are not Title IV eligible.

I got an MBA from UOP and make over 100 grand a year. I guess I must be one of those 'idiots' who can't get hired, lol...

I worked there for years, took one class and dropped afterwards. I knew it would be a waste of my time.

No one needed to complete a study or write a news report about the perceived value of UOP, or any other for-profit for that matter. None of them have standards; learning outcomes are laughable, and employers talk shit about the idiots who graduate from these schools.

I pity the morons who work there now and actually graduated with a BS there. No one will hire you.
