We use LinkedIn at work on our sales team to find decision makers at large companies. If we see a degree from uop we don't bother and try to find someone else. Nobody with a uop degree would be trusted with important decisions.

UoP Social Media and Internet PR teams are all over this site. Love these canned, "UoP friendly" responses.
I went to ASU and all I learned how to do was binge drink, do coke and slay azz! Now tell me that is a well rounded education. Any company you work for is going to teach you what they want you to do. You put in the time at school and you get a piece of paper that proves you attempted to better yourself. This in turn allows you the opportunity to interview for jobs. Regardless of what anyone says or thinks, the school is accredited. When you are flipping through the job sites and notice about 95% of any of the descent paying jobs require a bachelors degree just to apply, that so called worthless piece of paper suddenly becomes the golden Willy Wonka ticket; now doesn't it? A degree is merely a stepping stone and that is it. You can go to any school and if you invest your time in a degree which has no value such as psychology or liberal arts, you are going to struggle getting a job anywhere.
You slay the readers on this board shilling for the giant cat scat catcher you work for. No one seriously considers anyone who completed a B. S. at any for-profit college a well-rounded, classically educated person. A Phoenix undergraduate is on level with 10th grade coursework. I laugh when people volunteer they attended any for- profit landfill. Most of the students, even after having graduated, aren't capable of writing a cogent email, never mind a reasoned report or essay. The students and the American taxpayer are being fleeced. For-profits, most, will be a quarter the size they were at their zenith by 2020. They are cesspools of nonsense, not education.
A simple google search of notable graduates will provide a very long lists...such as:
Kirkland H. Donald: Admiral Donald graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1975 with a bachelor’s degree in oceanic engineering. He then went on to achieve his master’s degree in business administration from the University of Phoenix. Additionally, he is a graduate of Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government Senior Executive Fellows Program. He currently is the director of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion unit and is is authorized to wear the Navy Distinguished Service Medal, Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit with four gold stars, and the Meritorious Service Medal with one gold star, in addition to several other personal and unit awards.
Good to know that you can go from line manager at Burger King to McDonald's fairly easy.
My degree from UOPX has never held me back...it allows me the opportunity to interview and sell myself, a degree from any University is no different, simply a door opener, my resume and my ability to interview professionally about my accomplishment(s) is what lands the job..
UOP learns doomasses.
