Question by jlarsen4: Furthering my education – UoP?
I’m a licensed substance abuse counselor interested in furthering my education in the counseling field. I will soon complete a bachelors of psychology degree. I have a growing young family and a mortgage – making moving or commuting to a new school a very difficult and costly proposition for a number of reasons. I have been considering enrollment into the mental health counseling program at the University of Phoenix. I’m interested in opinions, etc. but I am most interested in feedback from those who have enrolled in this particular program. Any help is appreciated.

Answer by Stephen Peters
I may know nothing of your field or the program you are looking to enroll in but once you mentioned UofPhx, I automatically saw this as a bad decision. Do any employers really take a degree from that University seriously? I am from Phoenix and know many people that work for the organization and honestly, from the inside, their goal doesn’t seem to be focused on educating individuals in a higher learning environment….. but rather to EXPAND and make a TON of money! Besides, I have always had a problem with online classes and don’t feel that they are as educationally beneficial as a good old classroom environment. Also, I was shocked at the cost of tuition at UofPhx.
