If you graduated from University of Phoenix, what was your experience like? Were you able to get a good job?

Great idea on pursuing the MBA. I have my undergrad from ASU and am currently attending University of Phoenix for my MBA/HRM. I loved ASU, of course its a good school. But I love University of Phoenix as well. There is a HUGE stigma that many people have since is "for-Profit" it must be evil. I have a lot of arguments on that point that I won't even get into. The University is a good school, the instructors give great feedback, the ignments are challenging and applicable to the real world, and most importantly, they know my name. If any company bothers to research the curriculum, they will gladly accept your MBA from University of Phoenix. Of course experience is also important, but that's true of every degree from any college, experience ALWAYS gets you 10 steps above! I am done in December, I have worked 40 hours a week since the beginning of my program, and I have not regretted my decision. It's been super challenging, but so worth it. The instructors aren't off some dark alley, they are working professionals with experience in their fields, they have at least a Graduate Degree, and most times a Doctorate! (Many of them went to colleges other than University of Phoenix for their degrees as well so you have a great variety of experiences!) I highly recommend it, and if you decide to go good luck, its a long ride. :o)
