through an online institution is worth as much as a degree
obtained from a traditional university. Recent studies,
including one carried out by the University of Phoenix, have
indicated that there is no significant difference between
distance learning and classroom learning.
However, an online degree has its share of pros and cons. The
obvious advantage of an online degree program is that the
student can be located anywhere in the world, and yet enroll and
pursue a degree course at a leading educational institution,
such as the University of Phoenix Online. There are no fixed
classroom timings, and it is up to the student to decide and
pace his or her degree program. The student accesses all study
material online, and interacts with the faculty through simple
email messages.
It is sometimes argued that in an online degree program, the
classroom environment is missing, and the student either depends
on material that is supplied by the University, or needs to

timetable--if the student is unable to exert self-discipline,
there is a possibility that the course might overrun the
acceptable timeline.
There are also some doubts expressed about the value of an
online degree as compared to a traditional degree. However, if
the institution imparting online courses is trusted in the
academic world and accredited, an online degree is held in high
esteem. The University of Phoenix is both trusted and
accredited, and has an experienced faculty that is able to
communicate effectively with students online.

Of course, kids need attention but working parents cannot give their full attention to them because of the work they do for them to earn. People of Phoenix usually encounter such big family problem.

The study conducted by the University of Phoenix compared its
own campus-based students to distance learners and came to the
conclusion that the current online format is the most effective
vehicle for distance education. But while this study revealed
that on campus learning at the University of Phoenix provides no
significant advantage over distance learning with that same
University, it would be presumptuous to assume that the analogy
also extends to other online universities.
