Today's AZ College Tip

arguably the most successful online university. While going
online has propelled the University to the popularity that it
enjoys today, it still retains its brick and mortar roots.
Describing a University of Phoenix campus is a bit of a
misnomer, because there is no single campus.



The University operates on three educational platforms, ground,
FlexNet, and Online. Students studying through the ground or
FlexNet mode take a number of their classes at one of the many
University of Phoenix classrooms located throughout the US and
even the world.



As the largest private university, Phoenix has 170 brick and
mortar campuses located throughout the United States, Canada,
Mexico and Puerto Rico. While over half of the school's 230,000
strong student body studies purely online, over 100,000 attend
at least some of their classes at the brick and mortar campuses.



These campuses are in many cities located in industrial parks.
While this image doesn't conjure up the grassy quads many
envision when they think of the college life, their location is


normally based on population density and accessibility. As a
consequence, Phoenix campuses, although not always beautiful,
are certainly accessible.



While the University of Phoenix is famed for its wide variety of
courses and degree options, it is less widely known that only
certain campuses offer specific degrees. This is especially true
of those degrees which contain elements which simply cannot be
translated online.



That is to say, while e-Business, a part of the College of
Undergraduate Business and Management can be accessed from every
campus because of its technological basis, other programs like
Nursing which may require some hands-on learning are simply
unavailable at certain locations.



When you consider a primarily Online University like that of
Phoenix, students often fail to consider the relative strengths
of programs at different campuses. While Phoenix employs a
sophisticated oversight system to ensure that the level of


teaching is relatively constant throughout its 170 campuses,
that does not eliminate all dispersion. For example, students
have stated that its Texas campuses offer a very high quality
education in health, due to the strength of teachers and
administrators at that campus. Similarly, students attending the
University of Phoenix in New York have remarked that the quality
of their education degrees was quite strong relative to the
experiences of other Phoenix students located throughout the
country.
