University of Phoenix

The University of Phoenix is renown for its proactive thinking for over 30 years.

Actually, we were established in 1976 with the unheard of concept of facilitating advanced education for employed students. The University of Phoenix, as it continues to be led by this concept, has facilitated the metamorphosis of the climate of advanced academia in broadly known fashions. Thanks to the efforts of the University of Phoenix, a number of the conveniences now taken for granted by 21st-century students were pioneered or gained acceptance, including flexible scheduling, both evening and online classes, practitioner faculty, a student-centered environment, continuous enrollment, online libraries, e-books and computer simulations.

Our extended offers have let us succeed beyond our humble beginnings into an institution that serves the growing needs of the working student as well as the classic full time student. University of Phoenix is now the largest private university in North America. It is comprised of 200 convenient campuses, and includes Internet delivery all around the globe.

We are a complete, all-inclusive university. University of Phoenix has over 100 degree programs at the associate's, bachelor's, master's and doctoral levels in popular employment areas, ranging from business and technology to health care and education.
