Study at Your Own Pace
The University of Phoenix has been a pioneer in the field of distance learning since the mid 1970s. It leads the distance learning pack in sheer volume of degrees, including six nursing degrees in the Bachelors of Science in Nursing and Masters of Science in Nursing disciplines. Today, U of P has become synonymous with online degree programs, so much so that many people often fail to realize that there is also a successful campus-based program.
Pioneering Adult Learning
During the early 70s research had been conducted that revealed how differently adults, or those beyond college age, related to a learning environment compared with their college age counterparts. Adults in the working world had less tolerance for theory, but had few post-secondary educational options available to them that welcomed the rigors of a full-time career and family responsibilities. Adult learners crave a hands-on practical education in which esoteric theory is waylaid in favor of more relevant experiential curriculum. Faculty choice help make this a reality: instructors hold Masters and Doctorates, but the caveat is that all are successful professionals. Students receive up to the minute, practical know-how from the trenches.
Online Education Comes of Age
When the U of P established its first Internet-based curriculum, the program was hardly taken seriously. Traditional campus-based degrees remained the accepted educational vehicle for college students, even though it marginalized millions of working professionals whose jobs were becoming increasingly more demanding and challenging.
The online educational realm has more than filled a niche; it has created a whole new revolution in learning. Adult professionals may choose from dozens of high-quality online degree programs for which they may study at their leisure 24/7. This may be a bit unlike some online programs that require real-time participation in online discussion. U of P advertises the flexibility of its programs.
The Internet methodology is cutting edge; it should be-University of Phoenix faculty has worked closely with technologists to develop the most avant-garde online environments. Adults with careers and families may plan their study time when it is most convenient.
Over 70 online degree programs populate Education, Healthcare, Business, and Technology areas of study. Curriculum consumes about six weeks of study time and courses cost between $400 and $450 per credit hour.
