Is axia college the same as university of phoenix?

Question

I am pretty sure I did everything for signing up for school through phoenix university. However now I am enrolled in Axia college of university of phoenix. I just assumed it was just a division of the school because it was so large. Then while browsing online, I came across some chats making me think that I am getting a degree from Axia and not UOP. What the heck. If I wanted to go to a college not a university I wouldn't be paying the outrageous prices. Let me know ANYTHING please

Answer 1

"And many states don't recognize UOP degrees due to accreditation issues." Posters please indicate which states don't accept regional accreditation as sufficient in their state. I believe you will find that this is simply not true.

UoP is regionally accredited just like the state U in every state - this is not the issue. The issue is that the reputation of UoP is not so hot (regionally accredited or not). UoP has earned a poor reputation in the world of academia whether or not it is deserved. That reputation can cause you problems later.

Axia is the community college division of University of Phoenix. Some people believe this was a way to separate the business from the bad reputation of UoP.

"If I wanted to go to a college not a university ..." Understand that there is no difference in real practice between a college and a university in the US. There are many fine universities that call themselves a college and there are many fine colleges that call themselves a university. In 2007, the two words have come to mean the same.

"I wouldn't be paying the outrageous prices. ..." One has to wonder why you've decided to pay these prices for a degree that you can earn elsewhere for less and have with a better reputation. A bachelor's degree from UoP will cost you about the same as one from Harvard University and about 3-5 times what one would cost at your local state university.

If you've decided that UoP is the best option for your needs then by all means follow that path. Be certain you've explored other options for a degree online though -- UMass, UFlorida, Florida State, CalState, Oklahoma, UTexas, and 100s of others offer their degrees online for less than what UoP will cost you and a much better reputation (if not education).

Answer 7

First, Axia is a branch of the University of Phoenix. Students who wish to attend school online, but have less the 24 units of college course work are enrolled in Axia. There is more support for the stundents as they have little college experience and this is designed to help them succed. When you finish 60 units with Axia you will have an associates degree, and can continue to purse your bachelors with the university of phoenix.

Second, there seems to be a lot of misinformation be given. The University of Phoenix, and Axia, are fully accredited by the north central association of schools and colleges, and is goverened by the department of education. The north central association of schools and colleges includes schools such as Notre Dame, Purde, and Northwestern. Your credit from UOP will transfer to any university.

I have my bachelors from UOP and am currently working on my MBA. I have attended community colleges and two state schools, and UOP was hands down the best educational experience I have ever had. I recommended UOP to anyone interested in pursuing their education.

Answer 8

A family member of mine just transferred to a well known christian college and all his credits from UOP transferred. Everyone has their own perception of UOP. If that is what works for you then go for it and don't let anyone deter you from what you know is best for you and your family. You may want to ask someone at the college directly. I have learned that people say what they have heard others say and it may not be true.
