Military - University of Phoenix

The Military Division of the University of Phoenix will get You Started toward Your Degree

Military - University of Phoenix: Overview

Being one of the first institutions to provide an online curriculum to its students, the University of Phoenix understands the needs of individuals who want to earn a degree through a distance learning program. Maybe that is why it has the largest student body in the country. Or, maybe it is because the University of Phoenix has such a wide array of degree programs at the associate's, bachelor's, master's and doctoral levels.

In all reality, it is a combination of reasons that make the University of Phoenix the first choice of so many individuals. For example, the University of Phoenix created a department that is designed specifically to focus on the needs of our active duty members of the military and their spouses. Carnevale (2006) stated that, “The University of Phoenix Online has a separate division that handles military students. Mike Bibbee, the Phoenix vice president who oversees that division, says all its enrollment counselors are former members of the military, so they can relate to the students as well as understand all the confounding military jargon” (p. A33). This kind of focus reassures our service members that they can go to school and receive a degree without dealing with a bunch of “red tape.”

Another major benefit provided by the University of Phoenix is the fact that, as a military member, credits can be transferred or earned in a variety of ways. In fact, you might just be much closer to earning a degree than you think. Knowing that you, as a member of the military, are learning something new every day, the University of Phoenix evaluates prior college coursework and the military training that you received in order to determine where you stand in terms of college credits. Yes, the military training that you received may translate into college credit. That is just another reason to consider the University of Phoenix.

The University of Phoenix is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association.
