    Default UofP

    RUN AWAY FAST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    In my opinion I would not use University of P, unless you are getting it for free and have no other options.

    They are Expensive!!!!

    Not only are they expensive, they get very mixed reviews. Just look them up on the internet, you'll find abundant information on the subject. I remember coming across one website which was devoted to bashing UoP, the impression I walked away with after reading contributions from students and former/current employees is that the experience is of a hit or miss nature. I think the problem stems from the fact that the university aggressively markets its programs and have unrealistic growth goals.

    I believe I once came across a job ad where they clearly mentioned that they do not accept UoP applicants (as in "UoP students need not apply" or something). I don't know how true that is but it's something to consider and research before taking the plunge and forking all that money out (even if you're being sponsored).

    I personally know a few people who like their program. Others who hate their mandatory study group system. I would personally go elsewhere for a masters, especially for the price.

    I just viewed the linked page and I can see that many others are voicing the same concerns.

    What about the other three? Are U of Mississippi, Colorado State, and U of Colorado terrible? I see a lot of people on the board going for NA for their Master's, the two most popular appear to be Andrew Jackson University || Accredited Online Degrees and California Coast University - Programs

    I still have a long way to go before I consider a Master's, but I wanted to start thinking about it now, rather than rush to a decision later.
