It's not self-paced.

Aside from that, it's only DEAC accredited, not regionally. If you don't mind that type of accreditation, then I suppose it's not the worst option at about a $2,460 price tag. For about a grand more, you could get a regionally accredited WGU MBA if you powered through the program in 6 months. Easier said than done, of course.

It doesn't carry basic Regional Accreditation. This can be career limiting and with the good/fast/cheap like WGU, Hidges, and Patten why would one choose UoPeople?....that's the question you need to answer for yourself. With that said I believe they became DEAC accredited in 2014...while that is not the gold standard it may be sufficient for some. (but again...why?)

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

Echoing the other comments here. I will say, I love their mission. If you qualify for a scholarship, or in a country where the tuition is reduced/free that definitely changes the equation.

As the other posters have said, in the US paying full fee it doesn't make much sense to attend UOP.
