Who Is Studying Online (and Where)

UoP also fails adults. They're just good at advertising and deceptive admissions practices. Their numbers are slipping for a reason. They used to have nearly 500k students.

UoP has one of the worst graduation rates in the country. They're actually doing adults a disservice.

The college website https://www.collegefactual.com feels slimy to me.

The https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/search/?...esc&page=2 
website says they have a 17% graduation rate which is sad.  The National average is about 42% per this website.

I never attended UoP so I really know nothing of them.

One would be better off flunking out of a community college. There would be less debt.

I agree with this, I just think they advertise to them better, and then actually set it up for them to be able to take classes.  You won't find that at the local CC or university.

People need to learn how to use Google. I think they're starting to, which is why online programs at non-profits are growing in popularity. There was an excuse 15 years ago when online programs were rarer, but not anymore.

Cheap, public schools usually don't have huge advertising budgets. ASU costs an arm and a leg for out-of-state students, so they have the money to advertise. They've also been smart about making employer partnerships. If you want to find cheap schools, you have to dig.
