University Of The People

[eLearner]

WGU, APUS, Liberty will accept DEAC towards a degree as transfer credit and you could do a masters through them with a DEAC undergrad degree.

Purdue University Global will as well.

My understanding is that the cost is very affordable. I think their MBA used to be around $3500.

If so, it's cheaper now. $2400 is what I was told.

I've had a few friends go through UoP. I had one who finished most of the program and transferred to Purdue. Recently, another friend of mine recently signed up for the MBA program and told me some not so great things. For one, he told me that his advisor kept answering in form letter responses and when he questioned it she stopped responding altogether, literally just ignoring his emails.

He then went on a nearly month-long attempt to get help from someone, anyone, and no one would answer. His emails to admissions was ignored, his emails to the Dean were ignored, his emails to the Grievance email were ignored. He had to go on Twitter and publicly ask for help before anyone from UoP would do anything. Finally, they switched his advisor and got his very basic questions answered. But then a new problem emerged.

He told me he was trying to take two courses at a time and he'd made that clear to his advisors, but somehow he was only signed up for one and was never told where or how to sign up for other courses himself. Apparently, now he can't sign up for a second course because the classes are all full. Honestly, after what they put him through, they should just let him finish the program fee free just for not filing a DEAC complaint against them.

In my opinion, University of the People sounds like it has a lot of work to do with communication as this is not the first time I've heard about their poor communication issues. There was a guy who posted a screenshot showing how he sent University of The People a simple question, they opened the email over 200 times, replied with form letter responses and never answered the question.
