The universty of Phoenix at this site:
http://welcome.phoenix.edu/online/default.aspx

and the Western International University

Are they both professional, high rated and accredited by the Higher
Learning Commission ?

I'm planing to get enrolled with the online-study program that the
universty of Phoenix present, and they use Western International
University just for the first 60 credits that are about the Associate
of Arts in Business. Do you advise me to get enrolled on this online
program? So do you think it is good for the knowledge to get this
online degree,and these universties are really good?

Hi Moh2005-ga,

Yes, both the University of Phoenix and Western International
University are accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. I checked
both of them through their webpage, and you can see it here.

The U of P online has a 3.07 rating out of 5 on this ratings website
with 46 reviews.

I think that you need to check out a few programs, weigh the options,
and decide what's best for you. College isn't a contract, so if you
decide you'd be better off somewhere else, you can do just that.

The biggest complain I've seen is that the instructors at U of P
Online do not give you a lot of feedback. How important is that to
you?

Best of luck and I think it's great you're willing to further your education

If this answer requires further explanation, please request

Perfect Answer! Helped me a lot

Am I the only one on earth who finds it disturbing that billions can
be spent on education without creating a DVD university at the public
library where I can buy a copy of a class on DVD for $5? With nothing
to keep standards high, higher learning accreditation could well be a
joke.

Occupational education ticks me off even more. Bad enough that wives
and husbands both work, but now you have to mortgage wages you haven't
earned with a bankruptcy-proof student loan? A page I did, that isn't
all that good -- http://www.garagecapital.50megs.com/example.htm -- at
least doesn't waste the reader's time as well as money.

I took 2 classes through UOP, then transferred to a different online
degree program.  UOP was too intense for me--I had to be logged on for
hours nearly every single day, and any hitches (a technical
difficulty, or a miscontrued assignment) put me too far behind to get
caught up.  It was gruelling!  But for some people that might be OK. 
It's certainly a fast-track to a degree.  What I ended up doing,
however, was to transfer my credits to another institute.  There are
many traditional universities that offer online degree programs.  I am
going through Parkland College, a community college in IL.  My degree
will carry only the name of the college--it will not specify whether
it was earned online or on campus.  More and more colleges and
universities are offering this option for non-traditional students.

I would suggest looking at traditional schools that offer programs
that appeal to you, then checking to see if they offer an online
version of the program.  You can also search for a specific online
class or degree program at http://www.cvc.edu/catalog/, or through the
links at http://learn.berkeley.edu/html/alliances.html.

Also, if you're interested in only picking up a few online courses, I
have found those offered at UC Berkeley to be among the best I've ever
taken.  You can browse their online catalog at
http://explore.berkeley.edu/UCExt/default.asp.

I am sure there are "online degrees" that are worthless, but my
experiences have been very positive.  All of the classes I have taken
have required hard work and dedication, and my degree will be as
"good" as any other degree issued from the school I am "attending."

I hope you will pursue this worth while option--good luck!

As to the idea of a "DVD University," I don't think it would work
because classes are constantly updated.  That is why textbooks become
quickly outdated, forcing students to buy newer revisions.

Thank you for your rating, compliment and the tip. I'm glad I could be of help.
