I'm an graduate from university of the people with an associates and bachelors degree! I haven't had a hard time of transferring my credits using Sophia, etc. I also landed a position as a business analyst/project management at an insurance company with the help of this degree and helped established my own book publishing business
As a UoPeople graduate I can agree with what you are saying, there are definitely pros and cons for this degree. They do accept transfer credits from Sophia, Straighterline etc. I have transferred over 20+ credits and was able to finish my degree in a little less than 2 years. I could have completed it in less time if I had known about the transfer option prior. But I am still glad I did it in such a quick time.
The U.S. Department of Education only recognizes Institutional and Programatic Accreditation. The Department of Education eliminated the distinction between National and Regional Accreditation in February 2020. Also, University of the People is pre-accredited through WASC, which is a former regional accrediting agency. A decision will be made about their accreditation status in February 2023. They are currently accredited by DEAC which is an Institutional Accreditor.
I’m surprised that the pass rate is so low. I just graduated with a BS in health science. I will say that the information in this video is accurate. In terms of difficulty, and I’m not exaggerating, rn school was about 5 times harder. It is definitely doable once you get the hang on how the homework assignments work.
I worked at Dell and I am doing it. My bosses are very encouraging and I am doing the last mod of my MBA which is the capstone. Really good experience for the past 2 years but it's not easy. 60 USD is really cheap. I recommend people who love challenges should give it a try :) As a working adult, it is really hectic. BTW, they are now on probation for their regional accreditation.
28% graduation. It's meant for those who have no other choice. If you can go elsewhere, then do so. If you have no other place to go ... then UoPeople is for you.
I had a terrible experience with UoP and actually hate it. The peer assessments reminded me of high school group projects, which I shouldn't have to do if I'm paying for the class. The only positive things were the price and the fact that it was completely online. Unfortunately, my employer doesn't offer tuition reimbursement for this university. I need an accredited college that allows me to work at my own pace and location. It feels like I wasted my money, and my advisor was unhelpful. Why do I, as the student, have to assess other students when the professor should be doing it? The coursework was easy, but the other students were too slow for me. I believe that if they eliminated peer assessments and discussion boards and made it a work-at-your-own-pace university, the graduation rate would be much higher, possibly up to 90%.
I hate the peer assessment!
They are working on regional accreditation. In the process, but it is a 5 year process. As a current student, pursuing a BA in business. Fantastic school. If you are a small business owner, which I am, FANTASTIC school.
Professors aren't paid and the application process to teach is difficult.
Currently I hold 5 degrees including an ABA & BBA from UoP.
I just enrolled at UoP, I'm doing a master's degree in Advanced English; for a lot of teachers working abroad, UoP offers an inexpensive way to get that master's degree requirement that most countries have. I'm excited to learn! Even if you didn't talk about their master's degree, I appreciate this review, since I didn't know what to expect.
University of the people accept lots of alternative credits (Sophia)that can transfer to regionally accredited colleges. This can reduce cost for many students who can’t afford college. Many students report success with transferring their degree according to Reddit forum.
Well, this is sort of late for me. I’m staring my last semester doing my capstone project for my MBA, and it has been fantastic. I don’t know why people wouldn’t want to get an MBA specially if cost it’s not a problem. I have a coworker that did her MBA at UMass and when chatting she barely knows what I talk about from what I am learning. 😂 and she probably paid 5x what I paid, and I make more money than she does, at the end of the day it’s all about the value one brings to the market in terms of effectiveness not names of schools. There’s a saying I really like that I think applies here, it’s not about where you start but where you end.
The issue with the low graduation stems from the fact that most students are part-time, while graduation statistics account for four-year completion. Further, I've known students who were enrolled in specific CS courses because they already had a degree and wanted to refresh their knowledge. Still, these students did not intend to finish the degree because they were not fond of the idea of retaking all courses lol
Thanks for the review. It makes me clear for a decision making process. Appreciated
I am currently working on my Masters of IT at UOPeople and I wanted to say thanks for this review. It really is spot-on. I think the reason why there are so few graduates is mainly that there are NO lectures and none of the traditional ways of learning offered by a physically attended university. Everything is online and the majority of the knowledge is shared in writing. So you have to be able to read (a lot). Likewise, there are a lot of writing intensive assignments. So reading and writing is a must. When I got my Bachelors at Sam Houston State University (Texas), I just attended college and took tests for the most part. It was easy. So, this is harder. This is my last term before my Capstone project and I hope to do well.
man, first off thank you for such great and high-effort content! really really helpful and golden advice! hope this channel gets millions of subscribers, you deserve it!!
Thank you for this video!!!!! I really really appreciate your work and your neutrality in your opinions
I actually went here & the prices are really good. And it's actually hackable. I hacked my UoPeople degree &'it's easy to hack with any pf the five (Clep, DSST, StraighterLine, Sophia, Study, Saylor & any other credit transfer program). The credits can transfer in easily as electives.
