In 1976, John Sperling founded University of Phoenix so working men and women could go to college and earn their degree. What began in Phoenix, Arizona, grew to become the largest private university in North America with more than 200 campuses and learning centers. Now, students come here for an education that is relevant to their lives, and to the world around them.

  • Personalized student support from a team of advisors who help you from enrollment to graduation.
  • A world-class online library that is available 24/7, so you have access to scholarly research, when you want.

Gain knowledge you can use tomorrow, not in four years.

I'm looking for a degree program that teaches me what I need to know - not what a textbook says is important.
