This is the real strategy. Phoenix looks at what the federal government needs and offers classes in those subjects. Students get federal loans to pay for it all. Money is funneled straight from US govt to Phoenix, with students on the hook for it.
- drawkbox 12y agoThe thing that sucks about that is there is a real need for adult acceptable college, we declare people done/sorted way to early in life at 22/23. University of Phoenix started for that need and actually used to have some decent focus in that area before it was bastardized for profit and major growth late 90s/early 00s. They may have also proved online learning is acceptable somewhat as you see other schools and traditional Universities offering it now. OSU offers a full CS online degree. The problem for UoP is they did not focus on quality and got greedy, they can't compete with traditional online as much now. I think that online is partly the future of education and there also needs to be a focus on actually preparing young as we do now, and regular adults for new challenges. Anytime someone at any age is willing to go on a learning challenge the systems we have should encourage that.
