Campus Locations
If you prefer the face-to-face interaction of the classroom, you can choose from locations nationwide. The campus-based learning option is available for many degree programs and provides an opportunity for students to meet in person with their instructors and classmates. Work with your own personal representative to help you through your college experience.
Small Classes
At University of Phoenix, we believe that small classes are an important part of your success. Keeping class sizes down means that instructors are accessible, and that you’re held accountable for your own academic achievement. With an average of 15 students per class, our intimate classroom setting provides you with a place to discuss new concepts, try out new ideas, develop communication skills and test your leadership abilities.
We’ve found this kind of active learning helps build self-confidence and teamwork, two important skills employers look for.

They’ll map out your entire degree program, including the exact date of your graduation. Your representative will check in with you periodically throughout your program to make sure you’re comfortably on track. Any time you have questions, you’ll know exactly who to ask.
