What you need to know about a University of Phoenix Online degree

The University of Phoenix Online offers degree programs in several disciplines. Depending on your professional pursuits and interests, you can opt for an Undergraduate, Graduate, or Doctorate course in business management, business administration, nursing and health care management, social and behavioral sciences, and education. It is important that you carefully select the program that is most suitable to you from the numerous online programs offered by the University.

To enroll, you need to ensure that you have the basic configuration set on your computer, a reliable Internet service provider, and a phone connection. The entire process is online, from registration to the completion of the degree program. This places an added responsibility on you because, unlike a classroom situation where the learning process is set, in an online situation you have to decide the pace at which you want to complete the program.

All the study material is in the form of text only, and it is important that you save the material for review later. The advantage of the online medium, however, is that you do not miss any part of the learning process. All your interactions will be in the form of email messages, and most of them will be with your instructor directly. The instructor is a member of a highly qualified faculty at the University, and is a practitioner in that particular field.

Since the only channel of communication is through the internet, you will not have any face-to-face interaction as you would expect in a classroom situation. Therefore, you need to make the most of the email exchanges with your instructor as well as other professionals in course of the online discussion forums and question-answer sessions.

Each course has duration of 5-6 weeks, and you can opt to take breaks within this duration. However, you must avoid a situation where the breaks prove to be detrimental to the progress of the course. To a considerable extent, the success of an online degree at the University of Phoenix depends on your skills to think creatively and communicate effectively with the faculty and other professionals online.
