  • Learner-Centric Approach Leads to Graduation

    I believe educating the next generation of leaders must be a priority. Today’s complex and rapidly changing world makes it critical that educators in every discipline not only make education more accessible, but also create systems to support learners so that they complete their degrees.

  • Guiding Learners to Overcome Any Odds

    Going through the educational journey to earn a doctorate is a life-changing experience. As someone who has earned a doctoral degree, I can personally attest to that.

  • Teaching Opportunity I Was Seeking

    I discovered University of Phoenix by chance in 2003. A LISTSERV I subscribed to featured a post about the University’s School of Advanced Studies. The author mentioned the school was expanding and needed instructors with a Ph.D. in Social Sciences to teach online doctoral-level courses.

  • UOPX partners on solar energy project

    Through AzRISE, University of Phoenix joined The University of Arizona to explore solar power technology. With a goal to promote sustainable resources, the schools worked together to build a car powered by sunlight. UOPX and the U of A continue to combine their resources to develop education programs that can help students develop solar technology for the future.

  • Going Green for a better tomorrow

    Apollo Group, parent company of University of Phoenix, is environmentally conscious. From a Green initiative that involved sustainable design approaches when our corporate offices were built to energy efficient lighting, we are making a commitment to ourselves and our future. At campuses nationwide we are consuming less energy and recycling for a better tomorrow.

  • Accessibility, Flexibility Lead to Diversity at University of Phoenix

    Not since the G.I. Bill of Rights of World War II have so many adults sought higher education.

But after the 1944 passage of the bill, millions of veterans now found the doors of academe wide open and welcoming, regardless of race, religion or socioeconomic standing. In the peak year of 1947, veterans accounted for 49 percent of college admissions.

    How a history professor became the pioneer of the for-profit revolution

    John G. Sperling, as he often reminds those around him, is running out of time. At 88, he is in relatively good health, despite a weak kidney and back problems. He still walks the dog, drives himself to meetings, and seems to have no shortage of nervous energy: Forced to sit still for any length of time, he twirls his cellphone between two fingers or distractedly peels the label from a bottle of water, leaving it in shreds on the table.
