Yes, the University of Phoenix is a SCAM, as it is stricly for profit, and it targets the least able to succeed students (cash cows) in college for its enrollment (sales).
Most importantly, graduates of UoP are no better off than anyone. You can earn a 4.0 GPA at UoP just by typing papers (replaces real life hands on experience). Don't expect an UoP degree to hold any value in the real world.

∙ 11y agoIt's regionally accredited (the kind of accreditation that actually means something), so it can't be TOO bad.
If you're asking "does it have the kind of prestige that Stanford or Harvard have" then no, not really.
If you're asking "is it as good as Podunk Creek Community College", then yeah, it's a good school.
