In 2009, the University of Phoenix was ranked #28 out of 44 ranked Colleges and Universities that offer online degree programs by OEDb.

Also, the University of Phoenix is ranked #63 in the World ''[*based on popularity of its name in search engines only] ...''surpassing many state universities in the US, Canada, etc.. please be advised that according to this list (2010), Harvard University is ranked # 42...so you be the judge on how far this fine and respected university came along since its inception in late 70s....Kudos UoP

[''Note that this website and its rankings only looks at how often a university's name appears through search engine metrics - not at all about its academic qualities]''

FYI, the above poster's link to "rankings" is a site that only ranks ''popularity'' of various universities' names through search engine statistics! The site specifically says:

"The aim of this website is to provide an approximate popularity ranking of world Universities and Colleges based upon the popularity of their websites. ...

We do not claim - by any means - to rank organisations or their programs, by the quality of education or level of services provided."

Basically these rankings mean nothing other than how often searched for them on Google. I've got nothing against Univ. of Phoenix, but just want to make sure no one is misconceived by the above (unclear) post.

Here is an international ranking:

I am currently attending University of Phoenix for the following reasons; 1) The nation's largest private, fully accredited university. 2) Provides relevant, real world education at over 200 campuses and learning centers. 3) Offers more than 100 programs at the associate's, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral levels. 4.) UoP has 397, 700 students and is growing. 5.) Constantly innovating for quality education. The admistrators and professors at UoP are great! Although the program is accelerated and difficult, it is very rewarding and eye opening. I have had a great education and learning experience at UoP. I am proud to be a PHOENIX!

The degrees differ greatly. They are two fundamentally deferent schools. The University of Phoenix is a for profit school and more than likely would not make the list of top 100 schools in the US. The advantage for the University of Phoenix, is convenience and number of degrees offered.

Keller is by far better and more respected then UoP. I have worked with those who have graduated from both. The Keller MBAs are far supperior to University of Phoenix grads.

Which online school is better Everest college or university of Phoenix?

First, there are a number of institutions named Everest in a number of states. I am not sure which of them you are referring to. I can say that the University of phoenix, has the preferred regional accreditation. If the Everest College you are referring also has a regional accreditation it will be a toss up. The only thing I can tell you is that the individuals I know who have graduated from the University of Phoenix were extremely satisfied with their coursework and student services.
