Does University of Phoenix have Semesters or quarters?

Answer 1

As a University of Phoenix Student I believe I can help with this question. Each class at the University of Phoenix is 5 weeks long. Attendance is ongoing, but financial aid and academic year sake, they do split classes into sessions/semesters. Each student would have a different start for their semester/session depending on when they begin. For example, When I began July 2008, my first session was my first 4 classes, five weeks each, so my first session ended 20 weeks later in December. The second session began immediately and ended 20 weeks later in May. I choose to take a two week break in the middle of my second session, so was two weeks behind for ending my second session and beginning my second one, which still began in May 2009 and ends in October. The next one will be October 2009 til March 2010 for me (when I'll actually be finished with my degree). So everything is ongoing and again, each student's semester/session will be different based on when they begin taking classes and if and when they take breaks. Enrollment is open all year round, so there is no average start time either, it's based on the individual and what they want to do.

Answer 2

AT University of Phoenix each block of classes is 9 weeks long, two classes at a time. there are 4 classes in each semester, 8 in an academic year. Or a minimum of 30 weeks.
