"I couldn't even consider a brick-and-mortar school. Most of my study was done in hotel rooms.
In Bangkok, Hong Kong, Beijing, Lima, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Zurich, London, Vancouver, and
even while on vacation in St. Maartin. I investigated other options, but I picked University of Phoenix because
of my boss's recommendation."
Harry Huber, MAOM, Global Business Intelligence Specialist, IBM
"I was able to bring practical hands-on experience from work to class, and vice-versa. It was
challenging, thought-provoking. It's not like regular school where you attend a class and then
put it aside, you're living the education. It becomes a part of you."
Robert Finni, BSB/A, Product Manager International Calling Cards, AT&T
"Invariably whatever course I was taking applied to whatever job I was doing at the time. For
example, a project management course I was taking came in handy because I was appointed to head
up a big telemarketing department for my company. It helped me to understand how to put together
money resources, budget, personnel resources. All the steps you need to pull together to make the
project happen. Everything we did at University of Phoenix related to the real world, nothing was theory."
Linda L. Hanford, BSB/M, Marketing Coordinator, Geoffrey H. Edmunds Home Builder
"The lack of a degree was probably the most limiting factor in my upward mobility. Within three
weeks after my graduation, I was promoted. I firmly believe in the quality of UOP instruction and
the experience I had was completely positive. In fact, I'm currently working on my MBA/TM program."
Scott P. Foisy, BSB/M, Program Manager, Department of Defense
"The quality of the Online program surpassed the education I was getting on the land-based campuses.
And that's because of the depth and breadth of the experience that other students brought to the
classroom experience. In my class there were several students actually working in International
Management around the world."
