    It's real, no doubt there.

    Note, however, that it's all about respect and reputation when it comes to educational institutions. If you get a business degree from Phoenix and apply for a job where another applicant has the same degree from Harvard, you can guess which degree carries more weight.

    Still, not everyone can go to Harvard. And a degree from Phoenix is a hundred times better than no degree at all.

    It is a real college, but it is probably not your best option. University of Phoenix is a for-profit school, meaning that you will end up paying a lot more for the same degree that you could get at your local community college. It is a real college, but I would recommend looking into some community colleges that offer degrees in your field of interest before paying for University of Phoenix..

    Personally I wouldn't go to one of those tv advertised colleges (itt tech, devry, etc.) If you are looking for a lower tuition college go somewhere local.
