The program isn't set, you can choose to take 1, 2, or 3 courses. I'm doing 1 at a time so it will take me a bit over 2 years.

As a UoPeople graduate I can agree with what you are saying, there are definitely pros and cons for this degree.

[@christopherpowell1846]

The U.S. Department of Education only recognizes Institutional and Programatic Accreditation. The Department of Education eliminated the distinction between National and Regional Accreditation in February 2020. Also, University of the People is pre-accredited through WASC, which is a former regional accrediting agency. A decision will be made about their accreditation status in February 2023. They are currently accredited by DEAC which is an Institutional Accreditor.

[@CollegeHacked]

I think what's really keeping "regional accreditation" in vogue is that most grad schools require it in the undergrad degrees they accept. And then businesses follow suit. Most students are trying to make their bosses or grad schools happy, not the DoE. Just my thoughts.

[@christopherpowell1846]

Yes, some graduate schools do look for it but in my experience, not many employers (aside from teachers/educators). I know plenty of people that are employed at the highest levels with degrees from formally nationally accredited schools. I don’t believe that most businesses even know that there was a distinction between accreditors.

[@nat-tb7cg]

Hi! How you know that the decisions for the WASC are coming in February? I want to transfer my credits from UoPeople to a regional accredited university but I’ve been reading that it is quite difficult to do it from a national accredited university.

@College Hacked I believe you have forgotten... Not everyone wants a job! Is this a great school for small business owners? Absolutely. As a person looking to build his online business, it would make more sense for you to potentially review based not only through the employee lense, but how this university, or any university can be of benefit when owning/operating a small business.

[@MateDrinker33]

@@nat-tb7cg 1) Because WASC's website volunteers when their next site visits are (I believe that the next one is now in March 2024), and 2) WGU now generally allows transfers of national credits; there may be other regionally accredited universities that do this.

Well, this is sort of late for me. I’m staring my last semester doing my capstone project for my MBA, and it has been fantastic.

I have a coworker that did her MBA at UMass and when chatting she barely knows what I talk about from what I am learning. 😂 and she probably paid 5x what I paid, and I make more money than she does, at the end of the day it’s all about the value one brings to the market in terms of effectiveness not names of schools.

There are people who think that getting a degree from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, NYU, John Hopkins, etc. will make them stand out or get better-paying jobs than others. Maybe or maybe not. I did my Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts at Excelsior University. I obtained about eighty college credits through equivalency examinations via CLEP, DSST, and Coopersmith Career Consulting which covered all four upper-level Psychology courses for my minor. Each upper-level psychology course only cost me 150 US for 3 credits. That is dirt cheap. If you know how to navigate online learning like me, you will not need a student loan debt to drag on for years, not to mention the frustration. I am about to write a book about online college degrees and how to graduate without any college debt

The issue with the low graduation stems from the fact that most students are part-time, while graduation statistics account for four-year completion. Further, I've known students who were enrolled in specific CS courses because they already had a degree and wanted to refresh their knowledge. Still, these students did not intend to finish the degree because they were not fond of the idea of retaking all courses lol

I am currently working on my Masters of IT at UOPeople and I wanted to say thanks for this review. It really is spot-on. I think the reason why there are so few graduates is mainly that there are NO lectures and none of the traditional ways of learning offered by a physically attended university. Everything is online and the majority of the knowledge is shared in writing. So you have to be able to read (a lot). Likewise, there are a lot of writing intensive assignments. So reading and writing is a must. When I got my Bachelors at Sam Houston State University (Texas), I just attended college and took tests for the most part. It was easy. So, this is harder. This is my last term before my Capstone project and I hope to do well.

I cant really afford even the cheapest ones now, but i know in 2 years i will (will be working in Australia haha), so my plan was to get my Bachelor's in UoP and then get a regionally accredited Master's.

[@CollegeHacked]

First of all, thanks so much for your kind words! 🥰 We definitely dream of having millions of subscribers one day 😉 Second, UoP isn’t as free as they sound because of the final exam fee per course. That alone (with the transfer credit eval fee, app fee, etc.) means the degree will cost at least $3,600. For about $5.5k you can get a regionally accredited degree that will qualify you for just about any graduate degree you want :) Not many grad programs will accept UoP as your undergrad degree because they are only nationally accredited :(

I had a terrible experience with UoP and actually hate it. The peer assessments reminded me of high school group projects, which I shouldn't have to do if I'm paying for the class. The only positive things were the price and the fact that it was completely online. Unfortunately, my employer doesn't offer tuition reimbursement for this university. I need an accredited college that allows me to work at my own pace and location. It feels like I wasted my money, and my advisor was unhelpful. Why do I, as the student, have to assess other students when the professor should be doing it? The coursework was easy, but the other students were too slow for me. I believe that if they eliminated peer assessments and discussion boards and made it a work-at-your-own-pace university, the graduation rate would be much higher, possibly up to 90%.

[@CollegeHacked]

You sound like a lazy student and very bitter by that. There is something we learned at UoPeople: Fixed Mindset vs Growth Mindset. Learn to take on challenges and adapt. It helps even outside college into your career. Not everything will always go your way in your career. Majority of UoPeople students have good review about the school. Personally, I did not like that peer assesment from the start. I didn't undertand why I should do it. Then I soon I realized it is a big part of UoPeople style of learning. If I didn't adapt to it, I would have struggled through the rest of the program. Then again I asked myself, why did they have it in the first place. I started engaging positively with peer assesment and I realized that I was learning things from the perspective of others adding to what I have learned. Engaging in responses also helped me solidify what I have learned into my memory. Soon enough I was the one posting promptly and responding at all the engagements I was getting. Finally it catered a big part in contributing to my grades.

[@FYoOp1nion]

[@RoadDawgLife]

Not a horrible review for UofP. I always get kick out of how poorly national accreditation is looked upon. AP News recently had a story on the many students from [US] community colleges (which typically have regional accreditation) that couldn't transfer their credits into universities. It's all about the receiving school's policy regarding transfer credit. If you know where you want to go, find out what they will accept before you apply. National accreditation may be accepted as well as regional.

[@rb3058]

In Western Europe (Germany, Malta etc.) we have VERY AFFORDABLE online universities and Higher Education Institutes with REAL accreditation and the degress are valid in the whole EU and most likely the whole world. Why anyone studies at UoPeople? If you're lucky, there might be an institution in Malta like OPIT - Open Institute of Technology that recognizes a Bachelor's degree from UoPeople and enrolls you into a MSc course. In Germany, I know that UoPeople degrees are generally not recognized. UoPeople does not formally exist in Germany, and the university does not have an anabin entry.

I'm getting close to graduating with a Master's in Education at UoPeople. I would say it is very affordable and quality-wise it is a good choice. Peer-reviewed part is about 50-55% of the overall grade. Reflections and group project is checked by the instructor. Most instructors look at what has been given to you by other peers. I had many instances when my grades given by peers were adjusted by my instructor (for a better grade). Tasks are interesting and make you really think and connect the theory they give with your personal experience. It is extremely hard to cheat or copy-paste from somewhere - the policy for plagiarism is VERY VERY VERY strict. If you are not ready to write 2-3 papers a week, reconsider your enrollment to UoPeople. Overall, I should say I enjoy learning with them. I feel like my views on education evolve and I get interested in those narrow questions related to education which makes me a better teacher. I am also a much better writer. Hope this adds well to the information presented in the video.

I studied Computer Science at UoPeople and found the classes to be good. With seven years of programming experience, I appreciate the flexibility UoPeople offers. Traditional universities struggle to keep up with the rapid pace of programming and AI. Employers won’t wait four years for you to graduate, and by then, technology will have already evolved. For fields like medicine, accredited universities are essential, but for programming or business, UoPeople provides solid foundations. You can always pursue a master’s degree at a more prestigious school later. I’ve seen people without degrees working alongside Stanford graduates in the same roles, earning the same salaries-but without the debt. In the future, UoPeople could gain more respect as its graduates succeed. It offers a real-world perspective and prepares students to adapt, even if it’s not perfect. If you’re willing to work hard, UoPeople is an excellent option.

Hi, how about now, have they been regionally accredited? Thank you.

Still not regionally accredited. Also, paying for the final exam in each class adds up to more than a degree from UMPI.

UMPI is a State School! This is the University of Maine, which is a unified school system. It's the gold standard of accreditation. You will have no problems going to a graduate program.

You would qualify for some graduate programs, but it’s always safer to pursue a regionally accredited program if you want to secure more grad school options 🎓

There’s the letter of the law, and the spirit of the law. The sad reality is that even if they get it, their rep is pretty solid among people who know these school names. Right or wrong, it’s going to take many years before they are viewed as accredited. There are better, safer options!

[@CollegeHacked]

This is a viable strategy for some, but in general it’s going to be better to avoid the hoopla of trying to find a school who will accept and respect a UoP degree. Many employers also don’t consider non-RA degrees to be “real.” If it works for someone’s situation though and they feel comfortable, we are all for it!
