We believe everyone deserves access to higher education.

I've finally found an education that's tailored to my life and academic goals.

In 1976, John Sperling founded University of Phoenix so working men and women could go to college and earn their degree. What began in Phoenix, Arizona, grew to become the largest private university in North America, with more than 200 locations. Now, students come here for an education that is relevant to their lives and to the world around them.

Whether you go to class online or on campus, you'll find:

• Class times that fit with your work, family and social life.
• Small class sizes for engaging discussions and interactions with your classmates and instructors.
• Faculty who combine their personal knowledge of the field with proven academic theory.
• Up-to-date curriculum that is developed in collaboration with faculty and industry experts.
• Personalized student support from a team of advisors who help you from enrollment to graduation.
• A world-class online library that is available 24/7, so you have access to scholarly research when you want.

While widely available, not all programs are available in all locations or in both online and on-campus formats. Please check with a University Enrollment Advisor.
