Graduates of University of Phoenix, how easy is it for you to get a job?

Hello, i'm interested in UoP and i've been studying up on them a lot lately. I would like to hear from those who have their degree through this school. How easy/hard has it been for you to apply and get accepted for a job in that field? Any insight really helps, thanks!

1. First, you need to understand your degree and the skills learned outside of the core Bachelor/Masters of.... UOPs courses are designed to bridge the skills gaps that have been identified by hiring managers and HR professionals. The courses address skills related to Communication, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Information Utilization, Adaptability and Agility. The courses are designed for Adult Learners that have work experience and can relate their background to the topics being learned. For me it has been an awesome experience. My employer actually sends us to UOP. Most employers associate UOP to the "online school". They do have brick and mortar learning centers where you can attend classes one night per week. The school is more expensive than a state college, but I have learned more at UOP than I learned in my Bachelors program at a state university. Again, the topics can be taken to work the next day. State universities lecture at you and force meaningless tests on you. UOP sharpens your critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills by having you write papers related to case scenarios and specific topics. I have learned a lot and my employer is benefitting from it. You also don't have to purchase books, all of your books are online in an extensive library. $75 Resource Fee per course vs. $200-$300 for books per course. You tell me. I could go on and on. You won't regret attending there.
