At University of Phoenix, you can choose a learning style to fit your lifestyle—whether it's attending classes through our campus-based learning format or online learning format. Both formats are widely available but may not be offered at all locations.
Campus-based Learning
- Attend class just once a week for most programs. Classes generally are held in the evening. Some campuses offer day or weekend classes.
- Work closely with a small number of classmates in a learning team, addressing challenges and issues faced in today's workplace.
- Gain presentation skills in face-to-face class meetings.
Online Learning
- Complete coursework through electronic forums. This includes a main forum where you discuss, debate and actively participate in course subjects, as well as a chat room where you can talk with classmates about any topic. In the course materials forum, you download the course syllabus, presentations or other resources. An individual forum is where you drop off completed assignments, as well as access materials and notes provided specifically for you by your instructor.
- Log in and participate with your class when and where you choose. Participate three or four days each week depending upon your degree program.
- Work closely with a small number of classmates in a learning team if you are working toward your bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree.
Some campuses offer formats that blend online and campus-based learning. Contact a University of Phoenix representative for information.
