Mission Statement

University of Phoenix is dedicated to serving the educational needs of working professionals and their employers. Its innovative adult learning model makes higher education more accessible, efficient and relevant to the real world and recognizes the difference between younger students without experience and working professionals with practical knowledge. Research indicates that adult learners are more likely than their younger counterparts to bring to the classroom organizational and personal experiences that enrich learning and help them process and integrate new knowledge. Additionally, their more complex life roles and responsibilities mean that adults usually have less time and fewer resources to devote to education. The result is that adults expect educational experiences that are focused, challenging and as immediately relevant as they are theoretical. The University therefore maintains small classes (both online and on campus) in order to preserve a highly interactive and personally relevant learning experience, contributing to an atmosphere of knowledge sharing.

About University of Phoenix

Beginning in the early 1970s University of Phoenix reinvented the way in which working adults could achieve a higher education and made academic innovation, quality and accountability its hallmark. It pioneered an educational and service model specifically geared toward the way adults learn best and made its programs widely available to working students using common-sense scheduling and fresh new approaches to academic delivery. University of Phoenix questioned the status-quo in every aspect of its academic culture and operation, because it was on a mission to be a university where teaching and learning is the center-piece and adult learners are the highest priority. This revolutionary approach extended to the University's early decision to organize as a for-profit entity, an act that has propelled its growth, widened its outreach to students both nationally and internationally and provides the resources for continuous improvement, academic accountability and assessment, and excellence in its classrooms. The University has received national recognition for excellence in learning assessment, online learning, undergraduate education, quality service and organizational performance. University of Phoenix is truly a different kind of university, whose time has come. Just ask its 17,000 faculty, and staff who are passionately dedicated to teaching and serving the University's 200,000 adult students enrolled on campuses and online throughout North America.
