Save Time & Money

Transcript

Let’s meet Jason Wells. He’s originally from South Africa, but moved to Utah when his wife pursued a new job opportunity in the US. Jason was a self-proclaimed stay-at-home husband and used that time to further his education with an MBA. Let’s hear how UOPX’s tuition savings opportunities made it possible for him to go back to school. It’s all you, Jason.

Thank you for the introduction. Alex. After reviewing several business goals, I could not believe the cost of pursuing an MBA degree and as a recent immigrant, I had no credit in the USA. I almost gave up on my MBA plans until a friend of mine recommended the University of Phoenix’s competency-based MBA program. Tuition costs for the MBA are significantly less than traditional in-person MBA programs, which was a perfect fit for my budget. I was able to receive the educational rigor and benefits of a traditional MBA such as networking with other like-minded MBA students, but with the flexibility of online education at a cost I could afford. My financial counselor was also great in making sure my educational choice matched my budget. The overall educational experience was excellent and intense. The flexibility of the program was great. My classroom was the running trail. Learning objectives, introduction to operations management, page one. My home, the gym, local library, coffee shops, airport lounges, or the hospital where I got to witness the birth of my son. Not only was I able to save money on the cost of credits, but I was also able to save by going to class at home or anywhere I wanted. Having moved my entire lives to another country, the flexibility and cost savings provided by the University of Phoenix made it possible for me to continue my education and graduate with an MBA degree and no student debt. The competency based programs aren’t the only way the University of Phoenix helps students save on their degrees. They also help students save by accepting college transfer credits for relevant personal and professional experience and credits for military training. I also appreciated the peace of mind that their fixed tuition gave me, knowing that the cost of my degree wouldn’t go up throughout my program. From my experience, the competency based program was brilliant as it challenged me to leverage the knowledge and skills I’d gained from years of work experience while fitting school into my budget and schedule and not the other way around. But anyway, that’s it from me. Back to you, Alex.

Thanks for sharing. Tuition costs can be a barrier for non-traditional students, but UOPX has options to help students graduate for less, including up to $3,000 in scholarships for qualifying new students and no out-of-state tuition. They also work with more than 1500 employers to provide tuition assistance benefits. That was great. Thanks again.
