Classes aimed at working students

Small class sizes at University of Phoenix help encourage active participation and lively discussion.

As today's economy continues to change, and job stability remains precarious, many working adults are returning to school to earn advanced degrees that will increase their marketability.

Since 1976, University of Phoenix has been a recognized leader in adult education. Commitment to high educational standards and exceptional student service has made University of Phoenix the largest private accredited university in the United States. Every year we help thousands of working professionals achieve their academic and career goals.

University of Phoenix, Hawaii Campus, offers bachelor's and master's degrees in business, counseling, criminal justice, education, health administration, human services, nursing and technology. To help students succeed in the workplace, University of Phoenix courses are taught with an emphasis on how to apply academic theory to real-world situations. The curriculum is continually updated to answer the current needs of business and industry, as well as to reflect current research.

Because University of Phoenix is dedicated to working professionals, the program delivery offers unsurpassed convenience, efficiency and value. Students learn through an innovative blend of in-class and online instruction. They attend class at one of our conveniently located campuses for the first and last class of each course in the evening or on weekends; the remaining four classes are done via the Internet. They receive the proven benefits of face-to-face interaction in the classroom, with the added advantage of networking with peers in their learning teams. Classes are kept small to encourage active participation and lively discussion. Courses are offered one at a time, so students can more fully explore each subject.

In addition to the classroom/ online instruction model, University of Phoenix uses cutting-edge technology to enhance the learning experience. The electronic learning resources, called rEsource™, consist of digital course materials and "rich media" content.
