UOP Grads Earn Less!
One of the biggest reasons to pursue higher education is to increase earnings potential. In fact, that is one of the main selling points in the UOP sales pitch. But they never tell you the whole truth... If they did you would see that UOP graduates, on average, earn significantly less than graduates from other US colleges! Why would anyone attend a University knowing that their graduates, on average, earn less than most other schools in the nation? Let's look at the data from Payscale.com. This is live data direct from Payscale.com.
Median Salary by Degree/Major Subject - School: University of Phoenix (UOP) (United States)/Salary/by_Degree/0.jpg)
Let's compare to national averages:
Median Salary by Degree/Major Subject - Country: United States (United States)
Unfortunately the two charts do not match all of the degrees
shown, but for the degrees that are shown, let's break down the data:
| Degree | UOP | USA Average | Difference | % |
| MBA | $60,987.00 | $78,985.00 | $17,998.00 | 30% |
| BBA | $50,268.00 | $52,354.00 | $2,086.00 | 4% |
| BS Accounting | $47,826.00 | $57,072.00 | $9,246.00 | 19% |
Wow, These percentages are significant! And this is just a comparison to national averages. By attending an above average school, you can easily make far more than a UOP graduate! Not to mention, you won't encounter employers who openly or discretely have policies against hiring UOP grads!
