Small Classes
I knew everyone in my class pretty well. Including my instructor.
At University of Phoenix, we believe that small classes are an important part of your success. Keeping class sizes down means that instructors are accessible, and that you're held accountable for your own academic achievement. With an average of 15 students per class, our intimate classroom setting provides you with a place to discuss new concepts, try out new ideas, develop communication skills and test your leadership abilities.
We've found this kind of active learning helps build self-confidence and teamwork - two important skills that employers look for.
You bring experience to the classroom. Just like your classmates.
Personalized attention means personalized learning.

Collaborative learning teams.
When everyone does their part, we all succeed.
At University of Phoenix, our job is to help prepare you for your job.
We want you to learn. But we also want you to learn how to excel in a professional environment - which means we place a high value on teamwork and communication. To help you hone these skills, you'll collaborate on class projects in teams of three to five people.
Online or on campus, working in a learning team allows you and your group members to contribute your strengths, but also receive help in areas where you're weaker. Collaborative learning creates the push-pull of both peer pressure and peer support, while also developing skills for the workplace.
Teamwork. Leadership. Things you'll learn in every class.
Your classmates aren't your competition. They're your teammates.
