More on University of Phoenix
Description from Wikipedia:
The University of Phoenix (UPX) is a private for-profit institution of higher learning. As the largest private university in North America, it has a current enrollment of 420,700 students. The school was founded in 1976 by Dr. John Sperling and is owned by the Apollo Group, Inc. The university has more than 200 campuses offering more than 100 degree programs at the associate's, bachelor's, master's and doctoral levels in various fields of study.
In 2006, due largely to the efforts attributed to the Apollo group, the "50 percent" rule, which requires colleges and universities to conduct half of their instruction in person in order to receive federal aid or collect federal student loans, was modified. It no longer classifies students receiving instruction through telecommunications methods as correspondence students. As such, these students now qualify for federal student aid. The Department of Education requires that this method must include a significant amount of interactivity, to prevent correspondence programs from skirting the rule by using minor emails or posting course materials like syllabi on their websites.
