My overall opinion of University of the People is highly positive. It is a groundbreaking institution that is truly democratizing higher education, and it is amazing to see it grow into the #1 largest university in the US with over 270,000 students globally!
What I like most is the incredible flexibility of the 100% online, asynchronous model and its tuition-free affordability, which makes a quality US-accredited degree accessible. The Computer Science curriculum is rigorous, and collaborating with a global community of peers has been incredibly eye-opening. If I had to mention a challenge, it’s that the program requires an intense amount of self-discipline and time management to stay on top of weekly assignments.
I absolutely recommend UoPeople to anyone looking to break into the tech industry or earn a degree on their own terms without financial burden!
