Student review [#97825] for Business Administration
at University of the People - UoPeople

University of the People (UoPeople) is a nonprofit, online institution accredited in the United States, offering tuition‑free associate, bachelor’s and master’s programmes. Founded in 2009, it holds DEAC accreditation and is recognised by the U.S. Department of Education, allowing U.S. students to qualify for federal financial aid. Apart from a modest $60 exam and administration fee per course, learners bear no tuition cost — a huge benefit for Nigerians and other African students. Its flexible, self‑paced semesters fit working professionals, parents, and entrepreneurs, while a diverse student body from 200+ countries enriches cross‑cultural interaction. Partnerships with Microsoft, Google and Coursera open doors to internships and job‑networking. However, the fully virtual model demands strong self‑discipline, reliable internet connectivity, and a narrower programme catalogue than traditional universities; some employers may need credential verification. In summary, UoPeople is recommended for affordable, flexible tech or business degrees, provided learners confirm local recognition and can sustain independent study.
