Student review [#98826] for Computer Science
at University of the People - UoPeople

The University of the People is regionally accredited, like any other university, and provides high quality education in computer science and other subjects, but is affordable. Students are not rejected because they can’t pay six figures for a bachelor’s degree. The school takes pride in making sure that people are not excluded from education due to their location in the world either, and strives to ensure access to people who would otherwise be completely denied an education. In Canada, even, there was no way I could ever afford to get my BSc in computer science, and it didn’t matter how strong my grades were. All that mattered in Canada was whether I was already rich or not (I was not) until I found UoPeople. Since graduating in 2019, I’ve qualified for far more STEM jobs that require a degree than I ever could have, and I will always be grateful to this one-of-a-kind school. If you don’t think you can get an education because you are marginalized in any way, or just don’t want to accumulate massive debt (your country regards education as a business where nothing matters but profit), you should definitely have a look. The programs are great. Even with the incredibly low cost, there are scholarships too.
