About Us

In 1976, John Sperling founded University of Phoenix so working men and women could go to college. What began in Phoenix, Arizona, grew to become the largest private university in North America, with more locations nationwide.

University of Phoenix is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (http://hlcommission.org)
