UPOX Turns 30!

Jimmy Carter was president. Star Wars first appeared in theaters. Many students were toddlers–many more perhaps weren’t even born. The year was 1976 and University of Phoenix was holding its first classes.

That means that 2006 marks the University’s thirtieth birthday. But, unlike other 30 year olds, we aren’t dreading this momentous milestone. We look back at the last three decades with pride and a large degree of awe.

We are proud that in three short decades, University of Phoenix has gone from a small, upstart institution to the premier provider of higher education in the United States.

And we are in awe of the students who have enrolled, graduated, and changed their lives, the lives of those around them, and the communities in which they live.

That’s pretty cool stuff for any 30 year old.

We look forward to the next 30 years of innovative education and serving more students just like you. We couldn’t have done it without you and we thank you for the confidence you have shown by enrolling with us.

I'll be 31 Jan 2nd 2007. I can't believe it.
