University of Phoenix survey finds recent graduates value flexibility, career-relevant education and support for real life

University of Phoenix releases findings from its 2025 Biennial Alumni Survey, highlighting how recent graduates describe the value of an education model designed for working adults. The survey found that 88% of recent graduates believe University of Phoenix was worth it, 94% believe the University provided the flexibility to balance family, work, school and life, and 92% agreed that if they had to do it all over again, they would attend University of Phoenix.

"Adult learners are not asking higher education to make their lives less real. They are asking us to design education that respects the reality they are already living," said John Woods, Ph.D., provost and chief academic officer at University of Phoenix. "These findings are meaningful because they reflect what we hear from our students every day: They want flexibility, they want practical value, and they want to know that the time they invest in their education can connect to the goals they are working toward. Our responsibility is to keep reducing friction, keep strengthening relevance and keep helping students build confidence as they move through their academic journey."
