Any school in the University of Texas system has a far better reputation in the academic realm than the University of Phoenix.

University of Texas I've heard good things

But I wonder UTA is cheaper than UoP? I know both are online programs.

@aprnKate: its the arlington one

Specializes in ER/Tele, Med-Surg, Faculty, Urgent Care.

As a UTEP alum, I have to agree. I am planning to apply for my DNP, at current tuition, I am looking at $15,000 for this. My MSN cost a little less then $10,000 but I graduated almost 15 years ago. U of Phx will cost you more. You can go online and do a calculation. Also, here is another post I posted about U. of Phx. https://allnurses.com/nursing-news/university-of-phoenix-1019212.html

UoP started evaluating my credentials but I saw that UTEP is recommended by UCI, my prospect job, I kinda want to know more about it.

What track are you looking at? I know quite a few of the faculty, a couple I taught with at another university, another UTEP faculty was in my LPN class! I think they have a very solid reputation. PM me if you want.

Specializes in Psych ICU, addictions.

UTA, or any UT school, is WAY cheaper than UoP, plus it's got a better reputation among employers. In my neck of the woods, a lot of the employers--healthcare and otherwise--don't take UoP seriously.

Nice to know Meriwhen.. Thank you..
