UOPX Careers Analysis methodology
The following methodology explains how the University of Phoenix Students and Alumni Careers Analysis was conducted and how leadership representation was measured.
Data source
This analysis was completed in August 2026 using publicly available LinkedIn profile data. University of Phoenix students and alumni were defined as LinkedIn members who list University of Phoenix in their education history, including both attendees and graduates.
Analysis approach
Data was gathered and cross-referenced using the LinkedIn Alumni tool and LinkedIn Sales Navigator. Leadership representation was analyzed using LinkedIn Sales Navigator seniority filters.
Seniority classifications
LinkedIn Sales Navigator’s standardized seniority filters, classifications and definitions were used throughout the analysis. University of Phoenix did not create, redefine or independently assign seniority classifications. Individual seniority categories were analyzed separately.
Combined leadership groups
For reported combined leadership groups, applicable LinkedIn seniority filters were selected together so that Sales Navigator returned the unique population represented across those categories. These combined groups reflect combinations of LinkedIn’s existing filters and do not represent new seniority classifications created by University of Phoenix.
