What’s a field of study?
A field of study is the subject area you focus on as you earn your degree — and the starting point for where you want to go next. Our online programs are designed to connect that field directly to real-world careers, helping you build skills you can use right away while learning on a schedule that fits your life. Choose a field of study that aligns with your goals and start moving forward.

University of Phoenix offers flat, predictable and affordable tuition rates, from the day you enroll until the day you graduate from your program. That's our Tuition Guarantee.
Tuition is based on number of credit hours per course. Courses are typically 3 credits, but can range from 1-6 credits. Costs do not include savings opportunities like transfer credits and scholarships. Learn about Cost of Attendance.
Save time and money
University of Phoenix doesn’t play pricing games.
- Transfer-friendly programs. You don’t need to unnecessarily repeat coursework. Transfer in up to 87 prior eligible credits for many of our programs, and you could be 70% of the way to a bachelor’s degree.
- Your life experience has taught you more than what’s on your transcript. Real-world experience — like training, licenses and even parenting — can turn into real college credit. Every 3 credits earned means one less class to take and $1,300 saved.
- We offer an unlimited number of scholarships, so if you qualify, you get one. Starting with your first course, every qualifying new student can be awarded one of our scholarships, or you’ll get the best savings you qualify for. No competing or writing essays.
- Competency-based master’s degrees you can finish in under a year for less than $11K — with locked-in tuition and a manageable pace that fits your life.

You’ll also have a dedicated place for discussion about course topics with your faculty member and peers. Need extra support? Reach out to your instructor directly with questions.
Your schedule may vary. Our online classroom is mostly asynchronous. Asynchronous means you’re not typically required to attend a lecture at a specific time and date. You can navigate through weekly modules on your schedule, but you must still adhere to designated deadlines.
