Sororities at University of Phoenix

Yeah, it cracks me up that there is a University of Phoenix stadium when there is no football team. University of Phoenix is a for-profit university that has several locations across the country, as well as internet offerings.

OK. My question is, wasn't the University of Phoenix at one time a "normal" university? And then later it transitioned to being a for-profit internet school?

How big is the main campus in Phoenix? What is student enrollment?

And what do they use the stadium for? Hosting concerts and stuff?

ETA: OK, I looked at their website and realized the Cardinals play in the stadium. And it appears they were founded in '76 as a nontraditional university for working students...

It doesn't even really seem that they have a real campus in Phoenix, or at least I can't really find mention of it on the site.

The stadium is used for the Arizona Cardinals and the Fiesta Bowl.

And it looks like they have multiple campuses in Phoenix. I don't see any links to a flagship campus on their website.

ETA: Looks like you found the info too

Yeah, but for these kinds of schools, a "campus" usually consists of a few floors of an office building or a rented area in a shopping center. I was thinking that maybe there was an original real campus in Phoenix, but it doesn't appear that way.

Oh yea, I knew that. But looking at the site, I didn't see anything that said "Downtown Phoenix" or "Phoenix Main" or anything that would indicate that they had a traditional campus in the city.

Yeah. Well, according to other people who've posted on this thread, they do have a real campus in Phoenix - I just can't find any trace of it on their website. I'm guessing it's the Phoenix Hohokam Campus, as every other location in Phoenix Metro is listed as a "learning center" and not a campus. But it does seem like that if it's like a real campus with buildings, trees, etc., they'd at least promote it a little bit on their website. So maybe it's industrial/unattractive. Who knows?

ETA: I see that their location in Austin is also called a "campus" and it's just an office suite off Mo-pac. So who knows what "campus" means to the University of Phoenix, as contrasted with a "learning center."

To the OP, if you can get into ASU and your schedule permits, and particularly if you're seeking a BA, I think you'll have a much better educational experience at ASU.

The stadium doesn't belong to the Univ of Phoenix. They simply own the naming rights to the Arizona Cardinals stadium.
