They are a proprietary school (for profit) more interested in getting a students money than providing a quality education. It's not a well respected degree by employers.

I am currently in my third block of classes online and I can tell you I love it. It is a bit hard but if you set your mind to it, you can do it. I have had no problems and started in January.

I personally haven't heard any horror stories. They've been around for quite a few years now, so they must have at least SOME credibility. :)

My friend is currently working on her MBA through Pheonix online. She always has good things to say about the program she is in. However, they did raise the tuition while she was mid program. This often happens at any school (online or brick and mortar), so no big surprise.
