Continually innovating to help working adults enhance their careers in a rapidly changing world
Cambridge-educated entrepreneur Dr. John Sperling founded University of Phoenix in 1976. An economic historian and professor, Sperling set out to address the needs of a rapidly changing workforce. He made a commitment to ensure that adult students have the necessary tools to get ahead in a competitive economy. For more than 40 years, the university has been committed to the adult learner and their higher education goals. Even as times changed and the university adjusted its learning platforms to meet modern student needs, such as online courses and flexible in-person classes, the core objective remains the same: success for the adult learner.
