Time to Graduate for Transfer Students at University of Phoenix

The University of Phoenix (UoP) is designed for working adults; transfer students can finish in 2–4 years depending on several variables.

Key Factors

Factor	Impact
Transfer credits accepted	Up to 90 semester credits (75% of a 120-credit bachelor’s) from regionally accredited institutions. More credits = faster finish.
Degree program	Bachelor’s = 120 credits; Associate = 60 credits; some programs have more/required residencies.
Course load	Full-time (12–15 credits/term) → ~2–2.5 years for bachelor’s. Part-time (6–9 credits/term) → ~3.5–4.5 years.
Prior Learning Assessment (PLA)	Credit for work/military/certification experience (via portfolio/exams) can shave months.
Course scheduling	5-week courses, year-round; no traditional semesters. Continuous enrollment speeds progress.

Typical Scenarios

Associate degree + full-time: ~2 years to bachelor’s.
60 transfer credits + part-time: ~3.5 years.
90 transfer credits + full-time: ~1–1.5 years (capstone + remaining gen eds).

Next Steps

Request an official transfer credit evaluation from UoP admissions (free, no obligation). An enrollment advisor will map your credits to your chosen program and give a personalized timeline.
