How working adults can evaluate online college in 2026

(BPT) - Key takeaways:

  • Working adults increasingly need education that can fit around jobs, caregiving and evolving skills demands as AI reshapes jobs, skills and hiring.
  • Undergraduate enrollment among adults 30 and older is increasing and traditional college models were not built for adults balancing full-time work, caregiving and changing career demands.
  • An online university should have recognized institutional accreditation, career-relevant curriculum, transparent tuition information, clear transfer credit policies and targeted student support designed for working adult learners.
  • University of Phoenix is an accredited, transfer-friendly university offering online degree programs designed for working adults and built for real life.
