Abstract
University of Phoenix (UoP) was the pioneer in the e-Learning industry of the US. Set up in 1976 with the mission of providing advanced degrees to working adults, the university began experimenting with providing online education in the 1980s. In 1989, it set up an online division called UoP Online, through which it offered a variety of bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees to working professionals who did not find it convenient to attend regular college. The case discusses the events that led to the setting up of UoP and how it has functioned since. The operational features of a provider of online education are clearly discussed, as well as the pros and cons of online education in general, and UoP in particular.
