This model is a fixed power stereo microscope with 20x, 40x magnifications. Constructed with two separate light paths which results in a true stereo, or three dimensional (3-D) image of the specimen. Within the objective lens of this microscope you will find two lenses (one for each path of light) side-by-side. The optical design parameters of a stereo microscope limit its 3-D effects to low powers only. This type of microscope features a large stage for closer viewing of the non-microscope world. Items such as insect parts, plant and flower parts, fossils, stamps, coins, PC boards, material surfaces, etc, and does not need to be mounted on a slide. For comfort these microscopes have an adjustable interpupillary distance between 55 mm – 75m. You’ll be amazed to see how ordinary household objects look through these microscopes. Out-of-the-box setup and ease of use features makes this microscope ideal for any school or college student. 20x, 40x Magnification 10x Wide field eyepiece Head rotates 360 degrees Transmitted and Oblique illumination Coarse adjustments Includes spare bulb and fuse, power cord, specimen plate and plastic dust cover

I’m a stay at home mom with no full time access to a babysitter. I’m extremely choosy who I leave my kids with. So I don’t have alot of options other than online since I still have a little one not yet in school himself. I have my highschool diploma but I seriously want to get a degree and a career once the boys are all in school.

as another option, check out what courses are available to you as an external student. Many universities have some courses or subjects available through flexible delivery or block mode. you might not be able to do a whole degree this way, but even doing it part time from home (not a full student load each year) will get you started, and once all your kids are at school, you may be able to complete your studies as a full-time student.

Can someone that graduated tell me what their experience was after receiving an online degree with UOP? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

It really depends on your field of study. I have never had a problem getting a job with any of my nursing degrees: Associates from a private college, Bachelor’s from a state university, and Master’s from an online university (UOP).

Call the professional organizations/governing body for your profession. Talk to recruiters/employers before you register. Do they require you to attend a certain type of school? Does you school need to be accredited? By any specific bodies? Use this information when you are looking at any school, not just UOP.

UOP is accredited by several bodies. Use this list when talking to recruiters/employers: http://www.phoenix.edu/about_us/accreditation.aspx

I enjoyed UOP more than the traditional school I got my AA and BS from. My masters program consisted of discussions, papers, and projects. For me, the benefit of being able to do school work on my own schedule outweighed the cons of the high cost.

I was working as a nursing educator at a university hospital while attending UOP. My supervisors were supportive of me going to school and liked that I wasn’t taking off work to go to traditional classes. I was able to use many of my work projects for school projects also, killing two birds with one stone so to speak.

Within two months of graduating I had two new job offers (one from a private college and one from the university hospital). I was even on a phone interview in less than an hour of commencement, I was still in my regalia even.

I took the job teaching nursing at the private college. That same semester they hired another faculty member who was completing her Masters at UOP. I am now back at the university hospital, and another nurse is completing her Masters at UOP.
