Axia College of University of Phoenix

how I was more than reluctant to enter the college campus scene at my age.

I said to her, "Well I'm doing it".

believing distant learning was not accredited studies.. I then proceed in conversation, telling her about

University of Phoenix, and how well known and definitely it was proven to be.

Explaining that asynchronous meant we were on line at different times but able to each access the same

information at any time. "Like with email, you know, we can communicate with each other even though...
