<p>I know UOP has a great Pharmacy program, but I don't know a lot about its economics and communications majors. I want to double major in economics and communications and was wondering if it is worth going to UOP? Thank you!! </p>
<p>@senior2015 Worth it is pretty subjective. It is a good school and the most beautiful campus I’ve ever walked. My answer depends on the financial aid package and your price sensitivity. (you are going to study Econ). </p>
<p>The head of Cisco sent his kids there. A $50k tuition bill is a drop in the bucket for him. For people with thinner wallets that’s a big bill, about 9X a CSU’s tuition.</p>
<p>My son was accepted as an Econ major a few years ago. He was offered no help with the cost. We were looking at $65k per year to attend. We’ll cover all 4 years at Chico State for about that amount. IMHO, the quality of education and reputation in the job market (for these programs) favors Chico. Since I am very price sensitive, that’s where he went. (He felt UOP was too small so he didn’t argue). He is a sophomore @ Chico, switched to a Business Major and loves it.</p>
<p>As I recall, just 15% of students pay full tuition. If you’ve got significant aid, that changes the conversation - particularly if you love the school. I will caution - I know people who’ve had their aid package shrink at UOP. One went from full ride to no support half way through her sophomore year. </p>
<p>Good luck</p>
