Utah Valley University

I don’t want to be rude but, the professors here in my opinion are not too helpful. Same with the advisors. I am in the process of going to another school. I am sad since this University was very close to where I live. I have had nothing but bad luck with this school. The college I am transferring to had to help me get my transcript because my advisor wasn’t helping much. I have only had two professors that honestly cared about my education and made me feel worth their time. I am trying to make the... Read More best out of my experience with college. I lose interest in a subject when the professors lose interest. I feel like I don’t learn anything.

Utah Valley University is an excellent school that is very much on the rise. I loved the accounting program, and everything that I was taught there has already helped me to land a great career at an incredible accounting firm. What I love most about Utah Valley University is its focus on providing a great education to its students. UVU does not have a large focus on research. While some might see this as a poor decision and the reason that UVU does have the prestige of Harvard, I see it as a wonderful... Read More opportunity for the students. Most, if not all, of my professors had been working professional in the field for years and years before ever working as a professor at UVU. This offered great experiences that we, the students, were able to learn from. I love the education that I received at UVU, and I would recommend the school to any student who is in search of a great education.

I love Utah Valley University's focus on engaged learning, this is an especially beneficial attribute with a degree like social work. When applying for graduate schools and jobs relating to social work, they primarily care about your experience in the field. Utah Valley University starts engaged learning long before you start your program. During my freshman and sophomore year, I had several classes that required community service. This helped me to be a valuable candidate for the BSW program and... Read More also helped me develop relationships with community partners that I could connect with my junior and senior year for further service opportunities. If you are looking for a university that engages you with the community, Utah Valley University is an excellent choice.

My experience at Utah Valley University has been unbeatable. I have gone to UVU for 4 years, and will be graduating this semester. In this time, I have worked with almost every teacher in the music department. One of the best things about the music department is that students really do get amazing opportunities that don't exist elsewhere. A huge example of this was the fact that I was able to be an assistant conductor for UVU choirs for 2 years. In this position, I acquired invaluable skills, and... Read More had experiences that simply aren't available to undergraduates in normal circumstances. At auditions for master's programs I was told that my preparation was superior to most of the other applicants, some of whom had taught high school for years. This is all thanks to the quality of instruction of the choir teachers Dr. C. and Dr. W. They held weekly conducting lessons, and gave me about 5 minutes each day in rehearsal to work with the choirs. This kind of immersion is unheard of and unequaled by any other institution. I was also asked to compose a piece for the men's choir and teach it to them as well as deliver a performance of it at the state choir ACDA convention. This kind of hands on experience for students is exactly what UVU is known for. In every department, not just in music, there are opportunities available to students where they can become engaged with the school, community, and their passions. UVU's motto is "engaged learning," and I have definitely been a benefactor of this attitude. I would recommend UVU to anyone who wants to go to a college where students really do get to be in the driver's seat!

Utah Valley University was an amazing school. Even though it is one of the largest public schools in the state, somehow the class sizes were small and intimate. My professors were helpful and knowledgeable. I never felt that I was wasting my money or that I was missing out on a more enriching experience. While at UVU, I decided to participate in the Education program, which I feel was one of the better decisions of my life. The ed program at UVU is outstanding. My professors were so knowledgeable... Read More about their content area and really had great advice and insight to help me become the best teacher I could be. I felt very prepared when I went to interview for jobs and when I officially entered the classroom for the first time. Specifically, the classroom management and creating assessment classes were spot on. I felt very prepared and ready to take on education when I left UVU. I also have several colleges who graduated from UVU and they have expressed the same feelings.

As like many of you, before deciding on Utah Valley University and settling down to finish my degree, I attended four other schools within the state of Utah. Utah Valley University is a wonderful university. I have many university experiences that I can compare it with, but the feeling here was simply different. Class sizes were rarely more than 25 students, which allowed an extremely personal relationship with the professors. I didn't feel like the hidden student in the classroom, and overall this... Read More helped me perform better. It is much easier to go under the radar, but the problem is that you don't have anyone to hold you accountable besides yourself. Every teacher I had, with the exception of a few, had been part of the industry before they ever became a professor. This is extremely important because they could rely on real life experiences when teaching a concepts. Often times as students, we feel that the professor is simply teaching from the book, and we could read the book and learn it on our own. The best professors I ever had put their personal touch on every subject. More than anything this helped me get an idea of what career path to choose after college. I received an understanding for what each professor went through to get where they were at that point in their life. The classroom atmosphere is the number one reason I recommend this university to every student. Of course there were activities and programs, but the main reason we should go to school is to learn. This university is for someone that is looking for an education that will stay with you for the rest of your life, and it won't feel as if college was a simple door you just had to pass through. At Utah Valley University it is a door to open, but behind it is a continuous journey and the staff is with you the entire way.
