Utah Valley University has a long tradition of offering quality education at different levels and in a variety of disciplines, combining the environment of a community college with that of a four year institution offering advanced degrees for dynamic industries. With an enrollment of more than 24,000 students, UVU is the 3rd largest state college in Utah and the 8th fastest growing institution in the nation. Our student body represents all 50 states and 78 foreign countries. For the third year in a row, US News and World Report ranked UVSC as the 4th Best Comprehensive Public Undergraduate College in the West. The continued expansion of our Bachelors degree programs will inevitably lead to a proportionate increase in graduate and health professional school applicants and matriculants to match our current successes in these areas.
