Uintah Basin Technical College announced this week new educational opportunities starting with a new partnership with Utah Valley University located in Orem. The UBTech press release explains that “additional higher education opportunities for UBTech students will be through course-to-course articulation agreements, which broadens a student’s ability to continue their educational pursuit with a degree granting institution in the State of Utah. Articulation agreements create a seamless pathway from one school to another.” For the agreement with UVU, UBTech students will be able to transfer agreed upon coursework from UBTech for credit at UVU. The agreements with UVU will coordinate specifically with the following departments: Automotive Technology, Cabinetry, Civil Drafting Technician, Construction, Heavy Duty Diesel, and Information Technology Courses. The press release further explains that similar to the existing stackable agreements with Utah State University, UVU will also accept transfer credit from a UBTech 900+ hour certificate. Students can earn 30 credits toward UVU’s Associate of Applied Science in Technology or a Bachelor of Science in Technology Management. “We are happy to announce additional educational pathways for UBTech students,” said UBTech President, Aaron K. Weight. “Our goal is to provide students with an understanding of all educational opportunities available to them in the State of Utah. We desire students to be successful no matter their career aspiration or educational pursuit.” Read the entire announcement at ubtech.edu.
