Education options in the Uintah Basin continue to grow. USU-Uintah Basin announced new options in technical education including a Bachelor of Science in Technology Systems. The new degree, approved by the Utah State Board of Regents, allows students who have received an approved 900+ hour certificate from a technical college to transfer those hours and receive 30 credits at USU towards their Associate of Applied Sciences in General Technology. Having unique “stackable” degrees thanks to collaboration with UBTech are a strength in the Uintah Basin and one that helps nontraditional students achieve their goals. “This new program allows students to get a bachelor’s degree without going the traditional route,” shares program director Trina Nye. “They can start or stop the process at any point, or leave for a few years if they need to. It’s also a great option for people who already have certificates and good jobs but who need the four-year degree to move up the pay scale or into management positions.” For more information, visit
