Welcome from the Provost

University of Advancing Technology (UAT) has a long lineage of graduating bright, driven students who make a difference in the world with technology. As the Provost of UAT, I’m so excited that your child is considering joining the ranks of today’s and tomorrow’s advancing technology innovators.

At UAT, your child will receive a well-rounded technology education focused on learning how to think and how to work collaboratively. While here, they will grow to possess a deep and comprehensive understanding of advancing technology; not just how to best work with contemporary technology, but how to adapt and utilize technology as it advances and transforms.

The University is a great place for young adults to flourish and come into their own. Each individual is different, and we support every unique ability and quirk our students have. As a tight-knit University, we all take care of each other and propel each other forward to leave our digital prints on the world. Our safe and interactive campus provides many opportunities for developing new interests, enhancing existing interests, and expanding and building friendships that will continue for years to come. Students are challenged to expand their horizons with new perspectives and to learn and grow from a values-oriented environment—all on the edge of advancing technology.

We’re dedicated to your student’s success. That dedication is reflected in the quality of teaching, proactive and thoughtful approach to advising, and one-on-one mentorship. Through this, all students will be prepared to create, innovate, and provide leadership in their chosen fields.

Financial
Aid

UAT is a small, private technology university that develops skills far beyond ordinary colleges, but it is also surprisingly affordable, more so than most private colleges or out-of-state tuition at state schools. The University makes every attempt to ensure that all qualified students can attend with the help of financial aid, scholarships and grants.

UAT understands how important financial aid is to the majority of our students, and we are aware that every family situation is different. Our Admissions Advisors will help you explore your options.

Scholarships Your Student Can Earn From UAT

As an institution, we work hard to ensure that a UAT education represents a clearly affordable alternative when compared to many other private four-year colleges or to the cost of out-of-state tuition at a public college.

In addition to financial aid resources, UAT seeks to award scholarships to on-campus, undergraduate students who have shown success or strong academic potential. Scholarship amounts vary and range, with the maximum range applied over eight semesters, and are determined at application for admission. Scholarships are for undergraduate and on-campus students only, with the exception of the Continuation Scholarship. For all current information regarding UAT scholarships and financial aid, please see the UAT Catalog.

The College
Experience

The College Experience — Why AZ?

Understandably, every parent has mixed emotions about their child going away to college. The college experience marks the beginning of real independence that can take a while to get used to. You’ve done your best to influence their values, habits, morals, ethics, manners and more. Now it’s time to mold their clay into a professional whose gifts and interests are aligned with their greatest potential.

Helping your student ensure they are a great fit is one of the biggest roles a parent plays in the college selection process. At UAT, your creator, innovator and technophile is completely supported—emotionally, academically and socially.

Located in beautiful sunny Arizona, UAT is one of the leading technology universities in the country. If your student has an undeniable passion for technology, this is the place for them. Our entire culture focuses on the value of learning and the adventure of innovating with technology.

For your student to venture beyond what is familiar offers them the opportunity to grow immeasurably and become better prepared for their advancing technology career… and life. Plus, they will enjoy the thrill of discovery along the way as they experience personal growth with new perspectives, expand their horizons, make new friends and put their digital print on the world to make a difference with technology.
