Omarie - 08/22/2024

It's a pretty good school, it is good environment for newcomers and it has a good reputation for the classes that are conducted during school Hours. The food is alright, it is a small campus but that is kinda expected because it is a private college.

lillie - 09/08/2020

This school is great for up and coming engineers and anyone interested in technology. The school allows students to be creative and have a sense of freedom when it comes to class projects. They offer several great programs that students can join, including the Space Program, DARPA intern program, as well as several government-sponsored programs. The campus is great and the staff knows their field of study. The small class sizes are a huge positive. The staff s very personally and they want to see everyone be successful. My major is in the Robotics and Emebbed Systems program and I am a Freshman. I love this school and I can see all my hard work paying off. I would highly recommend this school.

Kenna - 02/26/2020

The University of Advancing Technology offers a variety of ways to obtain a bachelors in the technology industry. As an online student I feel welcome at the campus when I'm able to attend and they have some amazing amenities for students that decide to stay on campus.

Francisca - 08/18/2019

I can not say a lot in my overall opinion of the school as I am just starting this fall for classes. The one thing I can say about the school is that it is different and not the same as other schools I have looked into attending. University of Advancing Technology has left an amazing overall experience when I attended their open house event. Thus, the reason behind choosing this school over the rest of the schools I have looked at.

  3. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The worst thing about UAT is the fact that you do a 4 year degree in 2.5 years which means speed up payment. This makes it really hard for me and my parents to find the money to put me through this school but its well worth it. It would be nice if they prolonged the payments a little more for those who cant come up with a ton of money really fast.

  4. Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!

    This is a small school that gives degrees in a limited number of areas related to computer technology (game development/design, network security, etc.). This means that most classes are relatively small with good student-professor ratios, and most classes are project-based which is a terrific way to learn.

  12. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    After attending UAT for a semester I've found something's to be frustrating, but the most frustrating of them all is the online shells. Unlike my high school teachers, UAT professors rely heavily on giving instruction through the web. They do it very well for the most part, but I'm so used to receiving instruction in class. I'm the type of person that second guesses themselves, so not having the teacher right in front of me for reassurance was a big deal. I wasn't quite ready for the self reliance that UAT puts on students.
