Turn your hard work into college credits at Utah Tech University. Students who complete eligible certificates from one of Utah’s technical colleges can receive up to 30 elective credits toward an associate or bachelor’s degree at Utah Tech. That means you can save time, reduce costs, and keep moving toward your goals.

Some programs may also have direct one-to-one course equivalencies (e.g. XX1010 at the technical college is equivalent to XX1110 at Utah Tech).
