Undergraduate Students

At Utah Valley University, college becomes a pathway to options. Whatever your aspirations, we are here to help you make the most of them.

UVU is test-optional, which means you do not need an ACT or SAT score to be admitted. However, one of these test scores is required for merit-based scholarships.

  • When I first toured UVU, I knew I’d be leaving my parents, and I wanted to find a place that felt like home. As I walked through campus I felt at home and realized, ‘I belong here.’ My advisors were interested in my education path and helped me to find my way. One of the best things about UVU is that it’s not ‘everybody’s education’, it’s ‘your education.’”
