UVSC Recognized by U.S. News & World Report

U.S. News & World Report ranked Utah Valley State College fourth in the West for Top Public Comprehensive Colleges in their August 29 issue, ranking nearly 1,400 four-year accredited colleges and universities around the nation. UVSC was also listed in the third tier for comprehensive colleges in the region and listed as one of the top comprehensive colleges with Bachelor’s degrees in the West with the least debt.

“UVSC's ranking is a tremendous endorsement by our peers and colleagues from across the country on the quality of our faculty, students and programs,” said Brad Cook, vice president for academics at UVSC. “Besides getting an education that is distinctively student-centered, it is also a tremendous bargain. It is very affirming to see that other institutions recognize the

excellence that exists here.”

This is the second year UVSC has been ranked in the report under the category of least debt and acknowledged as a third tier comprehensive college. For the third year in a row, UVSC ranked number four as one of the Top Public Comprehensive Colleges in the West.
