Each year, colleges and universities across the nation recognize this week to celebrate transfer students—their journeys, their resilience, and the exciting new paths they carve out for themselves. Whether you’re transferring from a community college, another university, or stepping back into education after some time away, this is your week.
And if you’re exploring your next move, you’ve got a lot of options—but not all are created equal. Finding the right fit isn’t just about where you’ll finish your degree; it’s about discovering an environment where your goals, passions, and potential align.
At the University of Advancing Technology (UAT), we believe in empowering transfer students to transform their experience into an advantage. Here’s what makes UAT stand out:
At UAT, your professors don’t just know your name—they know your projects, your goals, and your potential. With small class sizes and a collaborative learning environment, our students gain direct access to mentors who’ve spent their careers in the tech industries they now teach. You’re not just another face in the crowd here; you’re part of a community where innovation thrives on personal connection.
UAT is a 100% STEM university, where every degree—whether in Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, Game Design, or Robotics—is built around technology, creativity, and real-world impact. You’ll learn by doing, tackling hands-on projects that prepare you for the tech-driven workforce of today and tomorrow.
Why wait four years to launch your career when you can do it in less? Thanks to UAT’s year-round academic calendar and project-based curriculum, most students complete their bachelor’s degrees in an average of just 2.8 years. If you’re coming in with transfer credits, your timeline could be even shorter—saving you both time and tuition.
And the flexibility doesn’t stop there: whether you prefer to learn online, on-campus in Tempe, AZ, or through a hybrid format, your pace and program structure remain the same. Every path is designed to keep you learning, creating, and graduating on schedule.
All week long, we’ll be featuring stories from transfer students who found their home at UAT. Hear firsthand how they made the transition, discovered new opportunities, and accelerated their futures through our unique approach to education.
If you’re ready to see what your next step could look like, join us for a campus tour—in person or virtually! Tours available daily at 10:30 AM, 1:30 PM, and 3:30 PM.
