On the sixth day of Techmas, we’re spotlighting the six-degree suites at University of Advancing Technology (UAT). These distinct yet interconnected areas of study define the innovative, hands-on educational experience that sets UAT apart. With a focus on preparing students for the careers of tomorrow, each suite is tailored to explore cutting-edge technologies, foster creativity, and develop expertise in fast-growing industries.
For Hope Thoms, the Student Innovation Project (SIP) was a chance to create change for women in STEM as well as an opportunity to honor the memory of a beloved family member.
We’re excited to share that University of Advancing Technology (UAT) has been ranked the #2 College in Arizona for Game Design Degrees by Animation Career Review for 2024! This recognition highlights our commitment to providing top-notch education and hands-on experience in Game Studies.

For students at the University of Advancing Technology (UAT), completing their Student Innovation Project (SIP) is the culmination of their hard work and dedication to their degree program. These projects are not only exciting for the students, but also to their professors who witness their progression and development.
When students leave UAT, they typically aren't heading out to search for an entry-level opportunity. Our grads have invested their time here creating and innovating (on their own and through internships) to such a degree that a great job or entrepreneurship venture is a natural next step.
Organized by Adam Moore, the jammers used Discord to communicate, form teams, and help each other out. The 2022 theme was Duality, with 16 games uploaded to UAT’s jam site at https://globalgamejam.org/2022/jam-sites/university-advancing-technology/games.
