Can I take classes online or hybrid?
Yes! You can complete your degree fully online. If you're local to campus, you also have the option to attend online while coming to campus as needed for certain activities, events, or to use campus resources.

How flexible are class schedules?
Our class schedules are designed to be flexible for students balancing work and other responsibilities. While we do our best to accommodate your schedule, course availability each semester may impact the specific days and times your classes are offered.

Can I work while attending UAT?
Absolutely! Many of our students work while earning their degree. Our flexible course formats help students balance school, work, and personal commitments.

Do you support transfer students?
Yes! We welcome transfer students and will evaluate your previously earned college credits to determine what may transfer into your degree program.

Does my UAT degree say "online" if I attend classes online?
No. Your diploma does not indicate whether you completed your degree online or on campus. It reflects the degree you earned, regardless of the course delivery format.

Does UAT provide computers for online students?
No. UAT does not provide computers for online students. Students are responsible for having a computer that meets the technical requirements for their program.

How are classes hands-on if they're online?
Even in the online format, UAT courses are highly hands-on and project-based. Instead of simply reading textbooks or watching lectures, you'll complete real-world assignments, labs, coding projects, designs, simulations, research, and portfolio-building work using industry-standard software and tools. You'll collaborate with classmates, receive feedback from faculty, and build practical skills that prepare you for your future career.
