REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI've taken some of the most interesting classes here. The teachers are great and they are more than willing to help you. Also the class sizes are smaller so you don't get lost in the crowd.
Devon from Tempe, AZ
Even after graduation I will be excited to attend classes as an Alumi for no extra charge! The classes as small (at most 30 students), so I can easily connect with the people in my class and ask for help when I need it.
Victoria from Killeen, TX
A lot of the staff are extremely helpful, with a smaller group of students, each one is guaranteed individual attention.

Ishmail from Rockville, MD
This school is perfect for those who love technology! Everyone is so kind and helpful; going to this school is one of the best decisions I have ever made!
Joel from Tempe, AZ
UAT is an excellent college in Tempe, Arizona. Advertises themselves as a 'geek college' for gaming students. However, I am currently a technology forensics student.
Student from Johnsonville, NY
I have a few of their magazines and I know students there learn a lot, in their field of study and possibly more.
This Guy Over Here
I would have to rate the University of Advancing Technology a three in half out of five. They are however improving a lot so this rating is subject to change throughout the year.
Tico from Tempe, AZ
It is on the more expensive side, but you get a unique learning environment. Well worth the money, if you have it.
Evanne from Kennebunk, ME
Awesome school, it has some really cool labs and other tech tools. The Cyber Cave especially has some awesome features and they take you through all of them.
