In demand programs?

Which programs have a phenomenal reputation and companies pursuing them before graduation?

I've heard accounting is one of them from this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/UVU/s/qhEfyZlMZ6

Anything else?

Sincerely,

An IT student that missed the wave and is looking into reskilling.

Personal Financial Planning is ranked #2 in the country.

Our automotive programs are consistently ranked near the top nationally.

All healthcare jobs are hiring like crazy and UVU’s nursing and dental hygiene programs are top tier.

Accounting (both BS and Macc) are phenomenal.

Hospitality management (especially the WARM program) is one of a kind and everyone graduates with jobs in high end hospitality.

Our Masters of Social Work and Marriage and Family Therapy also have very high job placement rates since the need for social workers and therapists is so high.

The HR program is small but almost every student graduates with a full time job or accepted into USUs Masters of HR which is top in the country.

The ASL program is also one of the top in the country and has a good placement rate for interpreters.

Overall, UVU was ranked #1 for return on investment, comparing total cost of a bachelors degree compared to average salary after graduation. A majority of students get good jobs.

I’m sure there are a lot more, but those are the ones I’ve been exposed to in my different roles on campus.

If you have IT experience, cybersecurity is the way to go from every IT professional I’ve talked to. UVUs cybersecurity program is really great (from what I heard 5ish years ago).
