What Students Are Saying
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 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
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.
