Welcome to THE RADAR
With ever-improving online course offerings, UVU Online Aviation is committed to your success. Every aspect of each course we create is designed to enhance student learning. It's not about students being told what to know, but about building knowledge in an environment where information is presented in a clear and concise manner.
Assignments and assessments are designed specifically to help you meet the course objectives and focus on application of principles rather than topical review. Technology is used as a tool to enhance the instruction and keep you engaged in the content. You will find our courses to be not only convenient, but also of high quality.
Please feel free to let us know if you have any suggestions for improvement.
Thank you,
UVU Instructional Design Team

Accreditation is Crucial!
If you were going to pay for guitar lessons, would you want to make sure that your teacher was worth the money?
Did you know that your education is accredited? How much does that even matter? Accreditation ensures that institutions of higher education meet acceptable levels of quality. There are several important aspects found in accredited colleges that aren’t found elsewhere. Financial aid, transfer credits, and future employment are greatly affected, and in many cases not even an option, when attending a school that is not accredited.
