It became a state institution in 1945, and in 1953 the name was changed to the Utah Trade and Technical Institute. In 2008, Utah Valley State College became Utah Valley University. Utah Valley now enrolls over 24,000 students and is ranked among the top five comprehensive public universities in the West by U.S. News & World Report.
