Military Friendly

UVU is a designated “Military Friendly” school with a dedicated Military-Affiliated Student Hub which works closely with students to assist them in their educational pursuits. Cadets may be able to use their GI benefits to cover tuition expenses. 

Affordable

Tuition, fees, uniforms, and ammunition costs total approximately $6,000 for both modules. Successful completion of the academy earns cadets 18 credits that can be used as electives towards a criminal justice bachelor's degree. The low cost and time commitment make the academy a valuable career investment.

 

Career Oriented

Local police departments are announcing an average of three job openings per week. In fact, 81% of our most recent graduates already had jobs lined up before graduation. Graduation from the academy qualifies graduates to be hired by any city, county, or state law enforcement agency in Utah. In Utah County alone, more than 53% percent of the officers are graduates from UVU’s police academy.

Convenient

UVU offers the only satellite academy of Utah Peace Officer Standards and Training in Utah county. Through two modules, Special Functions Officer (SFO) and Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) graduates will become certifiable as Utah Law Enforcement officers.
