Become a leader for when emergencies happen
UVU ES stackable certificates allow you to achieve credentials and certifications incrementally on your way toward a degree. Graduate with certificates in EMT and AEMT, then choose an emphasis in emergency management, emergency medical, or fire. After completing the physical, hands-on requirements, finish your degree online while you start your career.
Meeting with advisors can help to determine the best academic path for you to reach your desired career. Advisors are willing to help you determine class schedules, answer career and educational questions, and help you find internships.
