The Emergency Services programs at Utah Valley University are accredited by the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC). The initial accreditation was granted in 2004. An IFSAC accredited program indicates that course offerings, institutional support, and qualified faculty are working together in completing their educational mission.
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.

"The closeness is very uncommon in these types of programs and it’s really something that’s unique about UVU. That culture comes from the top down, and it never goes away.” - Mat Goebel, M.D.
