UVU's Woodbury School of Business offers online accounting options for students who want to start or grow a career in accounting. You can earn an undergraduate certificate or an associate degree, or add a minor to your bachelor's degree. These Utah online accounting degree options are Online-Plus. Most courses are online, and a few are livestream.
UVU's program is an IMA endorsed accounting program, so our classes meet professional standards. You will learn small business accounting and QuickBooks Online with hands-on practice.
Online-PLUS programs enhance the student experience by combining online, flexible, and in-person learning formats. These programs may include online classes, live video sessions, field or clinical experiences, or a mix of these. Livestreamed sessions may have fixed times, and occasional, required on-campus activities forge stronger connections with instructors and peers. For more information, contact your Academic Advisor.

UVU Online provides a top-quality education for in-state and out-of-state students:
Fully online undergraduate students residing within the state of Utah while attending classes pay the same tuition rates as students attending in-person classes, as determined by their residency designation.
Fully online undergraduate students residing outside of the state of Utah while attending classes pay a flat tuition rate of $285 per credit.
(Must be residing within the United States. Non U.S. citizens residing internationally do not qualify for the flat tuition rate.)
UVU offers Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) to help students earn college credit for skills and knowledge they already have from work, training, or past education. This process recognizes prior learning and helps make college more affordable and accessible. Students complete an assessment to demonstrate their knowledge before credit is awarded. CPL saves time and money by matching real‑world experience to UVU college classes.
UVU's commitment to providing accessible and high-quality online education has earned it national recognition from respected publications. With a wide range of undergraduate, graduate, and certificate programs, UVU offers students the flexibility they need to pursue their educational goals wherever they are!
