    I am an online student currently attending this university. The professors are very helpful and respond quickly. The online programs have many different people in it. Some of the students have just finished high school, and some have already been in an industry for many years and are looking to earn another degree. Regardless of how you start out, the classes feel accessible to everyone, and anyone can learn knowledge in the courses. The professors are very knowledgeable on the subject matters that they teach. The subject matters seems up-to-date, which is a necessity as this school primarily has technology based majors and technology can change fairly quickly. I would highly recommend this university for anyone interested in working in a technology field.

    This is such a great school for those seeking a degree in the technological field. UAT makes sure that they help their students in every way possible, even after graduation. You can go back and audit classes, get help on your resume, and even get help in earning a job. A wonderful place filled with wonderful opportunities and community.
    This is a great school for introverts to have a better social life. This is a really geeky school where video games, fandom, and technology all run free. They school has many events where you can come out and meet your fellow peers and make friends. They also have plenty of clubs, the coolest of which being Nerf Wars club. Where students run around the main corridor for two to three hours shooting at each other with foam darts. Overall its a great place to further your education as well as make some friends.
