Utah Valley University Utah Valley University
It started as a series of vocational courses taught on the south side of Provo, UT in 1941 as the Central Utah Vocational School.  A campus was built in Provo, which was ultimately completed in 1963 when the name was officially changed to Utah Trade Technical Institute.  Four years later, the name was changed again to Utah Technical College at Provo when the state authorized it to offer associates degrees.  The continued growth of the institution prompted the move to its present location in Orem in 1977.  In 1987, the name was changed yet again to Utah Valley Community College to reflect is broader course offerings.

The name was changed to Utah Valley State College in 1993, when the institution began offering baccalaureate degrees... and was changed again to Utah Valley University in July 2008. The first president of the University is Matthew S. Holland.

UVU remains one of the fastest growing institutions of higher education in the country.
