utah career college credits are not transferable to a legitimate univeristy. it is highly recommended not to attend this school for several reasons. 1. most courses they offer are still not accredited. 2. even the courses that are accredited are not recognized by real universities and therefore the credits you earn are worthless outside of utah career college. 3. many of the teachers involved in the programs are underqualified and not licensed to teach or have no experience teaching. 4. compared to normal school fees at a real university, utah career college has extremely high prices, most courses cost around $30,000 for only two years of questionable education. even after a grant for money the schooling is still around the $20,000 mark upon graduation. 5. over the years, utah career college has been raising school fees for students often times halfway through the course so students are left with the difficult decision of finishing the course with more debt or leaving the school with no degree but still large amounts of debt to pay.
