Utah Valley State College
Formerly known as Utah Valley Community College, Utah Valley State College (UVSC) is a publicly-funded college located in Orem, Utah. Although the college has many courses of study, including an increasing number of bachelor's degree programs, it still retains many of its trade/technical school roots. UVSC is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges. Accreditation was initially granted in 1969, renewed 1984, and 1995. Vocational accreditation was also granted UVSC in 1976 and renewed in 1990 and 1995 by the Utah State Office of Vocational Education. Approximately 20,000 to 25,000 students attend UVSC each semester. UVSC students are sometimes criticized as being "BYU-rejects" or "Wannabes", because of the close proximity of UVSC to Brigham Young University in Provo. However, it should be noted that the academic freedom permitted at UVSC is substantially greater than that of nearby BYU. The school mascot is the Wolverine.
