Fiscal Highlights - November 2013

UCAT COE Standards - Angela J. Oh ( PDF)

Every year, the Utah College of Applied Technology ((UCAT) produces an annual report. The report highlights the previous year's total membership hours, student headcount (secondary and postsecondary), certificates, Custom Fit training, etc. The report includes aggregated and disaggregated data for UCAT. 

Programs offered at each of the eight UCAT campuses are accredited by the Council on Occupational Education (COE).  COE is a national accreditation agency authorized by the U.S. Department of Education; it specializes in career and technical education (CTE) institutions and programs. For FY 2012, UCAT exceeded COE's standards in three key areas:

1) completion (% of certificate seekers who completed),

2) placement (% of completers in related jobs), and

3) licensure (% of completers licensed in applicable fields). 

The table below shows the program standards and aggregated data for UCAT for FY 2012.
