Universal Technical Institute strongly supports education as the key to a successful future. Part of this support involves arranging strategic alliances with other institutions of higher education for students interested in continuing their education after graduation. Universal Technical Institute has developed articulation agreements with several schools around the country that make it possible for graduates to transfer some of the credits earned at Universal Technical Institute. This provides Universal Technical Institute graduates with excellent opportunities to transfer to advanced degree programs.
