Funding Sources
Utah Valley University utilizes a Planning, Budgeting, and Assessment (PBA) process to allocate new and reallocate existing resources (including tuition from enrollment growth). As part of this process, the College of Technology and Computing (T&C) continually assesses student demand in all of its programs and identifies and prioritizes initiatives for funding consideration. Given historic and projected enrollment growth, UVU anticipates additional tuition revenue from growth sufficient to support the proposed budget. Further, new base funding provided through the Engineering Initiative can be directed to support this program.
Reallocation
No reallocation is anticipated.
Impact on Existing Budgets
Since the computer engineering emphasis has been in existence since 2001, the impact on the existing budgets will be minimal once the new degree is approved. The new degree will use the existing administrative structure to support its operation.
