PARK CITY, Utah — For the 2026-27 school year, Utah Valley University (UVU) will offer a small selection of online concurrent enrollment (CE) courses to Park City High School students. These online courses are in addition to the in-person concurrent enrollment courses already being taught by university-approved teachers at the high school.

The classes are independent of PCHS courses, taught by UVU instructors, and follow UVU’s schedule and class deadlines. Students and parents are responsible for coursework and tests, and the courses will not be monitored by PCHS faculty and staff. They are 100% online and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis with limited class sizes.

Students will receive equivalent high school credit for the UVU CE Online courses. A course earning 3 college credits equals 1.0 high school credit. The student must have UVU’s Registrar’s Office send their official transcript to the PCHS Registrar for recording of their credit.

Students who are interested in the online UVU CE courses should consult with their PCHS school counselor before enrolling. The list of UVU Online CE courses includes a range of introductory courses from UVU.

UVU just added to their international recognition at an awards ceremony held on Feb. 6 in Barcelona, Spain. Art and Design faculty member Brandon Truscott won first place at the 2025 AI Design Awards in the Objects & Items category, an international competition recognizing excellence in artificial intelligence-driven design and creativity. The AI Design Awards draw submissions from designers, artists, and innovators around the world who are pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence in creative practice. Truscott’s award-winning work, Spider Conch Chair, stood out for its originality, craftsmanship, and innovative use of AI as a design tool, earning top recognition from an international panel of judges.

“This recognition speaks to the evolving role of artificial intelligence in contemporary design and the importance of integrating emerging technologies into creative education,” said Truscott.

Truscott teaches in UVU’s Entertainment Design program, where he emphasizes experimental design practices and the thoughtful integration of technology into artistic processes. His international recognition highlights the UVU School of the Arts’ commitment to preparing students for the future of creative industries.
