Josh Harrison’s Education

• Utah Valley State College

  Bachelor of Science, Information Systems, Computer Science, Web Administration, 1999 — 2005

  UVSC was a great school for me to attend. I often wish I didn't have to work full-time while attending, but I eventually completed my degree. I majored in Information Systems, but the degree was much more computer science oriented than business oriented.
