The vocational classes, scattered throughout Utah and Wasatch counties, were centralized in mid-1941 under Central Utah Vocational School. Following the war, only the dogged determination of its administrators and school district officials kept the school from dissolution, and it became a permanent state-supported institution in 1947. In 1963, to reflect its evolving status and mission, Central Utah Vocational School became the Utah Trade Technical Institute at Provo. In 1967, the school was named the Utah Trade Technical College at Provo. By 1987, it became Utah Valley Community College, and by 1993 it had evolved into Utah Valley State College.
