What is UEPC?


The Utah Education Policy Center (UEPC) is an independent, non-partisan research center at the University of Utah. Since 1990, we have collaborated with education leaders, policymakers, and organizations in Utah and across the country to advance evidence-based solutions that strengthen systems and improve outcomes. We conduct rigorous research and evaluation and provide expert technical assistance and professional learning across early childhood, K–12, and higher education. The UEPC team translates research into actionable insights that support informed decision-making, continuous improvement, and meaningful change.
