In 1979, Dr. Manuel P. Berriozabal, a professor of mathematics at the University of Texas at San Antonio, founded the Pre-Freshman Engineering Program (PREP), to identify high achieving middle and high school students with the potential and interest in becoming scientists and engineers.
七年后，PREP扩展到德克萨斯州，并被称为TexPREP。 The program has successfully developed into a nationally recognized organization known as PREP USA. Following the curriculum of PREP USA, 犹他谷大学 introduced UVU预科 in June 2013.
