graduate degree options (along with 55 minors and certificates, over 50
teaching majors, and 96 graduate degrees), you’ll have plenty of room and
opportunity to create a truly memorable experience and prepare yourself
for the rest of your life.
The best universities always deliver more than a piece of paper and the
skill to get a job offer. Expansive and rigorous, they teach students how to
learn, how to push for perfection, and, eventually, how to reach beyond
oneself to a broader community. At the University of Utah we educate
students from around the world to become thinking professionals and
thoughtful people. We believe students should leave the U with the ability
to sustain a meaningful life and to contribute to the lives of others.
This booklet is intended as a roadmap of sorts, helping you
navigate the path that leads to the University of Utah.
So, read on — then we look forward to
seeing you at the U!
