It’s all there. In your head. The ideas have been there long enough. It’s time to let them out
and make them grow. If you only had the resources, the know-how, the support.
It’s all here. Between a bustling metropolis and mountain peaks sits your starting point.
Welcome to the place where ideas meet reality. WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH.
4. D ISCOVER U TAH
Utah offers an incredible landscape for adventure and discovery. Seven world-renowned ski resorts, including the largest in the U.S., are just a short
ride from campus. Utah is also home to five stunning national parks that attract tourists from around the globe, as well as students from the U’s
Outdoor Adventures program, which provides equipment rentals and planned trips to some of Utah’s most remarkable destinations.
Nicknamed the“Silicon Slopes,”Utah is home to industry leading tech companies like Adobe, eBay, Overstock.com, IM Flash Technologies, Ancestry.com,
and Qualtrics. Like so many others, you may come for a quality education only to find yourself staying for your dream job. And the mountains. And the
night life. And the 222 days of sunshine. And the stable economy. And the greatest snow on Earth. utah.com
Imagine more than a college town. Imagine a full-fledged college city.
Only a few minutes from the campus of the University of Utah, Salt Lake City is a place of amazing growth,
culture, and excitement. From professional sporting events and arts festivals
to world-class shopping and Broadway theatre acts, there’s always something going on.
And with bus routes and a light rail system weaving through campus,
students are always connected to the action.

6. LEARN FRO M TH E BEST
Our professors are knowledge generators, constantly pushing the limits of their fields of study, then bringing new knowledge back to their
classrooms. Their contributions are the main reason the University of Utah received more than $285 million in research funding in 2014. Of our
full-time professors, 83.7% have the highest degree attainable in their field, with numerous special awards and recognitions to boot. More course
offerings are now available online, providing flexible options to complete your studies at uonline.utah.edu. And the best part? Our 17:1 student-
to-faculty ratio means they actually have time for you. admissions.utah.edu/academics

7. UNDERGR ADUATE RESEARCH
Of the more than 3,000 four-year universities in the U.S., only 108 land in the Carnegie Classification’s top tier for research activity. The U is one of
them, thanks in large measure to the number of undergraduate students participating in our research initiatives. This means that as early as your
first year of study, you can get involved in research opportunities that would normally be reserved for graduate students elsewhere. In doing
so, you’ll familiarize yourself with the research process, expand your network of knowledgeable faculty and fellow students, and gain valuable
experience that prepares you for future careers and/or graduate school. Check out the undergraduate research opportunities that are currently
available at our.utah.edu/opportunities.
THE HONORS COLLEGE
The honors bachelor’s degree is the highest undergraduate degree conferred by the University of Utah. Grounded in the liberal arts and sciences,
the Honors College searches for students who embrace challenge and have a thirst to explore new perspectives. As an honors student, you’ll
develop next-level writing, critical thinking, and problem solving skills through rigorous course work that eventually culminates in a thesis or
capstone project. Add to that a competitive admissions process, and that the honors degree is only awarded to student with a 3.5 or above, and
it’s no wonder many honors grads go on to top-tier graduate programs and careers. honors.utah.edu

Location was one of the main reasons I decided on the U. Salt Lake is pretty much an ideal city, in that it is large
enough to be interesting/fun and yet small enough not to be oppressive.
I compete on the U’s nationally ranked Pistol Marksmanship team, and was able to attend the Intercollegiate
National Championship in Ft. Benning, Georgia. I have also been involved with the Robotics Team for several
years, and I was able to compete with our robots at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston. It is refreshing
to take a break from your major, and the U is large and diverse enough that there is something for everyone.

9. BRING YO U R U NIQ U ENESS
An openness to and appreciation of differences—in aspects like thought, experience, belief,
heritage—creates an environment of inclusion. To feel included raises confidence. Confidence
encourages expression. Expression leads to ideas. More ideas mean more solutions for a better world.
Bring your uniqueness to the University of Utah.

are paired with a veteran. The U students and volunteers involved with Labs for Liberty are like a second
family for us and make being away from home for college much easier.

The transition from high school to college can be a lot like jumping into a pool. Many fear the initial plunge so much that they only dip
their toes in, never fully immersing themselves in the college experience. Don’t let that be you. Instead, dive right in by being engaged in and
out of the classroom.

2. J O IN A LEARNING CO MMUNIT Y
Learning Communities (LCs) group students with similar interests together to foster innovation, academic excellence, and friendship. Some follow a
cohort model, where you take your first year of courses with the same group of students. If you’re looking for support with making friends, or keeping
up with the academic rigor of university life, a learning community or other academic enrichment program may be right for you.
studentsuccess.utah.edu
Imagine engaged learning that will prepare you for your future.
And change it.
In 2012, shortly after being named the 15th president of the University of Utah,
David W. Pershing promised every student
“the opportunity to have at least one
deep engagement experience.”
Well, President Pershing has delivered in a big way.
The ways you can customize your educational experiences are almost endless.
Here are just four of the ways you can create your own signature experience at the U.

engagement. bennioncenter.org

C H E M I S T R Y P R O F E S S O R
I joined the faculty at Utah because of the excellent research reputation of the Department of Chemistry,
but I’ve stayed for 30 years because of the great students I teach.
I strive to bring the thrill of scientific discovery into the classroom whether teaching at the first-year or
graduate level. Ultimately success in this endeavor is measured by the accomplishments of students.
I have shared the Nobel Laureate Signature Award in Graduate Education with a former Ph.D. student,
and former undergraduate research students in my lab have gone on to graduate and professional study
at the top institutions in the country.
Utah is indeed “The Place” to combine rigorous research and study with the great outdoors. Be an
aggressive student to take advantage of the diverse opportunities beyond the formal classroom on campus.

16. MENTO RSH IP
Do you have a great idea for a business, but don’t know where to start? Are you interested in creating social change, but don’t know who to talk to?
Have you dreamed of making a scientific discovery, but lack connections and resources?
What you need is a mentor. Someone who has been there before and taken their idea from conception to completion. Lucky for you, the U is full of them.
The U student experience is a series of personalized learning opportunities that take you from the ground floor to the top. Whether you are in the
lab with a professor, working alongside upperclassmen in the community, or taking advantage of the hundreds of programs in place to enhance
your academic experience, you can forge lasting relationships with (and get real help from) someone at the cutting edge of your field of study.

school in the U.S. to have produced a Truman Scholar in seven of the past nine years. hinckley.utah.edu

YOU LIVE. YOU LEARN.
What if you could guarantee that you and your housemates will have at least one thing in common? That’s just one of the benefits of Living Learning
Communities (LLCs). LLCs are on-campus housing communities that bring like-minded students together to live and learn. Each community is based
on an academic or community-based theme. Examples include the Crocker Science House, the Outdoor Leadership Floor, and the First-year Honors
Community housing.utah.edu/options/living-learning-communities.

25. Investing in yourself through education is one of the most cost-effective decisions you will ever make. If you have a bachelor’s degree, you can earn
double the amount you would earn if you only had your high school diploma. The cost of attendance (COA) below is an estimate of what it would
cost to attend the U. The COA covers more than tuition — it also includes your basic living expenses. Your financial aid award package offered to you
in Spring 2017 will have options to assist with covering the COA. admissions.utah.edu/cost
ESTIMATED 2016-17 ACADEMIC YEAR COST OF ATTENDANCE
Based on 26 credit hours — 13 each Fall and Spring semesters.
All costs are subject to change without notice and are expected to increase annually. The Cost of Attendance is based on estimated figures and may not accurately reflect an individual students costs. The combination of the direct and indirect
costs will be used to determine financial aid. *Please note, this rate is based on reported average costs for all undergraduate students at the U. Freshman costs may be up to $2-3K less, due to lower freshman housing fees. Estimated costs may
vary based on room type and meal plan selection. **Miscellaneous costs include things like medical expenses, clothing, haircuts, telephone, and other utilities, etc. §Fees associated with student loan borrowing have been accounted for in the
total budget for both Residents and Non-residents. Loan fees will vary.
