THE u OF u CaMpuSThe University of Utah continues along the path of a remarkable upward trajectory, growing in both size and prominence.

The future is indeed bright at the University of Utah where an environment of inspired learning and innovative discovery is awaiting the generations to come.

uSTaR aT THE uNiVERSiTy OF uTaH The University of Utah and the Utah Science and Technology Research Initiative (USTAR -a long term, state-funded investment to strengthen Utah’s knowledge economy) have opened the doors to the Accelerator — a new 10,000-square-foot facility that promises to give budding companies the support, space and equipment needed to develop and refine their technologies and products. The Accelerator is managed by the university’s Technology Commercialization Office (TCO), which helps researchers, faculty and inventors protect their inventions and turn them into viable businesses.

STudENT ClubS aNd ORGaNizaTiONSThe University of Utah has over 200 student organizations to choose from, offering something for everyone.

Rather than the large auditorium classes so many freshmen or sophomore students take, your classes will be small and you will get to know your professors well.

“The University of Utah is my school and Global Pathways helped me to get there.

My major is accounting, and Global pathways helped me to succeed in my first year. Communicating with friends through the ESL classes was so helpful in making me comfortable with the atmosphere around me.”

“Deciding to pack my bags from India and land in Salt Lake City to earn an MBA degree at the David Eccles School of Business, University of Utah was one of the best decisions I have made in my life.

at dESb, i quickly realized that education goes beyond just classroom teachings. I worked on commercializing real University technologies, wrote real business plans, raised real money and was part of two start-up companies; doing all this while I was still pursuing my MBA was a value-add to my learning experience.

While most people say that an MBA is truly what you make out of it, at the University of Utah it was magical to see how the energetic and entrepreneurial learning ecosystem outside of classroom came together and created opportunities that helped me learn so much more. My life truly changed after this experience at the University of Utah.”
