The U of U Campus
Academic Excellence
The University of Utah continues along the path of a remarkable
upward trajectory, growing in both size and prominence. It
leads the nation in technology transfer endeavors due in large
part to the Utah Science Technology and Research Initiative
(USTAR). In 2011, the University furthered its mission of
excellence by joining the Pac-12, one of the country’s most
prestigious conferences—both athletically and academically.
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.
The University of Utah is known around the globe as a place
where great innovation happens. We are recognized for being
a national leader for starting new technology companies from
university research, the home to Nobel Prize winner Mario
Capecchi and an industry pioneer in video-game design —
innovation and creativity are part of our culture.
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-squarefoot 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 Organizations
The University of Utah has over 200 student organizations to
choose from, offering something for everyone. There are many
benefits to joining a student organization: making new friends,
developing new skills and abilities, working as part of a team,
learning to set and achieve goals, sharing your time and
talents, as well as having fun. To view a list of student groups
visit http://www.asuu.utah.edu/groups.
“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.”
Bader Alharbi, Saudi Arabia, Pre-Computer Science, GP
Summer 2011
Innovation Scholar program
The Innovation Scholar program helps harness the power
of innovation. Through a personalized road map, students
explore solutions to big problems and make big ideas happen
in an area of unique interest to each student. Students get
recognized at graduation and on their academic transcript
as being an “Innovation Scholar”. Students can share their
innovation portfolio with future employers, graduate schools
and community leaders. Make an impact!
Honors College
The Honors College provides talented students with an
enhanced undergraduate experience through a number of
opportunities. Honors students typically enroll in one or two
Honors classes each semester during their first two years. This
will put you in contact with other students who set high goals
for themselves, like to be challenged and are highly motivated.
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.
UROP
Athletics and Recreation
The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP)
provides undergraduate students and faculty members the
opportunity to work together on research or creative projects.
UROP provides assistantships up to $1200 for any first-time
UROP student who assists with a faculty member’s research
or creative project, or who carries out a project of her/his own
under the supervision of a faculty member.
The University has 18 varsity teams in National College Athletic
Association (NCAA) Division 1 sports. The University of Utah’s
academic excellence and athletic profile makes it a great fit for
the “Pac-12 Conference”.

“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.”
