Welcome
to the Prospective Student Guide
Choosing to attend college is one of the most significant decisions you
will make in your lifetime. For many students, a university or college
certificate or degree leads to jobs and careers. For all students, completing
a degree is a real accomplishment: the effort involved in working toward
college graduation brings great personal growth as well as new knowledge
and skills.
The first step in deciding to continue your education involves exploration in order to learn about your college options. Each college and university is unique in size, location, and programs offered.
The Utah Council on Secondary and Post Secondary Relations and the Utah Higher Education Assistance Authority have compiled this website to help you determine which school is the best fit for you. You will find a wealth of information on 10 public and three private colleges and universities as well as the steps you will need to take as you apply for admissions and for financial aid. For additional information, use the phone numbers and website addresses you find in the school profiles.
I invite you to explore your choices thoroughly. Education is the key to many doors, and education will enrich your life no matter where your choices take you. Good luck on your journey.
Sincerely,
Richard E. Kendell
Commissioner of Higher Education
Utah System of Higher Education
