University of Utah Top Questions

This school has amazing academics. It is one of the reasons I have chosen to go here for my bachelors. They have amazing programs, and I have only heard good things about most of the professors.

I have been impressed by the business school. The professors have taken the time to get to know me and take a personal interest in my life. One of my favorite classes so far has been my intro to accounting course because of how amazing the teacher was and how good it felt to succeed in her class. The classes that I have had have been very interactive classes in which students are commenting and participating often. I am majoring in accounting and was just recently given a unique opportunity to explore accounting jobs because of my professors. The professors that helped me get this opportunity helped me along the way and spent a lot of extra time helping me get prepared. I really like the accounting department and feel like it is preparing me to work.

I thought academics was quite good. I spend time studying and doing papers. I do ask my teachers for help when I really need it.

The freshman classes can get pretty huge, but professors that I've had are all interested in helping you if you take the time to go and ask for help. Students at the U are for the most part academically driven, and it's a stimulating place to be.

Most of my classes have been pretty big but I've never felt lost in any of them. Most of the students in my classes seem to work really hard and are focused on doing well.

Engineering Department is very good and the teachers in it are competent

Academics are excellent. To make the dean's list, students need at least a 3.5 gpa, which is .5 higher than most colleges. We study all the time and the professors are really helpful. They are all willing to meet with you outside of class if necessary.

The University of Utah is a large school that has a ton of different majors and departments to choose from. The business school, law school, and medical school are all nationally ranked. There's pretty much something for everyone. My major is mass communication with a print journalism emphasis, but I have also taken a few "technology/arts" courses and am pursuing a minor in creative writing. (By the way, the U's Creative Writing Program happens to be one of the best in the country.) While there were a few classes that were primarily lectures in an auditorium, the vast majority of my classes have had 20-35 students with a fair amount of attention from the instructor and an active dialogue in the classroom. A few of my classes were taught by adjunct professors who were still active in the newspaper industry. For example, my political reporting class was taught by the political editor at The Salt Lake Tribune, my sports reporting class was taught by the Associated Press sports reporter assigned to Salt Lake City. Not only were these professors able to convey their knowledge about their respective craft, but they have proven to be good contacts when networking for internship and job opportunities.

we are ranked pretty high, so the degrees are credible.

It rules.
