This wide variety of different academic pursuits is what contributes to the intellectual energy encountered on campus.

Over 100 undergraduate and 90 graduate degree programs are offered by the university to empower, transform and launch students into a promising future. These range from the history of art to computer engineering, entrepreneurship, communication in fitness, studies in leadership, sociology, and urban ecology. The MUSE Project is an opportunity to connect with inspirational individuals and resources, which helps students create a customized educational experience.

The University offers various internships, study abroad programs in over 50 countries, and research opportunities designed to carry college experience outside the classroom for students. From the Lowell Bennison Community Service Center to the Mighty Utah Student Section (MUSS), there are more than 600 academic, social and athletic organizations on campus, cheering on the university's Pac-12 athletic teams. Dozens of weekly programs and gatherings are organized by schools, departments, clubs and groups each week. The arts are abundant and diverse at the University of Utah as they are available. There are hundreds of plays, performances, exhibitions, concerts, film screenings and opportunities to engage with local and foreign artists each year among the five academic units in the College of Fine Arts and the three professional arts organizations.

In a wide valley surrounded by the Wasatch Range of the Rocky Mountains to the east and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west, Salt Lake City lies. The Wasatch Mountains give students a network of hiking, biking, and running trails a few minutes from campus. Salt Lake, a beautifully livable community, blends the facilities of a major metropolitan area with a small town's ease. The symphony, ballet, theatres and movie scenes in Salt Lake delight viewers year-round. Hockey, baseball, and professional basketball thrill sports fans. The International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) Scholarship recognizes campus and community engagement among international students and scholars from a diverse set of cultures. Scholarship recipients represent outstanding contributors who may have extenuating circumstances that require financial need, and yet have strong academic performance and make time to participate in the community with a goal of serving others and promoting engagement in co-curricular activities during their time at the University of Utah.  Read less
