Academics

The academic rigor at SUU is fairly strong considering its 8,000 student count. It's strong in many undergraduate programs, especially the arts. SUU also hosts many graduate programs if your education would take you there.

I'm only a freshman so I'm not quite taking extremely hard courses yet, but the ones I am taking are about as hard as a good Advanced Placement class in high school. The professors learn your name and do care about you. Even if you aren't interested in the subject you will be able to take so much information out of the class that will relate to many other areas of your life.

suu challenges students at the same level as other, larger schools. you will be challenged academically but they will give you every opportunity to succeed and do your best. communicate with your professors, go to learning labs, create study groups, and you will do well academically.

suu has many excellent departments. the theatre department is unbeatable due to cedar city's local shakespearean festival. the nursing program has also grown so much and has had a 100% pass rate on the nclex state boards 3 semesters out of 4.
