University of Utah Reviews

"Pros: They are very good at financially supporting their students. Everybody in my program has funding of some sort, and my particular package kept rising so it really showed how much they wanted me in the program. Cons: It's smaller then I expected but that just means more one on one attention from the faculty members."

"The university of Utah is a great place to go to school and they have a wonderful music program that I really enjoy being a part of. The U of U is really great because you have a lot of room to be creative and decide what you want to do. In the music program I am working with fantastic teachers and fellow students who I respect and care about. The university of Utah, especially the music program, has a great atmosphere that is very supportive and welcoming. I have had an amazing experience for three years and I'm looking forward to my senior year."

"The professor's in my program and amazing! They care so much about their students and really value our successes. The professor's are open to answer questions and enjoy sharing their experiences. The cons of the graduate program are the same as any other graduate program, it is expensive!! Overall I enjoy my graduate program and I am very happy I made the choice to continue my schooling career."

"I believe it is a marketable, exciting, growing field-pro. con-it is a smaller graduate program, so not a lot of people are aware of it. Health Promotion and Education- Master's of Science Program"

"The University of Utah has amazing gprofessors especially in the Sciences and Engineering. I took a few science classes and those were the classes that I learned the most in. While the classes in my major were very informative and fun, I do not remember learning much from them. And here I am graduating with a degree that I have no job skills for. Research and choose a useful degree, not the fastest option or the easiest because you could be working in a position that pays the same as a high school diploma."

"The level of knowledge from the faculty, as well as some of the students who have been in the industry, is deep and well rounded. This creates interesting, and meaningful, conversations during lectures as well as providing resources for answering any questions one might have about any course content. The location of the school in downtown Salt Lake is great providing a great view of both the mountains and the surrounding valley, it is close to outdoor recreation, and has decent public transportation options to get to campus. The campus is undergoing considerable growth in the size of most programs and the new buildings are making use of new technology to enhance campus life."

"The pros of the University of Utah Master of Social Work program are: that field work starts the first year of the program, there are not many tests, most of the work is comprehensive, professors are available and easy to work with. The cons are that tuition is expensive and there are not many scholarships available, requires lots of time, limited preparation for the licensing exam, limited class options for the first year, and lack of preparation for after school."

"The counseling psychology program is implemented by an outstanding faculty who care a great deal about their students!!"

"Great program and classes, generally great professors. Computer lab is not great."

"I have loved my time at the University of Utah. The professors within the communication disorders department are incredible and have taught me so much. I also love the clinic. You will get plenty of hours for your CCCs. The program is difficult, but I am pretty sure all SLP programs are."

"In my opinion the U is easily a top 10 school in Bioengineering. Having been to and worked for other schools before and after graduation I have been thoroughly impressed by the academic foundation the U provides it's students. Faculty are accessible, knowledgeable and friendly. Additional career tools are provided through the many innovation and entrepreneurship programs offered. Students are extremely competitive in both academia and industry or business after leaving the program. Salt Lake City is a great place as long as you are not looking for a really big city feel. There are endless things to do, especially if you like the outdoors. Diversity is much better than many think, and the U is actually very diverse as far as male to female students and faculty compared to other programs. Don't hesitate applying to the U."

"The University of Utah runs a very high-class program that I am proud to be a part of."

"The program is a great up-and-coming program with lots of potential. I am in the MHA/MBA program with utilizes the strengths of the business program and the quality of the University of Utah Health Care System to deliver excellent education. The University of Utah is also known for their exceptional entrepreneur programs which help business professionals learn to innovate and look for new opportunities. I highly recommend this program."

"Excellent location, schedule of classes is variable and fits a variety of schedules, good public transportation."

"Great school with wonderful faculty and staff that really care about the students. SLC is a good city and the surrounding area is really fun for outdoorsy types."

"This is a great educator program for those wanting to move into administration. I would strongly suggest this program to any one interested. Only con is that some of the professors are not good at using Canvas."

"Great Architecture program that is still growing and progressing each year. Some great professors that have broadened my understanding of architecture and taught me so much. I would highly recommend the program to anyone. It definitely stretches your limits of what you thought you could achieve. Great school!"

"I feel that this program does a great job of preparing future school administrators. The faculty are all very knowledgeable and willing to help out. Most of the classes were held at a satellite campus which made the educational lifestyle kind of depressing. Overall though the program is good. I currently have a 4.0 but have had to work very hard to earn it."

"The pros are that the program is very involved with the career management center and the various student groups on campus. The classes are challenging and the other graduate students are great resources for learning. The focus on group work really helps with developing the ability to work together. And there are plenty of job opportunities and internships. The competitions are great and the number of students in entrepreneurship is getting higher. The cons would be that there could be a better coordination between the student groups and a better feeling of camaraderie between the student body. Overall it is a great experience."

"Everything was amazing, only thing I wish was better was a higher focus on using technology for classwork and handouts etc."
