The University of Utah is a tier-one research university uniquely situated to offer both unmatched outdoor and exciting urban experiences. While mountain vistas are only a few steps away and vast red-rock desert landscapes are within reach of a scenic afternoon drive, our campus also happens to be located in Salt Lake City, one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing — economically and culturally — metropolises in the U.S.

The university is the state’s flagship institution of higher learning and serves over 32,000 students from across the U.S. and the world. With over 72 major subjects at the undergraduate level and more than 90 major fields of study at the graduate level, including law and medicine, the university prepares students to live and compete in the global workplace.

In Sept 2023 the Wall Street Journal released its latest round of rankings of U.S. universities this week, placing the U at No. 8 among public schools. Overall, the university ranked No. 43 nationally.

The new rankings—the College Pulse 2024 Best Colleges—focus on university outcomes: the price of attendance, on-time graduation rates, how much graduates earn at their jobs and student experiences on campus, including food, housing, social life and diversity.
