Value in Higher Ed
A core priority for the University of Utah is to lead the nation in delivering value in higher education and medicine. The U is well positioned to lead this critical dialogue because of our success in delivering high quality, affordable education and health care through an ideal combination of quality and cost.
One U
The University of Utah aspires to advance knowledge through cross-campus collaborations that facilitate and support creative approaches to society’s biggest challenges and most pressing problems, from economic inequality to opioid addiction, health care disparities and climate change. The U is rare among its peers in the co-location of a comprehensive research university and a vibrant academic medical center, which positions it to lead scientific research and higher education innovation. The One U vision also ensures wise use of resources while maintaining value and quality.
Global Strategy
The University of Utah recognizes today’s global economy, interconnected political systems and multicultural societies require a different depth and breadth of understanding than in the past. The U strives to provide opportunities for students and faculty to engage in transformative international partnerships, teaching, research, study and service opportunities that promote intercultural competence and understanding in a 21st century world. Among other global partnerships, the U is a founding member of the Incheon Global Campus in South Korea.
