Study Away Programs

Study Away programs are faculty-led experiential learning opportunities designed for SUU students and conducted within the United States. These programs take place outside the state of Utah, offer credit-bearing courses, and last at least 5 nights. They are generally run during academic breaks. Programs change from year to year, as professors take students to new locations and focus on different areas of study. Programs are announced in October. 

Faculty members wanting to propose a study away program should visit the Faculty/Staff Propose a Program page. 

Available Programs: 2024-2025
