SUU Ranked 2nd Best Public University In Utah By Publication

SUU Marketing

Southern Utah University has been ranked among the seven Best Colleges in Utah for 2017 from College Choice, a leading authority in college and university rankings and resources. SUU was listed as the second best public school in Utah, edging out all other public institutions except the University of Utah.

College Choice lists three criteria: institutional excellence, return on investment, and student satisfaction.  SUU’s ranking as Utah’s second best public institution is a reflection of quality of the overall educational experience says Dr. Scott Wyatt, President of SUU.

Wyatt-Grad Rate Cut: “We don’t reach a goal of having a great graduation rate unless students are happy, learning, engaged and wanting to come back.  So as we look at all of the regional universities in the eight intermountain-west states, we have a substantially higher graduation rate than any of them—like fifty-percent higher…”

SUU enrollment has reached over 9-thousand students this fall.
