A Letter from USU Moab’s Director
Dr. Sam Sturman
Technology is letting students attend
colleges from nearly every location imaginable.
So why would a student want to earn a degree
living in Moab? To me that is obvious:
location, location, and location.
Students have access to two national parks along with thousands of square miles
of public lands to explore. That is why I have chosen to work in Moab: location,
location, and location.
3 pre-associate degrees
14 bachelors
12 masters
1 doctorate
6 minors
Endorsements and Certificates
If you love the out of doors then USU Moab is your only choice. I hope this
packet will help you become a student attending Utah Stat University at the Moab

Conquering General Education
Requirements
Colleges and Universities require a common core of classes be completed
by freshman and sophomore students. These classes are referred to as general
education requirements or ‘gen ed’ for short. College students have to take:
Writing Humanities
Intermediate Writing & Research Creative Arts
Statistics Physical Science
College Algebra Social Science
American Government Computers
Life Science
General Education requires: 30 – 33 hours of specific courses
Associate of Science (Electives 30 hours)
Or
Associate of Arts (Elective of 20 credits)
and language of 10 hours
Do my credits transfer to other schools if I transfer? That is why it is so
important to talk to your advisor about planning your schedule. It is easy to take
a lot of interesting classes, but when you actually want to apply them towards a
degree they may not meet degree requirements. Talk to the advisor at the school
you are attending. Stick with the general education core classes if you are just
starting out in college and planning to transfer the credit to another institution.
USU Moab Advising
It is essential that you meet with an advisor to help you schedule appropriate classes towards meeting your
educational goals. Whether you are a traditional, non-traditional or high school concurrent student, advising
now can help prevent scheduling problems as you draw closer toward completing your degree.
