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.

 If you are an out of state student you pay


instate tuition to attend Utah State
University Moab.

 You have access to world class hiking,


mountain biking, rafting, sightseeing,
motorcycling, 4-wheeling, winter cross
country skiing, and exploring.

 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.

 You get to live in one of the most spectacular locations on earth.

 USU Moab offers the following degrees in this community:

 3 pre-associate degrees
 14 bachelors
 12 masters
 1 doctorate
 6 minors
 Endorsements and Certificates

With more on the way!

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
Center

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.

ACT REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

ACT Testing in at USU-Moab


(The residual ACT exam)
Many colleges and universities use high school GPA, ACT or SAT scores, prior college GPA, and an applicant’s
age to determine if they will be admitted. If you plan to apply for financial aid, you need to be admitted to the Utah State
University. You need to take the ACT to be admitted to USU-Moab if you:

• Did not receive a composite score of 16 or higher on the ACT


• Did not receive a score of 810 or higher on the SAT
• Are under the age of 24 and did not take the ACT or SAT
• Are under the age of 24 and did not receive an admitting score on ACT or SAT
• A college student with less than 24 college credits and did not take or did not receive an admitting score on the
ACT or SAT

Utah State University Moab offers a Residual ACT. That means an applicant can take the ACT and the scores are
only used for admission purposes at Utah State University. The applicant does not have to wait until the nationally
scheduled ACT exam dates.

The ACT is a multiple choice test that covers English, math, reading, and science. The test is taken in one session
(3.5 hours). Testers can take the ACT residual test multiple times, but there is a 60 waiting period between tests.
