Utah Tech works in collaboration with third-party providers to offer study abroad programs around the world. These programs vary in length from a summer, semester, or an entire year. Classes typically take place at a foreign university or an academic center administered by the provider. Before departure, you will work in conjunction with the Study Abroad Office and the third- party provider to choose classes that will directly transfer to your Utah Tech degree.
