University of Utah and Salt Lake Community College Expand Access to Higher Education

HERRIMAN — The University of Utah and Salt Lake Community College are taking steps to expand access to higher education through the opening of a new building at SLCC's Herriman Campus.

Students will be able to earn an associate's degree at SLCC and transfer their credits to the U., where they can earn a bachelor's degree, all under one roof. The new 88-acre campus will be home to over 2,000 students — with projections that it will serve around 7,000 students by 2025 — after opening Aug. 22, according to a release from SLCC.

Following their associate's degree, students will be able to have a seamless transition to the U. — where they will be able to earn a bachelor's degree in business, economics, education, psychology, general social and behavioral sciences and family and human studies — at the same location.
