Helpful Information

While most advanced Health Professions courses are unavailable to exchange students, a selection of lower-level introductory courses may be open. Graduate (Master's) students are accepted on a case-by-case basis; please note that those accepted will be responsible for paying differential tuition. Most exchange students choose to live in our on-campus housing, but many quality off-campus options are also available nearby. All students will receive a UTA transit pass, providing free use of local buses and the regional train service between Ogden and Provo.

Location Information

Our main campus is easily accessible, located just 10–15 minutes from I-15. While there are numerous routes, a common path is taking the 31st Street exit, heading east onto 31st Street, turning right on Wall Avenue, then left onto 36th Street. Continue east up the mountain to Harrison Blvd, turn right, and WSU will appear beautifully situated on your left.
