College of Health
Redefining the Human Healthspan
The University of Utah’s College of Health is leading the transformation in health care from primarily caring for the sick to empowering people to be healthy, active, and resilient through proactive, preventive, and rehabilitative care. Through innovative research and by preparing the next generation of practitioners, the college is on a mission to add more years to our life and MORE LIFE to those years.
The College of Health has a wide range of programs in fields like communication sciences, nutrition, physical therapy, and more. With a focus on interprofessional education and practice, students learn how to collaborate across disciplines to provide patient and community centered care.
Is the U for You?
In Utah you can truly have it all. Salt Lake City and the surrounding areas offer new comers a variety of neighborhoods, great schools, arts and entertainment, and endless possibilities for sports and recreation. A strong economy and low cost of living make Utah a perfect choice to call home.
Breathtaking beauty, unparalleled collaboration, remarkable facilities, and visionary leadership were just a few of the reasons we thought of before coming up with a different question: Why not Utah?
