Utah's Higher Education on Thursday's Access Utah

hjnews.com

On Thursday’s AU we’ll explore issues in higher education with Utah State University President Stan Albrecht. We’ll also be talking to Southern Utah University President Scott Wyatt. 

How did Utah’s colleges and universities fare at the legislature? Will tuition go up? How do we make higher education more affordable to more families? What about students coming out of college with big debts? What should be the most important elements of a college education: STEM, liberal arts, career preparation? Does the future of higher education lie more online or in traditional bricks and mortar? How are Utah’s universities planning to accommodate a large group of returning LDS missionaries? Phone lines, Facebook, and email will be available to you for your questions on higher education in Utah.
