You can always tell when a new school year has started at Utah’s public universities and colleges by the apprehensive, sometimes confused looks on the faces of students wandering campus.
While freshmen are bombarded with information about registration, student success and involvement in campus life, they often are left with a big unanswered question: “What’s the value of a degree, and is it really worth the time and money invested?"
“As a freshman student, you come out of high school and you have all these different options. You honestly don’t know what to do,” says Leticia Rodriguez, a health administration student at Weber State University.
