"I have always been a serious student, but have never been challenged to the extent I am being challenged now. It is sometimes fun to see people's reaction when I tell them I am reading War & Peace, and must be finished by Christmas. I am very glad I am reading it, and the other books here. The campus may be small, but the requirements are large."
-Cassie Minert, Freshman
Woods Cross, Utah

Each undergraduate student must complete a minimum of three field-experience events, for a total of 6 credit hours, in order to graduate.
