Utah and Las Vegas

Program Details

Utah and Las Vegas represent the dichotomy and breadth found in America. Ogden activities will include outdoor rec, small-town life, rural community and farming excursion, and ideal "Americana" college town life. Vegas, by contrast, will demonstrate the commerce and hustle of a large city. By comparing UNLA, Utah State, Weber State, BYU, and the University of Utah, students can learn the difference in structure and mission of universities in the US.
