2025-2026 General Catalog [Effective Fall 2025]

Welcome to SUU’s Online Catalog

The online catalog is the comprehensive resource for information about courses, majors, minors, and the degree programs offered at SUU. The sections of the catalog covering academic policies and graduation requirements are designed to help students navigate their journey as an undergraduate or graduate student at SUU. The My Catalog feature allows users to personalize the catalog to best suit their needs.

The keyword and advanced search function on the top left of the homepage has been designed to make it easy for users to seek out information anywhere in the catalog website. The Catalog FAQs  also contain links to sections of the catalog students most often seek. And, should anyone need to print a page from the catalog, they will see the “Print-Friendly Page” icon on the top right side of each webpage next to the Help button. Users will also be able to bookmark webpages they regularly visit in the catalog.

While SUU strives for accuracy in the 2025-2026 Catalog, the University also recognize there may still be errors. Please e-mail catalog@suu.edu with any corrections or comments.

Important Notice

The purpose of the Southern Utah University Catalog is to provide current, articulate, and accurate information about Southern Utah University to all University constituencies including faculty, staff, students, educational agencies, and administrators.

Catalogs, bulletins, course and fee schedules, etc., are not to be considered as binding contracts between Southern Utah University and students, prospective students, faculty and staff, or any other third party. The University and its divisions reserve the right at any time, without advance notice, to (a) withdraw or cancel classes, courses, and programs; (b) change fee schedules; (c) change the Academic Calendar; (d) change admission and registration requirements; (e) change the regulations and requirements governing instruction in, and graduation from, the University and its various divisions; and (f) change any other relations affecting students. Changes shall go into effect whenever the University so determines, and shall apply not only to prospective students but also to students who are degree-seeking at the time. When economic and other conditions permit, the University will attempt to provide advance notice of such changes. In particular, when an instructional program is to be withdrawn, the University will make every reasonable effort to ensure that students who are within two (2) years of completing the graduation requirements, and who are making normal progress toward the completion of those requirements, will have the opportunity to complete the program which is to be withdrawn.

SUU is an equal opportunity campus. Please read the SUU Nondiscrimination Statement.

Note: The courses contained in this catalog do not preclude or limit the University in its offerings for any semester or session, nor do they restrict the University to the time block (semester or session) represented by the approved academic calendar.

	The Print Degree Planner icon will be located in the upper right of all Programs. Clicking this icon will open a printable version of the viewed program. The form is meant to be printed and hand-written upon.
	The Add to Catalog icon will be located in the upper right corner of all Programs, Courses, Colleges, and Departments. My Catalog is a tool for users to create a personalized catalog of areas that are of particular interest to them. Click this icon to add an item to the personal catalog.

	The Print-Friendly icon allows users to print the currently viewed page. Click the icon and click the Print this Page link. If users are looking at a list of courses with hidden information behind links, they’ll be given the opportunity to open all the links so the print includes the course descriptions rather than just the course titles.
