The Southern Utah University Degree Boost Badges augment any degree with training in marketable skills. The badges focus on skills that help graduates secure a first job after graduation and potentially a career in the relevant field. With strategic planning at the beginning of the degree, the badges may require no additional cost or credits for graduation. They are available for any degree-seeking SUU student to earn.

The list below includes the six (6) degree boost badges, the curriculum, the designated primary contact SUU faculty, the program that hosts the badge, and an image of the badge.
