Southern Utah University Rankings by Salary Score™

This school does not even understand the people they are servicing with their online education. I have no idea how the in person classes are, but the online teachers are completely detached from their students. You have teachers that do no understand if you're taking online classes that you are likely from a rural area, far away from the school. Yet they have zero understanding for the fact that when you're not in a big city, you don't have reliable internet. Almost failed 2 separate classes because a particular... Read More teacher wouldn't let me retake a test and then a mid term because my internet dropped 15 minutes into the exam. The same teacher pays very little attention to their class, and blatantly tell you that if you're in the online class, that you can expect to not be treated fairly. That's in his syllabus. Complete disregard for actual teaching, it's a cut and paste class that the teacher checks in on once or twice a month to tell the students he will not help them or teach them. This was in a mandatory class for this degree by the way. So if you expect to get an online degree here, I would recommend any other school. I'm am so disgusted with the emphasis on a grade and a test, and not the learning and understanding of a subject. If I fail a class solely because of my internet dropping in a test, you've failed as a teacher and institution. The two letter grades I dropped does not indicate my actual understanding of the subject, but represents the teachers stubborn and arrogant attitude.

The number one hesitation I hear from students considering (or maybe not even daring to consider) Southern Utah University is, "What is there to do in Cedar City?" This question always baffles me because even though Cedar City is a small town, and SUU is a small school compared to many Utah has to offer, I was never bored while going to school there. If you love the outdoors, southern Utah is teeming with adventures from hiking to rock climbing to caving, but even if you don't, SUU does so many activities... Read More and has so much going on that you'll most likely never feel like you should have gone to a bigger school. Activities aside though, SUU gave me an incredible education. My largest class size was 60 students in a gen ed course, and once I got into upper division classes I never had one with more than 20-30 people in it. I never had a student teacher and every professor I had knew me by name and offered me advice and professional opportunities at every turn. The campus is beautiful and there are so many ways to get involved and learn even outside the classroom. I've never regretted going to SUU for even a second. It's an amazing school and I miss it all the time.
