Every effort is made to find adequate means of support for all students in the graduate program. Students who are accepted into the program will receive, at the time of acceptance, information regarding sources of support. The low cost of living is an attractive feature for potential graduate students. University-sponsored single and married student housing is available. In addition, students can choose from a wide variety of apartments and houses for rent near the university.
Many students rent and share small houses.
During the past 20 years, members of the Department of Psychology at the University of Utah have taken a leading role in promoting the concerns of ethnic minorities and women on campus. Since 1967, a diversity committee has been in place within the department to further awareness of minority issues and to facilitate the recruitment and retention of minority students and faculty. Ethnic minorities and women are strongly encouraged to apply for graduate study in psychology at the University of Utah . A Department scholarship program has been developed to provide financial support for minority graduate students. The University of Utah and the larger Salt Lake City metropolitan area have small, but active and visible minority populations.
