The UVU School of Education enriches our students’ professional preparation and deepens
their understanding of the world’s diversity by offering them a variety of international
and domestic intercultural experiences. These experiences foster personal growth and
self-reflection through participatory learning relevant to the diversity in Utah and
help to enhance effective educational practice and culturally relevant pedagogy.
Many of these opportunities also meet the requirements for UVU's Global/Intercultural
Distinction. Additional information regarding the Global/Intercultural Distinction
