Degree Boosts
Augmenting degrees with a practical skill set broadens the spectrum of jobs available to recent graduates and gives them the potential to earn a higher starting salary.
Build a Direct Path to Your Future Career
Available for any degree-seeking student to earn, the Southern Utah University Degree Boost supplements any degree with additional marketable skills with a focus on skills to help graduates secure potential jobs in relevant fields.
Earn More Job Opportunities & More Money
Step 1: Meet Your Advisor
With strategic planning at the beginning of your degree, a boost could be fulfilled with no additional costs or credits.
Step 2: Gain Marketable Skills
Each boost requires four courses for a total of twelve credits. Throughout the process you will gain complementary skills, outside of the core skills of your degree, employers are looking for. You can earn multiple boosts.
Step 3: Promote Your Strengths
Earning a Degree Boost strengthens your resume, giving you an advantage when applying for a new position. Institutional Certificates can be listed on a digital resume, official transcripts, and professional sites.
