About the David Eccles School of Business
At the David Eccles School of Business, a world-class business education is grounded in tackling real-world challenges. Students put what they learn into practice long before graduation. As a school on the ascent, we combine academic excellence with immersive, hands-on learning to help every student reach their peak.
Founded in 1917 and built on a rich tradition of business success and leadership, the David Eccles School of Business at the University of Utah offers a learning environment that prepares students to do more than earn a degree or study business. They live the experience. We are home to renowned institutes and centers that advance academic research while supporting a dynamic ecosystem of entrepreneurship, technology, innovation, and societal impact.
Located in Salt Lake City at the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains, the University of Utah offers an unmatched setting for academic, professional, and personal discovery. The campus is just 30 minutes from seven ski resorts and less than five hours from five national parks. Salt Lake City is a thriving urban hub for dining, arts, and culture, and is consistently recognized as a top-ranked business environment for job growth and economic vitality.
