The Interstate Passport at Utah State University

To receive an Interstate Passport at Utah State University students must complete the USU General Education requirements.  An integrated program, USU’s General Education expectations benchmark to the Course Designation Criteria at USU, and to the Utah State University Degree Profile 

They also reflect the expectations for all general education students in Utah as defined in the Utah System of Higher Education’s Policy R 470 that defines General Education Competencies, Fluencies and Proficiencies for all the essential learning outcomes of General Education.

Because they interlock, many of the Interstate Passport areas are taught and reinforced in multiple courses.
