Utah State University Courses

Utah State University Administered Courses

In Spring 2021, we began offering a sequence of six, short-courses, that parallel the modularized workshop curriculum (available for free, self-pacing here). These short-courses differ from the workshop curriculum in that:

  • These courses are taken for University Credit (for matriculated USU students) or University Continuing Education Units
  • These courses use the same curriculum as the free self-paced modules, but are augmented by more in-depth class discussions, quizzes and homework assignments
  • These courses are assessed, and you will receive feedback and a letter grade based on your assessed work.

The LTBPR Spring Series of courses met weekly on Tuesdays from 1:30 to 4:15 MST (hybrid F2F), and Implementation has a mandatory Saturday Field Trip.
