Why USU OCW

Why USU OCW?

• If we can improve access, we should.

In the tradition of land grant universities,
Utah State University OpenCourseWare assures that
no individual who is prepared and who desires the
opportunity to advance his or her education is
turned away Services like OpenCourseWare will
enable land grant institutions to more fully
accomplish their missions. USU President Stan
Albrecht
