The University of Utah Asia Campus (UAC), located at Incheon Global Campus, will host an "Experience the UAC Day" event virtually, on Saturday, where prospective students can take undergraduate classes of the school in advance.
High school students and other university students across the country will be invited to join the event that will take place from 10 a.m.
Professors from the communications, psychology, film and media arts, urban ecology, civil and environmental engineering, computer and electrical engineering departments will provide online lectures so that the participants can experience their classes at the UAC.
The UAC faculty and current students will join the event to share about their lives at the university and provide information about admissions, entrance exams and scholarships.
The event is free of charge and anyone who wants to participate can apply through the website of the UAC's admissions office.
"Experience the UAC Day will be a great opportunity to experience University of Utah Asia Campus in advance, and it will be a meaningful time for students who wish to enter UAC, by learning more about the campus from our faculty and students," Brian Byun, the assistant dean of admissions, said in a statement.
