Utah State University

Utah State University (USU or Utah State) is a public land-grant research university with its main campus in Logan, Utah. It is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. Utah State University is classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very High Research Activity". As of Fall 2023, it had nearly 30,000 enrolled students, including 26,949 undergraduates and 3,019 graduate students. USU has more than 500,000 alumni located in all 50 states and more than 125 countries.

Founded in 1888 as Utah's land-grant college under the 1862 Act, USU's original charter focused on science, engineering, agriculture, domestic arts, military science, technology, and mechanic arts. By 1947, USU's military science program was so successful, and had gained such prominence, that USU came be known as the, "West Point of the West" as USU came to commission more officers into the military than any other school in the nation, with the exception of the United States Military Academy at West Point. USU received its current name in 1957. In 2020, USU had nine colleges, with a tenth college (the College of Veterinary Medicine) announced in 2022, and offers 283 degree programs: 159 undergraduate degrees, 83 master's degrees, and 41 doctoral degrees.

Including its main campus in Logan, USU also owns and operates 11 additional residential and research campuses; 23 education centers; 30 county office locations; 5 additional innovation, research parks, and business development centers; 14 additional agricultural research centers and research farms; dozens of other wholly-owned defense research and government contractor entities (including but not limited to the Center for Growth and Opportunity ("CGO"), Center for Anticipatory Intelligence ("CAI"), and the Space Dynamics Laboratory ("SDL") — the latter being the United States Missile Defense Agency's University Affiliated Research Center (UARC)); and Utah State University Eastern — a wholly-owned but separate regional college located in Price, Utah and Blanding, Utah. Additional USU-owned research parks and business development centers include but are not limited to the Swaner Preserve EcoCenter (in Park City), the Ogden Botanical Center (in Ogden), the USU Botanical Center (in Kaysville), and the Bastian Agricultural and Equestrian Center (in Salt Lake City).

USU's campuses are located in Logan (Main Campus), Brigham City, Moab, Tooele, Vernal, Roosevelt, Park City, Ogden, Kaysville, Tremonton, and Salt Lake City. Together with USU's 23 education centers, 30 county offices, and Utah State University Eastern (in Price and Blanding), these campuses form the Utah State University Statewide Campus System.

USU's athletic teams compete in Division I of the NCAA and are collectively known as the Utah State Aggies. They are a member of the Mountain West Conference.
