Academics Come First at Utah State
The academic advantages of a large university, together with the friendliness of a small college, are offered at Utah State University. With a student body of more than 23,000, USU recognizes that the needs of the individual are of major importance, and many programs have been established to give the student the optimum of individual attention.
The first thing you'll notice about academics at Utah State: You've got a lot of choices. And with choice comes possibility.
With 47 departments in seven academic colleges, a School of Graduate Studies, University Extension, and several research programs, Utah State University offers an excellent opportunity for students to study a wide range of subjects. And with choice comes possibility. The possibility to study in the field that you've always dreamed about-or to explore one that you've never heard of. To create a course of study that combines your interests and goals just the way you want to combine them. To investigate a world of knowledge that's bigger than you ever thought possible.
Learn from the best. More than 86% of Utah State's professors have doctoral or terminal degrees, so you know you're being taught by people with years of experience in their fields. And full-time faculty members teach the majority of classes-not teaching assistants, like you'll find at many other big state universities. What's even better: These same professors really get to know their students, and then invite them into the labs to help conduct cutting-edge research.
Jump right in. Utah State's seven colleges are open to everybody, and you're not "locked in" to one after you start. So go ahead: Take that fly-fishing or folklore class that sounds so intriguing. Add a business minor to your computer science degree. Double-major in music and biology if that's your heart's desire. At Utah State, it's all about investigation.
