Overview
Founded in 1888, Utah State University sits on a 400-acre site overlooking picturesque Logan in northern Utah. More than 20,000 students attend the university, either at the Logan campus or at several satellite campuses. Utah State has 45 departments and offers 137 masters and doctoral programs.
The Experience
Utah State has a top college of engineering, a great elementary education program and a well-regarded agricultural college. Research is a large focus of the university--the Utah Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit is one example of the numerous research centers. Cache Valley looks tranquil, but students always have plenty to do. True Aggies never miss a home football game and campus activities are numerous. But most students love Logan's lifestyle because amazing hiking, biking, fishing and skiing opportunities abound.
