Utah State University has developed from a modest agricultural college to one that is nationally and internationally recognized for its educational and technological leadership in land, water, space, and life enhancement.   The University is led by President Stan L. Albrecht and has 850 faculty who offer education for more than 23,000 undergraduate and graduate students, including 7,000 in its continuing education sites located throughout the state of Utah.  USU occupies 7,000 acres, 400 of which are on campus, with more than 200 buildings, 63 of which are devoted to academics. 

With seven colleges, more than 200 majors and 130 research-related classes, Utah State can count four Goldwater Scholars and a Rhodes Scholar among its graduates in the past five years.  Student-centered and hands-on learning opportunities are plentiful as Utah State attracted more than $186 million in research revenue last year.  These research dollars, along with stellar faculty mentors, have inspired more than 1,000 students to pursue their own research projects every year. 

USU is a place of diverse thought, where first-rate cultural offerings provided by endowed professors and visiting artists benefit thousands of students and members of the community.  It is a safe place that provides a unique living-learning community and is the oldest and largest public residential campus in Utah.
