Utah State University (often called USU or Utah State) is a public university in Logan, Utah. It's a special kind of university called a land-grant university. This means it was started in 1888 with help from the U.S. government. USU is one of the two main universities in Utah. It is known for its high level of research.
USU's main campus in Logan is the oldest and largest public campus in Utah where students live. More than 84% of students live away from their homes.
When it first started, USU focused on subjects like military science, technology, science, and farming. By 1947, its military program was so good that it was called the "West Point of the West." This was because USU trained more officers for the U.S. military than almost any other school.
In Fall 2023, USU had 28,063 students. Over 175,000 people have graduated from USU. They live in all 50 U.S. states and more than 116 countries. The university has nine campuses and many learning centers across Utah. It also has over 50 research centers. One of these is the Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL). SDL is one of only 15 special research centers for the United States Department of Defense.
USU is also a top university for research and development. It spent $344.9 million on research in 2022. It has the second oldest program in the U.S. for students to do their own research.
USU's sports teams are called the Utah State Aggies. They play in Division I as part of the Mountain West Conference.

History of USU
How USU Started
In 1861, a bill was introduced to create colleges in each state. These colleges would be open to everyone, especially working people. President Abraham Lincoln signed this bill, called the Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Act, in 1862.
Around the same time, a person named Anthon H. Lund from Utah thought Utah needed a school. This school would combine science and research with farming. Many people in Utah lived by farming. When Lund heard about the Morrill Act, he suggested a college for Utah.
The big question was where to put the new college. Other cities already had important buildings. So, people in Logan, Utah, worked hard to get the college. On March 8, 1888, the bill to start the Agricultural College of Utah was passed. The first student, 14-year-old Vendla Berntson, enrolled on September 2, 1890.
Growing Bigger
The Agricultural College grew steadily. In 1914, it started its statewide Extension program. This program shares university research with communities. A year later, it gave out its first master's degrees.
During World War I, many students joined the Student Army Training Corps. This meant colleges became training grounds. USU's campus doubled in size to house these students. After the war, the military science program kept growing. By 1947, USU was known as the "West Point of the West." This was because it trained more military officers than almost any other school.
In the 1920s and 1930s, the college continued to expand. A School of Education was added in 1928. The school's name changed to Utah State Agricultural College in 1929. In 1950, it started offering doctoral degrees. Finally, in 1957, the school became a university. It was officially named Utah State University of Agriculture and Applied Science. But most people just call it Utah State University.
During World War II, USU was one of six colleges chosen for a special Navy training program. Students studied electrical engineering for three months. This program trained about 2,750 students.
In the late 1970s, there were some challenges with international students. After a difficult event in 1979, the number of Middle Eastern students at USU dropped. It has only recently started to increase again.
Towards the end of the 1900s, USU worked to become a well-known national university. Its funding grew a lot during this time.
The 21st Century
In the 2000s, USU started working with universities and governments in other countries. The Merrill-Cazier Library opened in 2005. In 2010, USU took over the Swaner EcoCenter and the former College of Eastern Utah. This added more campuses and programs. In 2012, USU finished a huge fundraising campaign, raising $400 million. This was the biggest fundraiser in USU's history.
USU Campuses
Utah State University has many campuses across Utah. It also has USU Extension offices in every county. These offices share university research with local communities.
USU also owns and runs several centers for farming, horses, plants, and nature. These include the Bastian Equestrian and Agricultural Center in Salt Lake City and the Swaner EcoCenter near Park City.
USU's distance education started in 1904. Professors would travel by train to teach. Later, they drove around the state. In 1967, the first Statewide Campus was created in Uintah Basin. By 1996, satellite systems helped professors teach from a distance. Today, the USU system includes USU Eastern, three regional campuses, and many distance education centers.
USU plans to build more residential and research campuses across the state.
Utah State University Eastern
Utah State University Eastern is in Price, Utah. It joined the USU system in 2010. It also has a campus in Blanding, Utah. USU Eastern is a junior college. It offers associate degrees and job training programs. Students can also take bachelor's, master's, and doctoral courses there. USU Eastern has its own sports teams, the Eastern Utah Golden Eagles.
Statewide Campuses
USU's Regional Campuses and Distance Education (RCDE) helps bring high-quality education to all parts of Utah.
Regional campuses are in Brigham City, Tooele, and the Uintah Basin (Vernal and Roosevelt). RCDE also offers courses at the Price and San Juan campuses of USU Eastern. There are 21 education centers across the state. These include locations in Moab, Kaysville, and Salt Lake City. Students can earn many degrees without ever visiting the main Logan campus. Courses are also available online.
USU is growing in Moab. The city of Moab is helping to develop the campus there. New degrees are planned to meet the community's needs.
Cooperative Extension
The USU Cooperative Extension started in 1914. It provides research-based information to communities. Extension has 30 offices across Utah. These include the Swaner EcoCenter and Thanksgiving Point. Extension programs cover topics like 4-H, farming business, gardening, and animal health.
Logan Campus
USU's main campus is in Logan, Utah. It covers 600 acres. The campus sits on a hill overlooking the valley. Mount Logan rises sharply to the east.
The main campus has over 100 buildings. Important buildings include Maverik Stadium, the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum, and Old Main. The Merrill-Cazier Library is the main university library. The Manon Caine Russell-Kathryn Caine Wanlass Performance Hall is also a notable building.
The Logan City Cemetery divides the campus. Most academic buildings are to the south of the cemetery. The sports facilities are to the west and north. First Dam, a small research reservoir, is on campus property. It's a popular spot for picnics and water sports.
USU also owns over 1,000 acres of land around the main campus. This land is used for research and farming. Many other research buildings and farms are located throughout Utah.
USU's Logan campus is recognized as an international arboretum. It has over 7,000 trees, including 30 of the largest tree species in Utah.
Nearby Logan Canyon is a popular place for students to relax. It has trails and parks along the river. Students can go camping, hiking, or visit Beaver Mountain Ski Resort and Bear Lake. The university's Outdoor Recreation Program rents equipment to students.
Student Life
Utah State University is the oldest and largest public campus in Utah where students live. About 84% of students live away from home.
There are 21 different buildings for single students on campus. There are also 39 buildings for married students. Many other students live in apartments nearby. Students can eat at two cafeterias or the Forum Cafe in the library. There's also a full-service restaurant called the Skyroom.
On the east side of campus is Aggie Ice Cream. This place has been around since 1888. It's famous for its "world-famous" ice cream and cheese.
USU has had a creamery since it started in 1888. Students learned how to make ice cream and cheese. Today, Aggie Ice Cream is in the Nutrition and Food Sciences building. The milk comes from the Caine Dairy Research and Teaching Center.
USU also has its own chocolate factory, The Aggie Chocolate Factory. It sells chocolate at shops on campus and in the sports stadiums. They also sell hot cocoa in winter and a cold drink called "Frozen As."
A fun student tradition is becoming a "True Aggie." This means kissing someone who is already a True Aggie on top of the Block "A" monument. Two students can also become True Aggies together on Homecoming night. The lighted "A" on top of the Old Main tower shines white normally. It turns blue when a USU sports team wins.
Every student at USU is represented by the Utah State University Student Association (USUSA). This group has elected student officers. They manage campus events, activities, and speak up for students.
In 2016-2017, the USUSA brought attention to a mental health crisis at USU. They worked to reduce wait times for counseling services. Their efforts led to a resolution in the Utah State Legislature. This resolution recognized a mental health crisis at all Utah universities.
Students can use the HPER, Nelson Fieldhouse, and ARC (Aggie Recreation Center) for exercise. These facilities have basketball courts, rock climbing, swimming pools, and outdoor fields. USU students can also join over 100 clubs. There are also fraternities and sororities, and a student-run radio station.
In 1970, USU students created one of the first service organizations in the nation. It was called VOICE. It worked to improve the community and environment. Today, it's called The Val R. Christensen Service Center. Students are involved in over 20 service groups.
USU has a strong ROTC program for the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and Air Force. ROTC members are often seen at sports events. They perform pushups and fire a cannon when the Aggies score points in football games. This cannon is also fired after every home team victory.
USU's mascot is Big Blue. Big Blue is a visible presence at games and in the community. Big Blue is usually a student in a costume. This student performs dances and stunts with the Spirit Squad. At football games, Big Blue rides a Harley Davidson motorcycle onto the field. Sometimes, Big Blue wears military gear for special games. Being chosen as Big Blue is an honor. The student's identity is kept secret until a "de-masking" ceremony.
USU has many traditions, like its two fight songs: "Hail the Utah Aggies" and "The Scotsman." Other events include Homecoming and "The Howl," a big Halloween celebration. The Luminary Processional welcomes new students. The End of Year Bash is a concert to celebrate the end of the school year.
Logan, Utah, has been called a "Best College Town" and USU's campus the "Most Beautiful Campus in Utah." Logan has a lively arts scene. Logan Canyon and the Cache National Forest are popular for outdoor activities. Students can also visit ski resorts like Beaver Mountain and Bear Lake. Utah's national parks are also a few hours away.
