Utah State University (USU or Utah State) is a public land-grant research university with its main campus in Logan, Utah, United States.[13][14] Founded in 1888 under the Morrill Land-Grant Acts as Utah's federal land-grant institution, Utah State serves as one of Utah's two flagship universities.[15][16] It is classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity".[17][18] The Logan campus is the state's largest public residential campus, with more than 84% of students living away from home.[19]

According to its original charter, Utah State's primary purpose was to focus on subjects and programs relating to mechanic arts, science, agriculture, technology, classical studies, and military science. By 1947, Utah State's military science program had earned significant recognition for its officer training efforts. During this time, the university commissioned many officers into the U.S. military, surpassed only by the United States Military Academy at West Point. This achievement led to comparisons with other universities, particularly The United State Military Academy at West Point, with USU referred to as the "West Point of the West".[20][21]

As of fall 2023, Utah State had 28,063 enrolled students, including 20,259 at its main Logan campus.[7] The university has a presence statewide, with a total of 30 statewide campuses and more than 50 research institutes and centers.[22] Among these research institutes is the Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL), which is the sole University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) for the Missile Defense Agency, and a UARC for the United States Department of Defense.[23] In collaboration with SDL, Utah State has launched more experiments and payloads into space than any university in the world.[24][25]

According to the National Science Foundation, Utah State was ranked 80th nationally and among the top 50 public universities for total research and development revenue and expenditures, with $401.5 million in 2023[26][27], and a reported $497.4 million in 2024.[28] The university also hosts the second-oldest undergraduate research program in the United States,[29] and the only colleges of agriculture and veterinary medicine in the state of Utah.[30][31]

Utah State's athletic teams, known as the Utah State Aggies, compete in NCAA Division I as members of the Mountain West Conference.[32] Beginning July 1, 2026, the Aggies will compete in the Pac-12 Conference.[33][34]
