University of Utah
The University of Utah, founded in 1850, is the state's flagship public research university, and its computer science department pioneered some of the earliest computer graphics research in the world during the 1960s and '70s, training a generation of engineers who went on to found companies including Adobe, Netscape, and Pixar. The university's medical center performed the world's first artificial heart transplant in 1982, implanting the Jarvik-7 device developed at the university, giving Utah a founding role in one of the most significant milestones in the history of cardiac medicine. The university's business school and its entrepreneurship programs have built increasingly strong reputations, benefiting from Salt Lake City's growing technology industry, sometimes referred to as "Silicon Slopes," which has drawn substantial venture capital investment and startup activity to the surrounding region. The university's combination of foundational computer graphics research history, its landmark artificial heart transplant, and its Salt Lake City location amid a growing regional technology economy has made Utah one of the more historically significant public research universities in computing and medical innovation specifically.
VS
Utah State University
Utah State University, founded in 1888 as the state's land-grant institution, has built one of the strongest space and satellite engineering programs in the country through its Space Dynamics Laboratory, which has contributed instruments and technology to numerous NASA and Department of Defense space missions. The university's agricultural and veterinary science programs reflect its land-grant founding mission, and USU's engineering college has produced a significant number of graduates working in the aerospace and defense industries, drawing directly on the university's specific research strength in satellite technology. USU's Logan, Utah campus, set in a mountain valley in the northern part of the state, gives the university a distinctive setting relative to Utah's more urban Salt Lake City-area institutions, and the school's outdoor recreation programs benefit directly from the surrounding mountainous terrain. The university's specific strength in space and satellite engineering, disproportionate to its size and relatively modest national name recognition, has made Utah State a distinctive choice among students specifically interested in aerospace or satellite technology careers within Utah's public university system.
