Westminster University
Westminster University, founded in 1875, is Utah's leading private, nonsectarian liberal arts institution, and its small size, around 2,000 students, distinguishes it sharply from the state's much larger public universities and BYU's massive church-affiliated enrollment. The university's nursing and business programs have built solid regional reputations, and Westminster's Salt Lake City location gives students direct access to the city's growing technology and outdoor recreation industries while maintaining a small, residential liberal arts college campus feel. Westminster's outdoor education program benefits directly from its proximity to some of the best skiing and mountain recreation in the country, and the university has built specific academic offerings around outdoor recreation management and environmental studies tied to that geographic advantage. The university's status as one of the only nonsectarian, non-LDS-affiliated private liberal arts institutions in Utah has made it a distinctive choice among students specifically seeking a small private college experience without either a public university's scale or BYU's specific religious institutional requirements.
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.
