Recreation Administration
The Recreation Administration program here at USU in the College of Education and Human Services is amazing! The faculty genuinely care about every student's success. I get to be involved in a variety of projects and get all kinds of hands-on learning experiences that go beyond the typical classroom setting. Recreation is all about providing programs and experiences for people to have fun and take a break from day-to-day stresses. In recreation, there is something for everyone which is why I love it so much. I didn't start my college experience studying Rec Admin, but I couldn't imagine it any other way now.

The College of Education and Human Services has so much to offer. The nursing program at Utah State University is great, and I have loved every minute of it. From the time I was little, I have always wanted to be a nurse. I really like how nurses get to interact with so many different people, and help them! The nursing major is so rewarding, and taught by great professors. I can’t wait to be a nurse!

Elementary Education & Special Education
Being a special education and elementary education composite major is the best decision I could have made for my degree. I have not only learned how to be an effective educator, but I have had classroom experience in which I am able to practice course content. The program here at USU allows future teachers to be throughly immersed into classroom instruction well before student teaching. I have made lifelong friends and connected with professionals in the education field. All the professors are caring, knowledgeable, and authentic. I love being a part of the College of Education and Human Services!
