Utah State University
Logan, UT
Figures on this page come from U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard data. This school has not been individually reviewed, so there is no ranking, aid-policy, or GPA guidance below.
What it may cost by family income
Estimated average net price — what families actually pay after grants and scholarships — by annual household income. Net price matters far more than the $37,228 sticker price. All figures are the full cost of attendance — housing, food, and books included, not just tuition.
| Household income | Est. net price / year |
|---|---|
| Under $30k | $12,057 |
| $30k–$48k | $12,803 |
| $48k–$75k | $13,521 |
| $75k–$110k | $16,094 |
| Over $110k | $19,169 |
Sticker cost of attendance: $37,228 (out-of-state) · $21,654 in-state.
What the whole degree costs
Every cost figure above is one year. A bachelor's degree is four — sometimes five. Today's-prices makes no assumptions; the second column assumes prices rise ~3.5% a year, in line with recent averages.
| Household income | 4 yrs, today's prices | 4 yrs with increases |
|---|---|---|
| Under $30k | $48,228 | $50,820 |
| $30k–$48k | $51,212 | $53,964 |
| $48k–$75k | $54,084 | $56,990 |
| $75k–$110k | $64,376 | $67,835 |
| Over $110k | $76,676 | $80,796 |
59% of students here graduate within six years. If the degree takes a fifth year, budget roughly one more year at the prices above — ask the school what share of students finish in four.
First-year aid is not guaranteed to repeat — ask Utah State University how grants change after year one. That answer moves these numbers more than anything else on this page.
Applying to a specific major at Utah State University
93% is the acceptance rate for the whole university — not for every major. For the programs below, admission is usually decided separately and is harder than that number suggests. Almost no university publishes a by-major admission rate, and neither does the federal government, so we do not show one: any site that does is estimating.
To find the real figure for your major, check Utah State University's Common Data Set and its admissions page, or ask an admissions officer directly — that question gets answered more often than students expect.
At Utah State University: 166 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $69,338 median earnings (Computer and Information Sciences, General.)
Applicant demand has grown far faster than faculty and seats, so many universities cap CS enrollment, admit to it directly, or require a competitive internal application after enrolling.
Check: Whether the school admits to CS directly, and whether switching into CS later is restricted — the answer changes your real odds more than your test scores do.
At Utah State University: 119 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $61,728 median earnings (Mechanical Engineering.)
Most engineering colleges admit students directly into the college rather than the university at large, and review them against a separate, usually more selective pool.
Check: Whether you apply to the engineering college directly, and what happens if you are not admitted — some schools offer general admission with a later transfer path, others do not.
At Utah State University: 363 bachelor's degrees awarded a year · $50,439 median earnings (Finance and Financial Management Services.)
Many undergraduate business schools admit their own cohort at application time and are more selective than the university overall; others admit only after two years of coursework.
Check: Whether the business school is direct-admit for first-years, and if not, what GPA the internal application actually requires.
Federal data shows no bachelor's completions at Utah State University in nursing, architecture or visual & performing arts, so those are not listed above. Small or new programs can be missing from federal reporting — confirm with the school before ruling one out.
