About Weber State University
Weber State University is known for student-focused teaching, personalized educational experiences, and its transformative impacts in Utah and beyond. WSU was founded 137 years ago with the purpose of providing “educational advantages” and a “well-rounded education” to “every aspiring young person.” Over the years, we have stayed true to our founding principles, offering our community a place to learn, to find their brilliance, and to feel welcome. We’ve done that through our dual focus as a regional university that retains a community college mission, today offering 275 certificate and degree programs.
Our Students
Weber State is home to more than 33,000 students: certificate-seekers, undergraduates, graduate students, doctoral candidates, and concurrent enrollment students. Among them you’ll find local first-generation college students and students who are married, have children, or are working full time. We also welcome a number of out-of-state and international students. Across our several campuses and centers, students have access to personalized teaching and flexible programs to help reach their goals. We’re proud to continue our legacy of expanding opportunity by delivering high-quality education at a cost students can afford.
Core Themes
Three core themes lie at the heart of Weber State’s mission:
Access
As an open-enrollment university, we welcome everyone who is looking to learn, grow, discover their passion, or provide for their families.
Learning
With innovative programs, engaging experiences, and personalized opportunities, we offer an environment where students thrive.
Community
Forging strong connections in our community, we provide educational, economic, and service partnerships, and contribute to local culture through the arts and athletics.
