100 Years of Departments
Weber State is celebrating 100 years of departments, with 2022 marking the centennial anniversary of the school changing its name to Weber College.
In 1922, the name change coincided with becoming a junior college, and 12 academic departments were created. While many disciplines had already been conducting classes prior to the change, the event signified the formal organization of courses into designated departments.
Throughout the years, departments have evolved and changed as needed.
Today, WSU has almost 50 academic departments that cover a broad range of disciplines, with many of the original 12 serving as a foundation for current areas.
- Department of Art
- Department of Dramatic Art
- Department of Economics and Sociology
- Department of Education and Psychology
- Department of English Language and Literature
- Department of Mathematics
- Department of Music
- Department of History and Political Science
- Department of Home Economics
- Department of Modern Languages and Latin
