Mission Statement

The Department of Applied Economics at Utah State University has four core missions: undergraduate training, graduate training, research, and extension and community service. As a Ph.D. granting department at a university designated as a Carnegie Research University (High Research Activity) and a major land grant university, the department aims to achieve and maintain a strong local, regional, national, and international reputation for excellence in each of its mission areas. The organization and governance of the department is oriented toward achieving that goal.
