犹他州立大学是该州唯一提供范围科学高级学位的公立大学，并且是该州唯一拥有自然资源学院的大学。作为土地授予机构，USU致力于教育学生并为他们做好从事牧场保护和保护工作的准备。该课程的学生学习牧场环境中生态学原理的科学和应用。虽然USU的范围科学重点主要放在大盆地的牧场上，但学生将获得牧场生态系统中各个学科的广泛背景。学生可以学习与牧场科学相关的特定领域，例如植被管理，动物行为和牧场恢复。
Utah State University is the only public university in the state that offers advanced degrees in range science, and it is the only university in the state with a college of natural resources. As a land-grant institution, USU is committed to educating students and preparing them for work in conservation and preservation of range lands. Students in this program study the science and application of ecology principles in rangeland environments. While the focus of range sciences at USU is primarily on the rangelands of the Great Basin, students will receive a broad background in various subjects in rangeland ecosystems. Students can study specific areas related to rangeland science, such as vegetation management, animal behavior, and restoration of rangelands.
