Utah Tech University (UT), formerly Dixie State University (DSU), is a polytechnic 4-year public university in St. George, Utah.[1] The university offers doctoral degrees, master's degrees, bachelor's degrees, associate degrees, and certifications.[5] As of fall 2022, there are 12,556 students enrolled at UT.[6]
The institution began as St. George Stake Academy, founded in 1911 by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Later it became a state school of the Utah System of Higher Education.[7] Until 2000, it was a two-year junior college named Dixie College.[7] In 2021, after controversy over the use of the term "Dixie" in the school's name, the state legislature approved the bill that allowed the school to become Utah Tech University.[8]
UT's 16 athletic teams compete in NCAA Division I and are collectively known as the Utah Tech Trailblazers. Utah Tech reclassified to Division I in 2019[9] and joined the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) in the 2020–2021 season.[10] Previously, the Trailblazers competed in NCAA Division II, with the football team being part of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference,[11] while the Women's Swimming team competed in the Pacific Collegiate Swim Conference,[12] and the school's 14 other athletic teams competed in the PacWest Conference.[13]
