Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services

What Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services does

The Emma Eccles Jones College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences is a public academic college within Utah State University in Logan, Utah, comprising eight academic departments and nine specialized research and service centers. It delivers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in education, psychology, nursing, kinesiology, speech and hearing sciences, human development, instructional technology, and special education, alongside clinical and community services including the Dolores Doré Eccles Center for Early Care and Education (NAEYC-accredited), the ASSERT Autism Program, the Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Research Center (ADRC), the Body Composition Lab, the Collaboratory for K-12 educator support, and the Center for the School of the Future.

The college's revenue model is institutionally anchored: state appropriations and USU allocations cover core operations; tuition flows through USU's centralized admissions; extramural research grants fund ADRC, education research, and pilot studies (the college ranks #13 nationally in extramural funding); modest commercial revenue is generated by childcare subscriptions ($965-$1,261/month tiers), Paraeducator Behavior Modules training ($50 per person), and Body Composition Lab testing. Customer segments span traditional students, families with young children, K-12 educators and paraeducators, individuals with autism and dementia, and school districts across Utah.

The college was renamed in 2024 from the College of Education and Human Services to reflect its expanded health and human sciences mandate. It is governed by the Utah State Board of Higher Education, funded primarily by the State of Utah and federal grants, with philanthropic support from the Emma Eccles Jones Foundation. It does not have private ownership, venture funding, or independent financials — all revenue is consolidated within Utah State University's institutional budget.
