The university awards Associate Degrees, Bachelor's Degrees, and Master's Degrees. The university's first building, built in 1898, remains part of campus, and is affectionately known as Old Main. The university also boasts the legend of Old' Sorrel, a horse who is said to have assisted the citizens in building the school in record-high snow. A statue of the horse is located in front of the Centrum special events center, on the west side of campus. Consistent with its heritage of educating educators, one in three graduates have an education degree. The school also has a loose affiliation with the Utah Shakespearean Festival, which uses university theaters during the summer break. SUU hosts the Utah Summer Games each summer in the Eccles Coliseum. During its history, the school has been known as Branch Normal School (1897–1913), Branch Agricultural College (1913–1953), College of Southern Utah (1953–1969) and Southern Utah State College (1969–1990).
