Academic Programs

HOW ARE COMMUNITY COLLEGES DIFFERENT FROM UNIVERSITIES?

Community Colleges (also called 2-Year Colleges) offer an easy, affordable way to start your university studies. You can earn the same credits that you would at a university, but instead, you’ll study in a smaller, more supportive environment.

Snow College is an accredited, top quality college with transfer agreements to dozens of well-ranked universities in the USA and overseas, which enables students to earn both an Associate and a Bachelor degree. Snow College is consistently ranked as one of the best educational institutions in the USA, making it the perfect place for students looking to achieve academic success in a fun, safe, residential campus environment.

Snow College is ranked in the top 2.5% of all community colleges in U.S.A.

As of our 2022/23 international student enrollments, Snow College ranks number 37 out of 1,462 community colleges in the U.S. We are one of only three colleges in Utah to appear in the Top 40 list in the last 20 years. When combined with Utah’s reputation as the number one state in America two years in a row, it’s easy to see why obtaining your education here is one of the best decisions you can make.

Snow College ranks #1 in student success in U.S.A.

With an average class size of just 16 students, your professors will be able to give you extra individual attention to help you succeed.

Before you dive into your degree specialty, you’ll have a chance to take several General Education classes. These are designed to:

• Provide you with a broad exposure to different academic disciplines in order to help you select your course of study and career path.
• Facilitate the development of a passion for a specific area of study and a love of learning in general.
• Show you how to analyse a situation and make decisions.
• Help you improve your communication, creativity and social skills.
• Provide connections between disciplines by providing integrated learning opportunities.
• Prepare you to participate fully in human culture, ask probing and thoughtful questions, and engage as a responsible citizen.

Our Academic Advising team can also give you guidance on what to study or which degree and career path best suits you. If your academic English skills need improvement, Snow College has an excellent English as a Second Language Program (ESL) to help you succeed.

To further support your international education goals, in addition to our U.S.-based courses, Snow College offers a variety of study abroad programs from short-term faculty led experiences to a semester or summer abroad and even a Global Completion Degree Pathway program. These dynamic overseas programs are open to both domestic and international students—a rare opportunity, as community colleges seldom provide study abroad experiences. This unique offering sets us apart, giving our students an exceptional chance to broaden their horizons beyond borders and upon graduation, enter the workforce with an expanded global mindset.
