Snow College is a two-year college with on-campus housing located in a beautiful mountain valley in central Utah.
There’s countless reasons why Snow College is consistently ranked one of the top educational institutions in the U.S.A. Moreover, for the last two years in a row, U.S. News & World Report has ranked Utah the number one best state in the whole country!
Discover some of the advantages of a Snow College education below, and watch our video to hear directly from our students on what they love about Snow College.
Snow College is consistently ranked as one of the top educational institutions in the USA, making it the perfect place for students looking to achieve academic success in a fun, safe, residential campus environment.
You can get a top quality education with amazing professors for a fraction of the cost of most universities in USA (less than $15,000 per year compared to $50,000!).
Affordability doesn't mean we sacrifice quality. Snow College professors have real-life experience and passion for their field. Many are teaching at Snow after years of working in their area and can bring practical knowledge to the classroom. In addition, our small class sizes mean your professors know you by name and are committed to seeing you succeed.
When it comes to accommodation, Snow College offers on-campus housing, which is a rare benefit to find at a community college. You can live just steps away from all the action and better still, living on campus for an entire semester is cheaper than one week of accommodation in a big city like New York or Miami!
An average of 16 students per class, no large lecture halls, and staff are here to help you every step of the way. Plus lots of ELT support to help you polish up your English, especially academic writing skills. We’re a perfect fit for you if you have the drive to succeed but need a little help along the way.
Standardized exams such as SAT or ACT are not required. After submitting your application and documents, you’ll get a decision back from us in just 3 business days. No delays, no stress!
Snow is a springboard for your future. You can earn credits with us and use them towards your Bachelor degree at any of our partner universities in the USA or elsewhere in the world.
We know the college experience is about more than what happens in the classroom. That's why we have many campus activities that appeal to all interests. There's always something happening on campus between our sports, 50+ student clubs, and various student life activities.
Snow College offers a friendly, small town community with clean air, no traffic and big open skies. Imagine easy, 10 minute walks to your classes and weekends hiking, skiing or mountain biking. Right on your doorstep you’ll find several of the most beautiful national parks in America including Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands and Arches.
And no, it doesn’t snow all the time! We enjoy all 4 seasons here in Utah, and most people relish any opportunity to get out into nature year-round. Learn what it's like to live as a student in Utah, officially ranked as the number one state in America two years in a row.
With campuses located in Ephraim, Richfield, and an online degree option, students can complete degrees in Associate of Arts, Science or Applied Science, plus numerous specialized, short-term vocational training certificates and diplomas including a Bachelor’s Degree in Software Engineering and a Bachelor’s Degree in Music with an emphasis in Commercial Music.
In addition, 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. Both domestic and international students are able to participate in these exciting programs overseas, which is highly unusual because not many community colleges enable their students to study abroad!
At Snow you will find excellent facilities like our science labs, tutoring centers, writing labs, library, even our own planetarium and many other academic opportunities. Take a virtual tour of our buildings and see for yourself!
F-1 students are eligible for a total of 12 months of Optional Practical Training (OPT) per educational degree level (e.g. Associate’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s, Doctorate).
So by choosing Snow, you’ll get double the work experience! International students can do OPT once after graduating from Snow College and again after graduating from their transfer institution. This is because we are a community college, which follows the 2+2 education model and offers many benefits.
Plus, in 2023 and 2024, U.S. News & World Report voted Utah as the # 1 best state owing to its strong economy, employment opportunities, job growth, and fiscal stability. So upon graduation, you'll have an extremely healthy job market waiting for you!
At Snow College, international students can earn college credit while they learn or improve their English skills in the ESL program. There is also an organized tutorial program for students who need extra help in making the transition to regular college classes.
Snow College is the beating heart of its nearby communities in Ephraim and Richfield. We are ranked as one of the safest college campuses in Utah and our students enjoy a relaxed atmosphere knowing that safety standards are rigorously enforced such as key-card entry to all buildings, CCTV, campus police patrol, and security checks for all staff.
