Snow College

About Snow College

Snow College is a public community college located in Ephraim, Utah. The institution is classified by the U.S. Department of Education as predominantly an associate-degree-granting two-year college, the federal definition that anchors this site's index of community colleges nationwide. Like other two-year colleges in Utah, it primarily serves local residents who are pursuing an occupational credential, an associate degree, or transfer-eligible general-education credit toward a bachelor's degree.

23% of undergraduates received a federal Pell Grant in the most recent reporting year — a useful proxy for the share of the student body from lower-income households. Median federal student-loan debt at completion was $7,000, well below national averages for four-year institutions. Tuition and aid are reported here as published rates from the College Scorecard; the price you actually pay can be considerably lower once you file the FAFSA and your eligibility for federal, state, and institutional aid is calculated. For most community-college students, the realistic out-of-pocket cost after Pell and state grants is a small fraction of the published tuition.

Outcomes

Snow College did not report a transfer rate to the College Scorecard in the most recent reporting cycle. Ask the admissions office directly for the share of full-time first-time entrants who continued at a four-year institution. Completion data was not reported for the latest cycle. Median earnings of former students ten years after first enrollment, as matched against federal tax records, were $41,022. This figure includes graduates, transfers, and non-completers, so treat it as a directional indicator of post-college outcomes rather than a starting-salary projection.

Use the lists in the sidebar to compare against neighboring community colleges in Utah on the metrics that matter for your situation. Students aiming to transfer should weigh transfer rate, completion rate, and the strength of articulation agreements with the four-year institutions they plan to apply to. Students pursuing a terminal credential should weigh program availability and the local employment market for that field, using the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook as a national reference and the state workforce agency for Utah for regional wages and openings.
