Snow, located in the mountains of Sanpete County in central Utah, has campuses in Ephraim and Richfield, along with an online degree option. As a community college, Snow is committed to helping students get started on their journey, whether they’re transferring to a major university or launching their career immediately after graduation. The school offers more than 80 associate degrees and over 40 certificate programs in subjects like welding, farm and ranch management, and business and music technology. There are two bachelor’s programs: the first is music with an emphasis in commercial music, a degree that is unique among Utah colleges with its focus on the music industry and entrepreneurship. The second bachelor program is for software engineering, a new course starting this year that offers three areas of emphasis: entrepreneurship, digital media design, and web development. Most fields of study expect students to take certain prerequisite courses that prepare them for transfer; Snow offers nearly all of these courses.
