Snow College is a two-year state college located in Ephraim, Utah. It offers certificates and associate degrees in a number of areas. Snow College is operated as part of the Utah System of Higher Education.
Founded in 1888 by local citizens as Sanpete Stake Academy, the school was later renamed Snow Academy to honor The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) leaders Lorenzo Snow and Erastus Snow. The name was changed to Snow College in 1923. The college was transferred from the LDS church to the State of Utah in 1932.
Current enrollment is approximately 4,000 students. In addition to the main 70-acre (283,000 m²) Ephraim campus, Snow College maintains the Snow College Richfield Campus in Richfield, Utah.
Snow College athletic teams, known as the Badgers, are consistently highly ranked; its football team won the National Junior College Championship in 1985.
Snow prides itself on having the lowest tuition of any accredited institution of higher education in Utah, at just $818 per semester (for year of 2005-2006).
