Snow College
Public Community College in Ephraim, UT. Six-year graduation rate 46%. Median 10-year earnings $41,022.
Ten-year median earnings of $41,022 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. The six-year graduation rate is 46%, meaning about one in two students who start do not finish. Median debt at graduation is $7,000, a light load against those earnings.

Academics
Six-year completion sits at 46%, meaning about one in two students who enroll leave without finishing. A 19% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. At 18:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution. As a public four-year university, the relevant comparison is other four-year schools rather than the national average across all institutions. With 5,506 undergraduates, the school sits in the middle of the size distribution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 3,552 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $5,626 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $4,672 at $0–30k against $11,788 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 68% get grants averaging $6,751, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 19% of students.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $4,672 |
| $30–48k | $2,273 |
| $48–75k | $5,202 |
| $75–110k | $7,116 |
| $110k+ | $11,788 |
