Snow College is a rural, two-year state college located in Ephraim, Utah, U.S. 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 3,365 students. In addition to the main 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, and finished #2 in 2006.

I loved Snow College! It was so nice to have a small school with great teachers. 98% of the students there are also in a new place, so everyone is eager to make friends. There are definitely some quirky things about Ephraim, like the seasonal moving of the sheep from one side of town to the other--definitely something to take photos of! Every night at sunset, the wind changes and you can smell the nearby turkey farms. The small town atmosphere is definitely not for everyone. Every weekend most of the people leave town, leaving the town quite empty. A lot of the local stores close early. There's a one-screen movie theater that changes its show every week. It doesn't take long to walk from one end of the town to another. (At least now there is a Wal-Mart there; there wasn't one when I went there). I didn't have a car, so I stuck around most every weekend and had to find ways to entertain myself. If you have a car, you might find yourself leaving town like everyone else. But I found the town very safe, very comfortable, and a wonderful way to ease into the college life.

All the colleges/universities in Utah have a decent music program, but there isn't really a school that is known for its program. You're probably just fine at Snow--you are getting a lot of personalized attention and can take that to another school. Transferring with an Associates will give you a jump on things.
