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.ref|SNO1

Current enrollment is approximately 3,365 students. In addition to the main convert|70|acre|m2|abbr=on 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. Its football players often go on to play at Division I-A schools, including Brigham Young University, where many of the athletes transfer.

Snow prides itself on having some of the lowest tuition rates of any accredited institution of higher education in Utah, at just $941 per semester (for year of 2007-2008).
