Ensign College is a private college in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. Founded in 1886, the college is owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and operates under its Church Educational System. It also includes an institute of religion and is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the average net price of just $10,003/year and remarkably low median debt of $3,500 at graduation make this one of the most affordable college options you'll find anywhere. However, the 31% graduation rate and 61% freshman retention rate are serious red flags — most students who start here don't finish — so you'll want to ask hard questions about academic support and whether the programs align with your specific goals before committing.
