Worth considering if you're drawn to a small, tight-knit campus experience in Salt Lake City — with only 882 undergrads, you'll get real attention from faculty rather than disappearing in lecture halls. The financial picture is relatively manageable, with median debt of just $18,500 at graduation and median earnings of $58,100 a decade out, suggesting a decent return on investment. That said, a 69% graduation rate and 76% freshman retention signal that a meaningful number of students don't finish, so it's worth asking what support systems are in place before committing.
