Salt Lake Community College is a public community college founded in 1948 and serving the Salt Lake Valley across multiple campuses throughout Salt Lake County. With approximately 27,400 enrolled students, SLCC is one of the largest community colleges in the Intermountain West and a critical gateway to higher education, workforce training, and university transfer for students across the region. The college offers more than 120 programs of study including associate degrees, technical certificates, and workforce development credentials in healthcare, information technology, business, engineering technology, education, visual arts, culinary arts, and the liberal arts. SLCC's open admissions policy and resident tuition of just $4,426 per year make it one of the most affordable and accessible pathways to higher education in Utah. Graduates benefit from SLCC's location in Salt Lake City, home to a booming technology and life sciences sector, major healthcare systems, financial services, government, and outdoor recreation industries. The college's 10-year median graduate earnings of $42,000 are particularly impressive given that most completers hold associate degrees. SLCC's Bruins compete in NJCAA athletics in basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball, and softball. A growing international student community of over 400 students from approximately 50 countries adds global diversity to SLCC's accessible, community-focused campus environment.
