About Ensign College

In the heart of Salt Lake City's business district, Ensign College pairs career-focused coursework with a values-centered community. Classes emphasize practical skills in areas like business, technology, design, and communication. Students use updated labs, studios, and quiet study spaces, and rely on advising, tutoring, and a career center that coaches resumes, interviews, and internships.

Student life blends clubs, service, guest speakers, and quick access to city arts, pro sports, and mountain trails. The culture feels close-knit, professional, and purpose-driven, with a reputation for integrity and service. Being downtown connects students with employers, nonprofits, and startups, so networking feels natural. And it's easy to slip from class to an interview down the block.
