Dixie
State College of Utah
St. George, Utah
Dixie State College offers the best education under the sun. Approximately 4,600 students study in our unique programs that offer small classes and a personalized education. Because the quality is high and the cost is low, DSC is an outstanding value. Through both our baccalaureate and associate degree programs students are well prepared to meet their goals. Some go on to graduate school, others transfer, and some move right into their careers.
A recent survey showed that students choose Dixie for three reasons, all having to do with quality: Quality Education, Quality Scholarship Programs, and a Quality Location. 79% of last year's freshman class received financial aid. We're located in St. George, where the average winter temperature is over 55ºF. While students elsewhere are trudging to class through the snow, DSC students are studying outside on the lawn under a palm tree.
