Next on our lineup of college spotlights is LDS Business College, which is similar to Westminster is one way: people know the name, but not exactly why it is a college worth looking at. Hopefully this post helps with that.
LDS Business College is located in downtown Salt Lake City. It's not exactly a junior college, tech college, community college, or 4-year university. It's aim is entirely different: to help students earn certificates needed for the business world, and have them working by graduation date. And they help students reach that goal in 2 years! So, if time and money are primary concerns of yours AND these are fields you would look at anyway...this might be your perfect fit! Also, you can earn an Associate Degree so that if you do decide to transfer to a 4-year university, you have completed your Gen.Ed. Requirements (win-win). Here are 6 areas that their degrees and certificates fall into:
1. Business
2. Health Professions
3. Interior Design
4. IT & Computer Programming
5. Paralegal Studies
6. Social Media Marketing
As you may have guessed by the name, LDS Business College is one of the four colleges associated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (The other three are BYU, BYU-Idaho, and BYU-Hawaii). Because it is a "church" school and is financed by offerings given by members of the church, there is a different cost of attendance for those belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and those who do not. Whichever group you fall into, it's a bargain for a great education. Read more about the specific costs here. The Cost of LDSBC
Also, because it is a "church" school, students agree to a specific Honor Code if they attend, and also need to be interviewed by their church leader. LDS Church members receive an ecclesiastical endorsement through their local congregation leader, a Bishop. Non-LDS students can go to their own ecclesiastical leader for the first part of the interview, and then have the second portion completed by an LDS Bishop. LDS-Business is happy to have many students of other faiths study there, and if you want to attend but still have questions just check out the Enrollment Page online, or contact them at the Phone # provided.
The important fact to remember about LDSBC is that the goal is for every graduate to earn a job-specific certificate, earning a salary at the same level that they would with a similar 4-year degree. Again, if time and money for a 4-year degree seem unrealistic or simply undesirable, check out this option. It's worth a look: LDS Business College Website
