FAFSA earnings check

: Not flagged

Ensign College does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $61,750, above the $38,052 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Utah.

This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics

Studying online: most students study entirely online

In Fall 2023, 4,299 of Ensign College's 5,973 students (72%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 910 (15%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.

Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

Frequently asked questions

About Ensign College

Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.

Where is Ensign College located?
Ensign College is located in Salt Lake City, UT, in the United States.
What type of institution is Ensign College?
Ensign College is a private university based in UT. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
Is Ensign College open admission?
Yes. Ensign College reports an open admission policy to the federal IPEDS survey (IPEDS, admission policy reported in the 2024-25 IC collection), which IPEDS defines as accepting any student who applies. Individual programs, often nursing and other health programs, can still set their own entry requirements, so check the program you want with the college.
What is the tuition at Ensign College?
Ensign College's published in-state tuition is approximately $4,004 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
How many students attend Ensign College?
Ensign College reports total enrollment of approximately 7,594 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
How much does Ensign College actually cost after financial aid?
The average net price at Ensign College is approximately $10,824 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $10,436 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $14,145. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
What is the graduation rate at Ensign College?
Ensign College reports a graduation rate of approximately 43% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
How much do graduates of Ensign College earn?
Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $50,630 for students who received federal financial aid at Ensign College. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
How should I verify final details about Ensign College?
CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Ensign College.
Does Ensign College get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Ensign College's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $61,750, above the $38,052 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Utah, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
