  • Number of Appliants and Accepted Students 250
    Dixie State University Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree Differential Tuition Section I: Request A new Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree was approved by the Board of Regents on March, 2017. In order to support its objective to provide a top-quality education to students in the nursing program, Dixie State University’s College of Health Science Nursing Department request the upper division courses for this program adopt differential tuition. Rationale for the differential tuition of $75 for each upper division credit hour is twofold. First, the increased resources bring us in line with resources spent per student at other Utah state universities. If we hope to keep our promise of providing a top-tier quality nursing education to our students, we must have the resources to restructure the program and hire a simulation lab manager. Last, our student’s net out of pocket expenses (defined as tuition less scholarship dollars) still make DSU’s nursing program a value among peer institutions. Section II: Student and Market Demand for the Program Student demand for the nursing program at Dixie State University has always been strong as evidenced by there are more applicants for the program than the allotted slots. Support for the change from an Associate Degree program to a pre-licensure Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing program is evidenced by a request and support from Dixie Regional Medical Center. The number of applicants and accepted students for the past 5 years is depicted in the following table. Number of Appliants and Accepted Students 250 200 150 100 50 0 2012-2013 2013-2014 2014-2015 2015-2016 2016-2017 # of Applicants # Accepted Further evidence of a strong market demand is the Utah Nursing Consortium, of which DSU is a member, reports that more that 1000 qualified applicants are turned away from Utah nursing programs each year.

  • Employer Surveys - 2016
    EMPLOYER SURVEYS - 2016 Introduction Every three years, UVU conducts two employer surveys: one survey specifically of employers of recent UVU graduates, the other survey more generally of employers across the state. Institutional Research & Information conducted the most recent iterations of these surveys in 2016. This report summarizes our findings, including significant differences from the last time we conducted these surveys in 2013. We spoke with 277 employers of UVU graduates and 351 general employers. Key Findings 61% of employers view UVU’s quality of education as either Very Good or Good and 82% are either Very Likely or Likely to hire a UVU graduate. UVU is tied as the fourth best university in Utah in terms of quality of education. On-Campus recruiting has increased by 10% since 2013. Employers of UVU graduates were asked to rate their graduate’s skill and knowledge in certain areas of their work and how important those skills are to that job. The categories rated highest in importance also had the highest skill and knowledge. The majority of employers rated their satisfaction with UVU graduate’s work habits as very satisfied or satisfied. EMPLOYER SURVEYS - 2016 Overall Quality The majority of respondents claim that they are either very likely or likely to hire UVU graduates (82%). Most employers in Utah give an assessment of UVU’s quality of education as either very good or good (61%). The remaining respondents either rated UVU’s quality of education as satisfactory (5%) or claimed they didn’t know (35%). UVU Compared to Other Schools On average, employers ranked UVU’s quality of education as lower than U of U, BYU and USU.

    Four Snow VB Players Commit to Play for Four-Year Schools Photo caption: Snow College volleyball players (l-r) Annie Smoot (Montana Tech), Nicole Koehler (Dixie State), Katie Vincent (High Point) and Amy Sorensen (Oregon State) sign Letters of Intent to play volleyball next season. The four sophomores helped lead the Lady Badgers to a 16-9 record in 2012, defeating four Top 20 teams along the way. EPHRAIM, Utah—A successful season has Snow College volleyball players heading north, south, east and west as four sophomores have committed to play at four-year schools on National Letter of Intent Day. They are Amy Sorensen who is heading west to play at Oregon State University (PAC-12, NCAA Div-I), Annie Smoot going north to Montana Tech (Frontier Conference, NAIA), Katie Vincent east to High Point University in North Carolina (Big South Conference, NCAA Div-I) and Nicole Koehler south to Dixie State University in St. George, Utah (PacWest, NCAA Div-II). Sorensen, a 6’0” outside hitter from Sandy, Utah, (Jordan HS) was named as an NJCAA Second Team All- American following the Lady Badgers’ 16-9 season. Sorensen led the Badgers in both kills (278) and digs (222) as a sophomore. Oregon State (Corvallis, Ore.) was 14-18 overall last season, and managed only 4-16 in the PAC-12. But the Beavers are a young squad with only one senior on this year’s roster. Smoot, 5’11” outside hitter from Holladay, Utah, (Olympus HS) will be playing for the Ore Diggers of Montana Tech of The University of Montana located in Butte.
