What we see in the data
At Midwives College of Utah, net price is what families actually pay after grants and scholarships. For families in the $0–$30,000 income band, that was about $40K per year, higher than the median among private nonprofit colleges in Utah ($12K), and higher than the median among colleges nationwide ($15K).
Finish on time means completing within the normal time frame for the degree (for example, six years for a four-year bachelor's degree). About 40% of students finished on time, lower than the median among private nonprofit colleges in Utah (46%), and lower than the median among colleges nationwide (58%). That is lower than the 50% of full-time freshmen who returned for year 2.
Typical pay six years after starting was about $25K, lower than the median among private nonprofit colleges in Utah ($53K), and lower than the median among colleges nationwide ($36K). Graduates who borrowed had a median of about $8K in federal loan debt at graduation, about the same as the median among private nonprofit colleges in Utah ($8K), and lower than the median among colleges nationwide ($10K).
About 57% of students at Midwives College of Utah received federal Pell grants (a common proxy for lower family income). Most undergraduates attend part-time (83%), which can affect how long it takes to finish.
Pathways & Outcomes compares each school to Utah and national pathway medians using federal and state data. Numbers are school-wide averages — not every major or program. Small graduating classes may be hidden for privacy. Apprenticeships and some trade programs are not included.

What this means for you
These questions turn Midwives College of Utah's public data into a next step — not a ranking or a guarantee.

- Open the programs table for typical pay and debt in your field, not just school-wide numbers.
- Compare up to three schools side by side before you apply.
- Ask the financial aid office for net price at your family's income band — not sticker tuition.
- Ask whether students like yours typically finish on time and what they earn in your student's intended major.
