Review & Rating
Withholding federal funds from me because of a policy that should be rescinded.
I have been to 3 different universities and one technology college in all my studies. LDSBC is by far the best experience and value for a major that I have found. The teachers are so inspirational and helpful.
Couldn't have asked for a better college experience! The teachers are fantastic and always care about their students and how they can help them through classes. The school is good about finding students jobs on campus or through the church if they need financial assistance. There are also a lot of scholarships available which is really helpful, just apply early because some are on a first come first serve basis. I love this college, the education I received, and the friends I have made while I've been here! I highly recommend this school!!

Seriously the only downfall being no facial hair, regardless of how sharp and good looking you can grow a beard its culturally unacceptable and against policy.
Speaking as a student in his final semester, this school needs some help. The teachers that have jobs elsewhere, bring a greater perspective to each class studied; but the full time staff are very outdated. Most have been out of the workforce for well over 10 years, and are teaching from older materials. The student staff need better training and seem to just not care; trying to get you out of their way as fast as possible, without resolving the issue until it is too late and then saying they told you. Let me be clear; an email is not the best way to communicate any important information. No one but LDSBC employees live at their computers, looking for emails. We have real lives, with second and sometimes even third jobs. It also doesn’t help when you are unable to email my primary mode of email, which I noted on the first day of school. If you do poorly in a class (which happened to me, my fault I know) they interrogate you and make it more difficult to take the class again.By the way, if I’M paying YOU for a class, or service, don’t make it difficult to spend MY money! It seems all this school is worried about is forging their approval and graduation ratings, instead of actually helping students get the education they need. So shameful.
I’ve been recommending this college to many of my friends. Here’s a few reasons why: (1) It’s a small environment. This means the teachers and professors know you personally. That helped me out. (2) It’s an LDS school that values God in each class and starts each class with a prayer. If you’re Mormon or not, religious or not, it has a very uplifting environment. All are welcome to attend. (3) It’s relatively inexpensive. (4) The IT department is extremely hands on. Though I don’t care for the certificates, the courses are designed to teach through experience. This is what drew me in from UNLV. (5) It’s location is downtown SLC. (6) Devotionals are held on Temple Square.
I want to start off by saying I have been graduated from LDSBC for over 2 years and to this day my frustration for this school remains. I went there for 2 years and ended up with 2 degrees. My first year things went pretty smooth, classes were nice and tuition was reasonable. On my second to last semester I met with a councilor to make sure I had taken every class needed for my 2 degrees. She told me I was good to go. I submitted my classes and was told I qualified to graduate on my goal semester. I graduated and was sent my diploma about a month and a half later. About a year after that I applied for a job that included a background check and informed me that LDS Business College said I did not graduate and was short 1 credit. Thats right ONE CREDIT. Not a class. A credit. HOW? I called the school myself and emailed them a picture of my diploma. After about 3 hours on the phone they found some error in my record and sent me 3 new diplomas. Don't ask me what Im going to do with 4 diplomas but they sent them. I think the teachers are great and its a good transition school but THE STUDENTS WORKING AT THE SCHOOL are really poor. Having been at a 4 year university for several semesters I can say my registration, financial aid, cashiers office, or anything that comes close to touching my ability to graduate has only been handled by adults who take their jobs seriously.
There are few things I love more than LDSBC (GO LIONS) and before you ask anything, yes there is a mascot and it is the mighty and proud Lion. This college is amazing and can give you a lot of great connections if you work it right.
THIS IS A TECH SCHOOL DON'T BE FOOLED, YOUR DEGREE IS NOT THE SAME AS WHAT YOU ARE EXPECTING. I tried finding jobs with the degree they offer and no one takes it, it's practically meaningless. Trying to transfer your credits out it's such a hassle since it seems that the student workers have no idea what they're doing.
This review is for the admissions office and student employees. Student employees are completely incompetent. After 5 months of being graduated I still haven't received my diploma. I called in and was told the process takes 2-3 months.. After several calls I get the same answer, "it'll be here this week". Well now that has been 2 months I am frustrated and upset with the employees. This is a wonderful school, but I don't understand why employees lie and are not diligent in their work. Teachers and programs are absolutely amazing, the student employees are the only down fall of this College. I am still in the process of getting my diploma and I have been waiting to hear back from the supervisor for a couple weeks (surprise, nothing has happened).
