It is accredited by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, by the Utah State Board of Education and is a member of the National Commission on Accrediting. Credits earned at the College of Eastern Utah are transferable to other institutions of higher learning in the United States. At Utah's youngest community college, numerous changes have occurred over the last 67 years. Since 1937 we have grown from Carbon College, with an enrollment of 146, to College of Eastern Utah, with an enrollment of over 3200 students. In the early years by an act of the Utah State legislature we were under the Utah State Board of Education. In 1959, the college became a branch of the University of Utah. In 1965 we became College of Eastern Utah, and four years later our relationship with the University of Utah was terminated. As a result of the 1969 Higher Education Act, we became a full-fledged member of the Utah State System of Higher Education. Our primary campuses are located in Price and Blanding, with a college center in Castle Dale. The Price campus has over 16 buildings. The campus settings are extraordinary.
