Located on airport hill in sunny St. George, the Dixie Technical College is one of eight regional colleges that comprise the Utah System of Technical Colleges. Dixie Tech is the premier college for skill and competency based training in Washington County.

Dixie Tech was created during a special session of the Utah State Legislature in 2001 through House Bill 1003 which created the Utah System of Technical Colleges and its regional campuses: Bridgerland, Davis, Dixie, Mountainland, Ogden-Weber, Tooele, Southwest , and Uintah Basin. The UTSC Board of Trustees provides oversight and governs the activities of the eight campuses.
