Based out of Salt Lake City, the Midwives College of Utah is an online midwife training academy and one of the largest out-of-hospital midwifery schools in the United States. MCU’s Midwifery program confers associate, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees. In addition to online coursework, MCU also employs a number of midwives throughout the country as field faculty to oversee clinical experience for students. To provide additional academic support and create a sense of community, all online students are grouped into “houses” and provided a “house mother” to guide them through their classes and training.
