ABOUT BYU-IDAHO

From its founding as a pioneer academy
to the modern university it is today,
Brigham Young University-Idaho
continues to build upon a rich legacy
of progress and innovation. Guided by
its affiliation with The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints, BYU-Idaho
seeks to create a wholesome learning
environment in which students can
strengthen their commitment to the
gospel of Jesus Christ and receive a
quality education that prepares them for
leadership in their homes, the Church,
and their communities.
A comprehensive liberal arts,
professional, and scientific curriculum
is offered. As a two-tiered institution,
BYU-Idaho provides students with a

2

choice of over 20 associate degrees and
more than 90 bachelor’s degrees. These
degrees offer students specialization
in a major field of study, along with
a carefully selected curriculum of
general education.
BYU-Idaho’s academic offerings are
spread across six colleges: Agriculture
and Life Sciences, Business and
Communication, Education and
Human Development, Language and
Letters, Performing and Visual Arts,
and Physical Sciences and Engineering.
Faculty members in these various
departments are focused primarily
on the teaching and development of
students. Instructors also engage in
a variety of scholarly and research
activities to support their teaching.
The university operates year-

3

round on a three-track, three-
semester system: winter, spring, and
fall. Facilities are better utilized and
many more students are served by their
admission to a track composed of two of
the three semesters. In 2018, BYU-Idaho
served about 53,500 students online and
on campus in its associate and bachelor’s
degree programs.
Internships are a required component
for most majors at BYU-Idaho because
of the unparalleled leadership and
experiential learning opportunities they
provide. The university-wide internship
program is one of the largest providers
of interns in the nation, sending out
more than 4,200 students annually.
Students complement their academic
experience with leadership and
mentoring opportunities available
through the university’s Student

4

Activities Program. This student-run
program offers an array of year-round
activities in six core areas: outdoor,
service, talent, fitness, sports, and social.
Thousands of students are involved in
the Activities Program each semester.
BYU-Idaho students come from all
50 states and 123 countries. Married
students comprise approximately 30
percent of the on-campus student body.
About 56 percent of the students have
served as missionaries for The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,
bringing a unique level of maturity,
cultural diversity, and leadership ability
to the campus.
BYU-Idaho is the oldest continuously
operating institution of higher
education in Idaho. The university
was founded in 1888 as Bannock Stake

5

Academy with 59 students. In 1903, it
was named Ricks Academy in honor
of Thomas E. Ricks, a Church leader
who founded Rexburg and headed the
academy’s first Board of Education. In
1923, it became known as Ricks College,
which grew to become the largest
privately owned junior college in the
United States.
In 2000, leaders of The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
announced Ricks College would
transition from a two-year college
to a four-year university. Academic
programs were evaluated and
restructured, and the school officially
became Brigham Young University-
Idaho in 2001. BYU-Idaho is accredited
by the Northwest Commission on
Colleges and Universities.
