School Description

Provided by Brigham Young University- Idaho

From its earliest years as a pioneer academy to the modern university we know today, BYU-Idaho has enjoyed a rich heritage of sacrifice, service, improvement, and innovation.

Guided by its affiliation with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, BYU-Idaho seeks to develop students who are faithful disciples and capable leaders.

This historic institution is embarked on a journey of growth and progress that began with the divinely inspired decision to transform Ricks College into a four-year university. Since then, BYU-Idaho has broken new ground in higher education with unique academic offerings, creative calendaring, and programs focused on the development of students. BYU-Idaho is truly rethinking education and our young people are always at the center of those efforts.

Spend just a few moments at Brigham Young University-Idaho and you will likely notice the presence of a unique spirit that makes the campus unusually warm and welcoming. It is called the "Spirit of Ricks" and is a treasured campus tradition of service, hard work, friendliness, and compassion. It is a characteristic that has defined this campus since its earliest days, and is one of the most inviting aspects of studying at BYU-Idaho.

Approximately 12,000 students attend BYU-Idaho, hailing from all 50 states and more than 60 countries. About half of the student body has served as full-time missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and over one-fourth are married.

All BYU-Idaho students agree to live by a Code of Honor that reflects the beliefs and teachings of the Church. The Code of Honor emphasizes being honest, living a chaste life, abstaining from alcohol and tobacco, using clean language, and following other values encompassed in the doctrines of the Church. The code includes additional guidelines on dress and grooming.

Weekly campus devotionals provide students and employees with spiritually uplifting messages from Church leaders and other speakers. The student population is organized into a number of campus stakes and wards, providing Sunday services and ecclesiastical leadership.

Brigham Young University- Idaho

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Brigham Young University–Idaho (also known as BYU–Idaho or BYU–I) is a four-year private university owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) located in Rexburg, Idaho, USA. The school was founded in 1888 as the Bannock Stake Academy and would later be known as Ricks Normal College (1917-1923) and eventually Ricks College (1923-2001) before transitioning from a junior college to a four-year institution in 2001 as BYU-Idaho. It is part of the Church Educational System of the LDS Church, and is a sister school (not a branch or satellite campus) of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah; Brigham Young University Hawaii in Laie, Hawaii; and the LDS Business College in Salt Lake City.

BYU-I is led by President Kim B. Clark and its motto is "Rethinking Education," reflecting the change to four-year status and other innovations used by the school such as the three-track semester system. The school draws students from all fifty U.S. states and several other countries, the vast majority of whom are members of the LDS Church—99.7% of the student body during the Fall 2007 semester.

History

The Bannock and Fremont Stake Academies

On November 12, 1888, the LDS Church created Bannock Stake Academy in Rexburg. The precursor to BYU-Idaho, like several other colleges and universities across the mountain west, was established as a "stake academy" first, as Mormon settlers colonized the eastern Snake River Plain in the 1880s. As a stake academy, its purpose was that of a modern secondary school as public schools had not yet been established. As the population grew, it became necessary to divide the geographical area designated by the LDS Church as the Bannock Stake. Fremont Stake was created, and thus in 1898 the school was renamed the Fremont Stake Academy.

Ricks College

In 1903, the school was renamed again as Ricks Academy in honor of Thomas E. Ricks, the Bannock Stake president at the time it was founded and the chairman of the school's first Board of Education. By the early twentieth century, stake academies had largely been discontinued as public schools became more established in the western United States. Ricks Academy survived as it had added a year of college work to its curriculum and in 1917 was granted state certification, which allowed graduates to teach in the state of Idaho. At that point, it was known as Ricks Normal College with George S. Romney as its first President. In 1923 it was renamed Ricks College and functioned as a two-year junior college. It would serve as a junior college for most of the remainder of the twentieth century, except for a brief period from 1948-1956 when it operated as a four-year institution.

Question: Which is Better, BYU-Provo or BYU-Idaho? (Brigham Young University)?

I am trying to make a decision between BYU-Provo and BYU-Idaho as a good college to go to, that is also a little less expensive. IN my research, I have found that BYU-I costs less but is farther away from Sacramento, CA, where my family lives. BYU-I is located in Rexburg, Idaho, and I don't know what the roads are like there. I also come from a small school, and I don't want to make to huge of a jump from a tiny school, to a HUGE college campus. I don't really care about sports Either. I scored a 27 on the ACT and my current unweighted GPA is 3.7. I plan on majoring in Business Management. I am looking for advice from people who have attended BYU Provo and Idaho, and I want to know what they liked so much about it, so that I can make an informed decision here. However, any and all advice would be welcome, providing it does not involve bashing on the LDS/Mormon religion, as everyone knows these are LDS/Mormon schools.

Question: about appying to BYU-Idaho?

I am thinking to apply to Brigham Young University- Idaho in the USA. It seems to be affiliated with the Church and as i hear from people, the university prefers people related to christianity. I know nothing about Christianity as i am a hindu. The university price is very suitabe to me. I am thinking to do a bachelors also taking pre-dentistry from there. I aim to apply to dental school later on. Do you think i should actually spend my money and time applying to BYU-Idaho?? will they accept me even though i have no idea about church and things?? having experience with christianity is one of the factors for admission criteria, as listed on their website. but the admissions office says i dont need to have anything like that. obviously , they say this because they want the application fee! what should i do?? Also, is this university really good? how accredited is this? do i stand any chance for getting into dental school if i study here?? i really need ur help. thanks.

Im currently a Senior at BYU-Idaho.. and I LOVE IT!! They accept people who are not LDS. The only thing is that you have to accept to follow the Honor Code, which to most people looks like a bunch of rules, but it really is just a good clean of life!! Rexburg, where its located is kind of a small town, and it gets really cold here durring the winters, so if you don't like the cold.. dont go here!! I love this school, and would love to tell you more about it if you want!! you can email me if you want more info: syn03001@byui.edu ps.. i know of alot of people who have gone on to dental school from here. they have an amazing program and really help you to get where you want to go
