Brigham Young University–Idaho

Brigham Young University–Idaho (BYU–Idaho or BYUI) is a private college in Rexburg, Idaho. Founded 137 years ago in 1888, the college is owned and operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Previously known as Ricks College, it transitioned from a junior college to a baccalaureate institution in 2001.

The college's focus is on undergraduate education. When it transitioned to a baccalaureate institution in 2001, BYU-Idaho offered about 50 bachelor's degrees and 19 associate degrees. As of 2024, the institution offers 102 bachelor's degrees (5 of which are online), 22 associate degrees, and 6 other online degrees. It operates on a three-semester system known as "tracks." The college is broadly organized into 35 departments within six colleges.

Its parent organization, the Church Educational System (CES), sponsors three sister schools—Brigham Young University, Brigham Young University–Hawaii, and Ensign College—as well as the educational organizations Seminaries and Institutes of Religion and BYU-Pathway Worldwide. Clark Gilbert, the CES commissioner, said that each CES higher educational organization has a distinctive role and strategy, with BYU-Idaho being "the teacher".

The vast majority of students are Latter-day Saints. All students attending BYU–Idaho agree to follow an honor code that mandates behavior in line with the church's teachings. A significant percentage of students take an 18-month (women) or 24-month (men) hiatus from their studies to serve as missionaries. Tuition rates are generally lower than those at similar universities, due largely to funding provided by the church from tithing donations, various scholarships, financial aid, and on-campus student jobs.
