Brigham Young University - Provo

Brigham Young University seeks to develop students of faith, intellect, and character who have the skills and desire to continue learning and to serve others throughout their lives. The Aims of the university education provides greater detail as to how the intellectual range of it’s education is the result of an ambitious commitment to pursue truth. From an international perspective, the skills, breadth, and depth acquired through academics include a global perspective with regard to the restored gospel and other religious traditions, the development of human civilization, non-western arts and letters, and informed awareness of the people’s cultures, languages, and nations of the world.

The mission of Brigham Young is to assist individuals in their quest for perfection and eternal life. That assistance should provide a period of intensive learning in a stimulating setting where a commitment to excellence is expected and the full realization of human potential is pursued. All instruction, programs, and services at BYU, including a wide variety of extracurricular experiences, should make own contribution toward the balanced development of the total person. Such a broadly prepared individual will not only be capable of meeting personal challenge and change but will also bring strength to others in the tasks of home and family life, social relationships, civic duty, and service to mankind.
