"We are trying an experiment here. We think this school is different from any other university in America. I submit that this campus, with its adjoining buildings, may literally offer a foretaste of heaven."
- President Gordon B. Hinckley
Rethinking education

Welcome to 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.
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.
