Brigham Young University-Idaho, located in the small southeastern Idaho city of Rexburg, operates under the ownership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The campus spans 430 acres at the base of the Teton Mountains, featuring modern academic facilities and student housing designed to accommodate its large residential student population. Originally established in 1888 as Ricks Academy, the institution transitioned to a four-year university in 2001 and maintains selective admissions standards for church members and non-members alike. The university offers comprehensive undergraduate programs with particular emphasis in business, education, agriculture, and computer science, structured around a distinctive three-track system that enables year-round attendance. All enrolled students adhere to the university's honor code, which includes specific dress and behavior standards, while residing either in on-campus housing or approved off-campus apartments in the Rexburg area.
