Guided by its affiliation with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, BYU–Idaho seeks to create a wholesome learning environment in which students can strengthen their commitment to the gospel of Jesus Christ and receive a quality education that prepares them for leadership in the home, the community, and the workplace. A comprehensive liberal arts, professional, and scientific curriculum is offered. As a two-tiered institution, BYU–Idaho provides students with a choice of over twenty associate degrees and nearly 80 bachelor’s degrees. Associate degrees offer students specialization in a major field of study along with a carefully selected curriculum of general education. Specialized bachelor’s degrees focus on a specific discipline, while integrated bachelor’s degrees allow students to incorporate other related fields of study into their chosen major. BYU–Idaho’s academic offerings are spread across six colleges: Agriculture and Life Sciences, Business and Communication, Education and Human Development, Language and Letters, Performing and Visual Arts, and Physical Sciences and Engineering. Faculty members in these various departments are focused primarily on the teaching and development of students. Instructors also engage in a variety of scholarly and research activities to support their teaching. The university operates year round on a three-track, three-semester system: winter, spring, and fall. Facilities are better utilized and many more students are served by their admission to a track composed of two of the three semesters.

  • Gathering Together in the Latter Days” Sister Jean B
    “Gathering Together in the Latter Days” Sister Jean B. Bingham, Relief Society general president Sister Sharon Eubank, first counselor, Relief Society general presidency This address was given Friday, May 1, 2020 at the BYU Women’s Conference © 2020 by Brigham Young University Women’s Conference All rights reserved. For further information, write: BYU Women’s Conference 253 Harman Continuing Education Building Provo, Utah 84602 801-422-7692 Email: [email protected] Website: womensconference.byu.edu SISTER JEAN B. BINGHAM: It is so wonderful to meet with you in this format! We are living examples of the power of gathering despite challenging times. In these past two years, much has been said about gathering Israel on both sides of the veil. In October 2018, President Russell M. Nelson invited every woman to “shape the future by helping to gather Israel.” He reiterated what he had said to the youth the previous June when he declared that “this gathering is the greatest challenge, the greatest cause, and the greatest work on earth today!” What does that mean: “gathering Israel?” Israel is a name for God’s covenant people. That is us—and many others scattered throughout the world who are willing to follow the teachings of the restored gospel and example of Jesus Christ. “Gathering Israel” simply means bringing yourself, your family and other loved ones—either living now or who have passed to the other side of the veil—closer to our Heavenly Father and His Son, our Redeemer. The goal is to unite families who are prepared to live with Them eternally.
