We are a private, self-reliant, residential university aligned with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its principles and values.

Our mission is to gather faithful Latter-day Saints and like-minded students, lift them in intellect, character, and spirituality, and launch them into successful lives and careers.

This catalog is descriptive and is not to be construed as a legal contract. Records of changes are on file and available for examination in the Provost’s Office.

In the event of a conflict between this catalog and board policy, the board’s policy prevails.
