BYU Online Degrees

BYU Online Degrees from Brigham Young University (BYU) is located in Provo, Utah. It is owned and worked by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, otherwise called the Mormon Church. It is the third biggest private college in the United States. BYU offers an education thought to be keeping pace with Ivy League schools. The Mormons' accentuation on missions has prompted an emphasis on foreign languages, making BYU a standout amongst the most multilingual college universities worldwide. BYU has two other locations: one in Salt Lake City, Utah (BYU Continuing Education Salt Lake Center–for non-degree seeking students), and another in Jerusalem, Israel (Brigham Young University Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies), and in addition two sister schools in Rexburg, Idaho and Laie, Hawaii. BYU offers Bachelor's, Master's, Doctoral, and professional degrees.
