Brigham Young University-Idaho (BYU-Idaho, or BYUI) is a four-year university owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("LDS Church"; see also Mormon), located in Rexburg, Idaho. Originally known as Bannock Stake Academy, it was begun on November 12, 1888. This university has undergone many name changes. In 1898 it became the Fremont Stake Academy, and Ricks Academy in 1903 in honor of Thomas E. Ricks. In 1917 the name evolved even more, becoming Ricks Normal College, and in 1923 became Ricks College. On August 10, 2001 it became Brigham Young University-Idaho.

BYU-Idaho is not a branch campus or extension of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, but rather is a sister school with its own administration and policies. BYU-Idaho does, however, share many policies with BYU in Utah and BYU-Hawaii, including a strict honor code.

Some features that make BYU-Idaho distinct are:

  • A year-round, three-track system
    • Under this system, students are admitted on one of three tracks: fall/winter, winter/summer, or summer/fall. Each student is entitled to enroll in classes during the semesters indicated, but are typically barred from taking regular classes during their "off-track" semester. This allows many more students to attend, and summer attendance has increased significantly since the system was introduced.
  • No "publish or perish" requirement for faculty
  • Certain portions of the Honor Code
    • Example: Wearing shorts and flip-flops is permitted on the Provo campus, but forbidden on the Rexburg campus.
