Brigham Young University

Mormons looking for an education don't have to look far -- they can go to Brigham Young University (BYU), where they can get schooling based on the values of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (also known as the Mormons). Through about a dozen colleges, the Mormon-owned university offers bachelor's degrees in some 185 academic programs, master's in nearly 65, doctorates in another 25, and a juris doctorate. Its enrollment includes about 33,000 students, with more than 98% identifying themselves as Mormon; the student/teacher ratio is 20-to-1. BYU was founded in 1875 by Brigham Young, who led some 3,500 church members fleeing religious persecution to found their own settlement in Salt Lake City.
