Brigham Young UniversityBrigham Young University is the largest private university in the United States with over 32,000 students. It is owned and operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints with a clear mission "to assist individuals in their quest for perfection and eternal life." Accordingly, there are four aims of a BYU education: (1) Spiritually Strengthening, (2) Intellectually Enlarging, (3) Character Building and (4) Leading to Lifelong Learning and Service. Upon entering BYU campus you are greeted with the message: "Enter to Learn, Go forth to Serve." This Learn Strategy site seeks consistency with BYU's message of service to the world. We hope to provide a useful resource that, in time, will be fully free to all individuals who hope to use it.
