Brigham Young University . Byu Organization and administration

Brigham Young University is a part of the Church Educational System of LDS Church. It is organized under a Board of Trustees, with the President of the Church (Thomas S. Monson as of 2011) as chairman. This board consists of the same people as Church Board of Education which oversees the entire Church Educational System, a pattern that has been in place since 1939. Before that BYU had a separate board of trustees that was subordinate to the Church Board of Education.^[83] The President of BYU, currently Cecil O. Samuelson, works in cooperation with the board.^[84]
The university operates under 11 colleges or schools, which collectively offer 194 bachelor's degree programs, 68 master's degree programs, 25 Ph.D. programs, and a Juris Doctor program.^[85] BYU also manages some courses and majors through the David M. Kennedy Center for International Studies^[86] and "miscellaneous" college departments, including Undergraduate Education,^[87] Graduate Studies,^[88] Independent Study,^[89] Continuing Education,^[90] and the Honors Program.^[91] BYU's Winter semester ends earlier than most universities in April since there is no Spring break, thus allowing students to pursue internships and other summer activities earlier.^[92] A typical academic year is broken up into two semesters: Fall (September–December) and Winter (January–April), as well as two shorter terms during the summer months: Spring (May–June) and Summer (July–August)

Brigham Young University (often referred to as BYU) is the flagship^[6][7][8] university of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon Church). Located in Provo, Utah, in the United States, it is America's largest religious university and fourth-largest private university.^[9][10]
Approximately 98% of the university's 34,000 students are members of the LDS (Mormon) Church, and one-third of its American students come from within the state of Utah.^[11] BYU students are required to follow an honor code, which mandates behavior in line with LDS teachings (e.g., academic honesty, adherence to dress and grooming standards, and abstinence from extramarital sex and from the consumption of drugs and alcohol).^[12] Many students (78% of men, 10% of women) take a two-year hiatus from their studies at some point to serve as Mormon missionaries.^[13][14] Many BYU students speak foreign languages during their Mormon missions, and approximately 31% of the student body enroll in foreign language courses, making it one of the most linguistic universities in the United States.^[15] A BYU education is also less expensive than at similar private universities^[16] since approximately 70% of tuition is funded by LDS Church tithing funds.^[17]
BYU offers programs in liberal arts, engineering, agriculture, management, and law. The university is broadly organized into 11 colleges or schools at its main Provo campus, with certain colleges and divisions defining their own admission standards. The university also administers two satellite campuses, one in Jerusalem and one in Salt Lake City, while its parent organization, the Church Educational System, sponsors sister schools in Hawaii and Idaho. The university's primary focus is on undergraduate education, but it also has 68 master's and 25 doctoral degree programs.
BYU's athletic teams compete in Division I of the NCAA and are collectively known as the BYU Cougars. They are independent in football, with other sports in the West Coast Conference and MPSF, and have won ten national championships.
