The University
B righam Young University offers an exceptional educational opportunity for the well-prepared graduate
student who is seeking an environment where learning experiences with dedicated scholars characterize
graduate study. Established and sponsored by The Church ofJesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, BYU is the
largest privately owned university in the United States. The university president, Cecil O. Samuelson, is direct-
ly responsible to the board of trustees, led by the president ofThe Church ofJesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
and composed of Church authorities. In a time of constantly changing human values and increased challenges
for higher education, BYU holds steadfastly to a singular vision that combines reasoned and revealed learning.
Along with extensive undergraduate programs, BYU offers master's and doctoral degrees in a variety of disci-
plines through fifty-three graduate departments. In addition, the Law School and the Marriott School of
Management offerjuris doctorate and master's graduate degrees.
Founded in 1875 as Brigham YoungAcademy, the campus has grown from one building to 500 buildings on
more than 600 acres. Its first class oftwenty-nine students was taught by the academy's founding scholar, Karl
G. Maeser. Now more than 1,500 full-time faculty instruct 33,000 students. From its modest beginnings
Brigham Young University has grown to become a distinguished institution of private higher education. At
BYU teaching and scholarly research are valued as essential complements of one another. Faculty and students
work side by side in collegial scholarship enhanced by mutual commitment to the highest ideals of
professional ethics and spiritual values.
Situated at the foot of the beautifully rugged Wasatch Range of the Rocky Mountains and bounded on the
west by twenty-three-mile-long Utah Lake, the campus is the focal point of a city of 110,000 and a valley of
331,000. Beyond it to the south and east are spectacular areas ofvast sandstone canyons and monoliths, several
of which are national parks. Forty-five miles north is Salt Lake City.
The faculty at BYU have been schooled at some of the leading universities of the nation as well as ofother
countries, and many of them have achieved national and international prominence as teachers and scholars.

From the President

W
ELCOME to the university and to graduate study with programs designed to provide you with
enriching experiences that expand your ability to make a difference in the world. In many ways,
—
graduate study sets the expectations and standards at a university the depth of disciplinary knowledge, the
breadth of scientific and creative discovery, and the rigor and virtue of individual and collective investment.
Through graduate study you become not only a consumerbut also a contributor to the world's store of
knowledge, be it artistic or scientific, applied or theoretical. At the graduate level, teacher and student work
as partners in these important endeavors.
This catalog contains information about BYU's degree requirements, policies, and course offerings, as well
as its distinctive mission. I hope the resources available to you on this campus guide your efforts to observe
more keenly, to contemplate more deeply, to see more insightfully, and to enjoy more thoroughly your study
at BYU.
