Questions? We Have Answers.
Can I take BYU classes without being a BYU degree-seeking student?

Yes. That's exactly what the visiting students program is for. You'll take classes here, but your degree will come from your home institution.

How many classes can I take?

As many as you need. There's no cap on the number of courses you can complete as a visiting student.

Will BYU have the prerequisite courses I need?

Most likely. BYU offers thousands of courses across nearly every discipline. Our advisors can help you match your requirements to what's available.

How much does it cost?

Students with a bachelor's degree pay BYU's graduate tuition rate. Students without a degree pay the undergraduate rate.

Do I need to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints?

No. Students of all backgrounds are welcome, though all visiting students follow BYU's Honor Code.

How long does the application take?

About 20 minutes. It's free, and you don't need to submit transcripts—just self-report your academic history.
