BYU Pathways is for this purpose, but the Church will always emphasize higher education

BYU Pathways will take higher education to the world, but BYU will always be the ambassador and centerpiece. I would imagine that BYU will get bigger going forward. The Church is trying to course-correct its high admission standards, as they are also seeing that BYU-Idaho is not a viable replacement for this.

Pathway is a great new option, but real physical campuses in some areas would

Point taken for not mentioning BYU Pathway — but I'm not sure it's really the change I'm talking about

Have you heard of Pathways?

If only there were a Path or Way towards education of the masses?

In case you haven't heard, there's the Pathways program.

Why do you think the church will always want/need a "centerpiece" for its education system?

Bobber

11/27/23 10:32am

Because they have said as much

2FarGone

Then I'm curious why they think so

IMO the church should add another BYU and do so rather soon but I think they are years from actually doing it.

Until BYU-I literally can't handle another student, that won't happen.

mudpupper

11/27/23 9:47am

I actually think this might happen

2FarGone

11/27/23 9:48am

Well that will be too late. You kind of need to anticipate the need and be proactive about it.

Baron

11/27/23 9:49am

I think we're closer to that than you realize.

TailgateU

11/27/23 9:55am

I doubt the church will ever add another BYU.

11/27/23 9:48am

I think BYU is probably the most profitable investment the church has.

Baron

IDK how accurate this is, but r/BYU posted this 9 months ago

So I have some questions about that analysis but it concludes the same thing I do:

By those numbers, BYU-Hawaii is the one that should be capped/done away if any

Yes, next to the temples.

When you consider how much greater earning potential is from well-educated

Why does everyone always add an "s" to Pathway? It's BYU Pathway.

Good question, but guilty as charged — fixed

But if all the teaching is online, what is the benefit of a physical university?

Bobber

11/27/23 1:25pm

Demand to have a physical location will stop an all online university. BYU

Thrill

Agree demand is still significant, but it's definitely falling

BYU Independent Study has a HUGE enrollment.

The BYU IS homepage says 2M+ enrollments
