Can anyone be accepted into that program?

Pretty sure... But without looking it up again I am suddenly doubting myself.

Is acceptance automatic? Also, it would help if he could get something saying he

Had a UofU student tell me professors were open in their attacks on the Church.

He's interested in BYU-I. Great option. Mom is super against BYU-I so we'll see.
