Brigham Young University-Hawaii
Brigham Young University Hawaii is an accredited four-year undergraduate institution with 2,400 students from more than 70 countries. It is a unique multi-cultural campus where spiritual as well as academic learning is encouraged among the most "international" student body in the U.S. BYU-Hawaii students are fulfilling a phenomenon envisioned by the university's founder, David O. McKay, ninth president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In 1955, standing in an isolated field that would evolve into the beautiful campus of today, McKay declared: "From this school, I'll tell you, will go men and women whose influence will be felt for good towards the establishment of peace internationally."
