  Brigham Young University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brigham Young University, often referred to as "BYU" or, incorrectly, as "BYU-Provo," is the flagship university of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).
BYU was once the largest private university in the United States, but has since been surpassed by the nationwide University of Phoenix (240,000), which has campuses around the world; it remains one of the world's largest church-affiliated universities, with an enrollment of roughly 30,200 undergraduate students during the 2004-05 school year.
BYU is wholly owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the church provides it with a large subsidy from Latter-day Saint funds, providing roughly 70% of the cost of education at BYU.
