First off, Pathway was a waste of a year of schooling and the credits from it are useless anywhere but BYUI. BYUI online was a disappointment. While the instructors are generally good, support for online students is non-existant - you're on your own. It's nearly impossible to talk to a human and when you do, it's some fresh faced, clueless kid who is neither trained nor compensated but has been duped into volunteering. They lack real world experience and knowledge adequate to answer the most basic... Read More

I am a online student that studies that has taken the pathways program. The cost per credit is cheap(Under $100 per credit) that I do not need financial aid. The online courses are must easier than my high school class(1991 grad). Now hearing this, this college is for students who know what they want and are willing to work with the advisors. The students must plan for their classes themselves and are responsible for their work. If you can not plan and do the work then do not apply. The tech classes... Read More

Degree: Marriage & Family Therapy

We were ranked number one in the nations for research in the Marriage and Family Studies field, and it’s easy to see why. I feel I have an edge over the competition with the curriculum I’m given and the instructors I learn from. All are leaders in their field and are concerned about me personally, and ready to discuss and answer questions liberally. I would recommend this University to anyone.

I'm very pleased with the learning environment BYU-I provides to the on-campus and online students. The professors are experts in the field, caring, understanding of students situations, and more than willing to work with the students. The tutoring center has an amazing staff in all subjects to help students succeed. BYU-I programs are very affordable and have an abroad range of educational activities.

Im currently a sophomore doing BYUI online and all my instructors have been great. The online program is easy to use. I feel that the Marriage and Family Studies is great program that definitely prepares you for graduate school or a career after graduating. It is also very interesting and fun program that is really teaches deep stuff but is easy to learn with the way they have designed their courses. I definitely recommend BYUI online and the Marriage and Family Studies program.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at BYU-I. The professors were great. They were very helpful and available to answer any questions that I had. I attended online and found it to be an excellent way to complete my degree as I was a returning student. I had attended Ricks several years ago and was very happy to complete my degree where I had started.

I completed a BS Online through BYU-Idaho in Business Management. I highly recommend this degree to anyone who wants to finish their degree while still maintaining a full-time job. The professors know what they are doing and cater to your needs. The degree pushes you to have good communication with others as well as stay on top of your studies. It's your choice if you want to get something out of the degree, and by having it online, you don't have to worry about running to classes.

I'm taking part in BYU-I's online program. They offer full degrees online. It has been neat to participate in online discussions with classmates all over the U.S. (and some in other countries). The school has done a great job of making online instruction just as good as on-campus. I have been able to get hands-on experience.
