The Institute of Religion is a collegiate level religious program where young adults ages 18-30 can attend classes weekly for 12 years of their life to draw closer to their Savior Jesus Christ. Classes are offered M-F in various locations, based on all books of scripture, teachings of modern-day prophets and church history. This program helps all young adults follow President Russell M. Nelson’s invitation to “Hear Him” on a daily basis and to learn ways to “Let God Prevail” in their life. Everyone is welcome, any faith, any gender, single and married, 18-30 years old. Come anytime and as often as you can. You are wanted here.
Anyone ages 18-30 are welcome to join any Institute Class at anytime. If you’re interested in teaching seminary or improving your teaching, see FAQ on “What is Seminary Preservice?” below. For questions about Pathways, see “About Pathways” below.

Transcripts must be requested through the main office either in person or via “Request a Transcript” under the graduation tab. See “How do I get my transcript sent to another school” below.
Even if you graduate, you can still attend through the semester in which you turn 31. To graduate, you need 8 cornerstone credits and 6 elective credits for a total of 14 credits. Come to the office for help with all things graduation!
