The following is a news release from Brigham Young University-Idaho.

REXBURG — The largest incoming class in Brigham Young University-Idaho history is heading to the books in Rexburg, marking a significant increase in the number of campus students this semester.

Statistics released for the fall 2024 semester show a total on-campus enrollment of 24,111 students, which is an increase of 3.4% from the fall 2023 semester. This number includes 19,388 on-campus students enrolled in face-to-face courses and 4,723 on-campus students enrolled in online courses and/or internships. The university estimates there are approximately 21,000 students living in Rexburg this semester.

This semester, the student population on campus consists of 11,849 male students and 12,262 female students (49% and 51% percent, respectively). The total number of married students is 5,068, or 21 percent of the total student population on campus.

This semester, more than 8,000 students participated in New Student Orientation Fall 2024, an increase of four times the number of students who participated in Fall 2023. This achievement is largely due to the efforts of BYU-Idaho’s First-Year Experience Office , which was founded in 2022 to help first-year students succeed in their transition to college, focusing on the overall student experience by supporting students individually.

In addition, BYU-Idaho has 21,473 online students served in partnership with BYU-Pathway Worldwide. This leads to a total of 45,584 students enrolled at BYU-Idaho for the fall 2024 semester.

Through its innovative three-track system, BYU-Idaho will serve 33,836 on-campus students in 2024 and an additional 29,793 online students through BYU-Pathway Worldwide.

BYU-Idaho continues to integrate its unique student and academic emphasis, including: its faculty’s educational focus, the opportunity to gather with other students who share common values, the university’s focus on real-world preparation, and a high-quality educational experience.
