Brigham Young University
Brigham Young University, founded in 1875, is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and its Honor Code, which all students must agree to follow, includes specific dress and grooming standards along with prohibitions on alcohol, tobacco, and premarital sexual relationships. The university's extremely low tuition, subsidized substantially by the LDS Church for both member and non-member students, makes BYU one of the most affordable private research universities in the country, a distinctive funding model tied directly to the church's ownership. BYU's law school and its Marriott School of Business have built strong national reputations, and the university's foreign language programs are exceptionally deep, benefiting from the large proportion of students who've completed two-year church missions abroad and return to campus already fluent in a second language. The university's combination of religious institutional ownership, its strict honor code, and its unusually large body of returning-missionary students with existing foreign language fluency has made BYU one of the most institutionally distinctive large private universities in the country.
VS
University of Utah
The University of Utah, founded in 1850, is the state's flagship public research university, and its computer science department pioneered some of the earliest computer graphics research in the world during the 1960s and '70s, training a generation of engineers who went on to found companies including Adobe, Netscape, and Pixar. The university's medical center performed the world's first artificial heart transplant in 1982, implanting the Jarvik-7 device developed at the university, giving Utah a founding role in one of the most significant milestones in the history of cardiac medicine. The university's business school and its entrepreneurship programs have built increasingly strong reputations, benefiting from Salt Lake City's growing technology industry, sometimes referred to as "Silicon Slopes," which has drawn substantial venture capital investment and startup activity to the surrounding region. The university's combination of foundational computer graphics research history, its landmark artificial heart transplant, and its Salt Lake City location amid a growing regional technology economy has made Utah one of the more historically significant public research universities in computing and medical innovation specifically.
