Westminster University
Westminster University, founded in 1875, is Utah's leading private, nonsectarian liberal arts institution, and its small size, around 2,000 students, distinguishes it sharply from the state's much larger public universities and BYU's massive church-affiliated enrollment. The university's nursing and business programs have built solid regional reputations, and Westminster's Salt Lake City location gives students direct access to the city's growing technology and outdoor recreation industries while maintaining a small, residential liberal arts college campus feel. Westminster's outdoor education program benefits directly from its proximity to some of the best skiing and mountain recreation in the country, and the university has built specific academic offerings around outdoor recreation management and environmental studies tied to that geographic advantage. The university's status as one of the only nonsectarian, non-LDS-affiliated private liberal arts institutions in Utah has made it a distinctive choice among students specifically seeking a small private college experience without either a public university's scale or BYU's specific religious institutional requirements.
VS
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.
