Institute of Religion

LDS Business College is sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; however, other faiths are represented on the campus and all are welcome.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has always maintained that education is not complete without the study of religion. For this reason, religion courses are provided so students may gain an increased knowledge and conviction of the gospel of Jesus Christ along with their vocational and academic education.

Required Institute Courses

Eight credit hours of religion taken from LDS Business College are required to graduate with an AAS or AS degree. Four credit hours of religion taken from LDS Business College are required for one-year certificate programs. All students must complete two credit hours of religion in Book of Mormon, either Rel. 121 or 122. Students are encouraged to enroll in Book of Mormon their first semester to ensure completion.

Because regular gospel study should be a continuous part of a student’s college experience, the ideal is one religion class each semester . To encourage this, no more than 4 hours of religion credit per semester may count toward the required religion hours to be taken at LDSBC. Each course may be taken only once for credit. If any course is taken more than once, credit will only be given for the class in which the student receives the highest grade.

Students transferring to LDS Business College should refer to the chart below to determine the number of religion hours required to be taken at the College.
