Sponsored by the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Brigham Young University (BYU) is named after American pioneer and Mormon leader Brigham Young.
BYU is characterized by a predominantly Mormon student body. The school's honor code derives from The Book of Mormon's thirteenth article of faith, which discusses the need for honesty, benevolence and other virtues.
