FAFSA earnings check
: Not flaggedBrigham Young University does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $81,222, above the $34,635 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 nationally. The Department uses the national figure for a college that mostly enrolls out-of-state students or operates in several states.
This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics
Studying online: a small share study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 799 of Brigham Young University's 35,074 students (2%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 12,087 (34%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.
Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

Graduate earnings by program
What Brigham Young University graduates earn, by program
Brigham Young University's bachelor's graduates in Physiology, Pathology and Related Sciences earned a median $68,321 four years after graduating, 10% above the $62,172 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $25,101; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $13,000 in federal loans at this college (about $138 a month on a 10-year plan).
77 programs at Brigham Young University have federal earnings or debt figures, largest graduating classes first. Earnings: graduates of 2017-18 and 2018-19, earnings measured in 2022 and 2023, in 2024 dollars. Debt: graduates of 2018-19 and 2019-20. The national median is the same measure for every program in that field and credential in the U.S.

Frequently asked questions
About Brigham Young University
Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.
- Where is Brigham Young University located?
- Brigham Young University is located in Provo, UT, in the United States.
- What type of institution is Brigham Young University?
- Brigham Young University is a private university based in UT. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
- What is the acceptance rate at Brigham Young University?
- The most recently reported acceptance rate at Brigham Young University is approximately 68% (IPEDS, applicants for fall 2024). Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality. CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.
- What is the tuition at Brigham Young University?
- Brigham Young University's published in-state tuition is approximately $6,688 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
- How many students attend Brigham Young University?
- Brigham Young University reports total enrollment of approximately 35,873 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- How much does Brigham Young University actually cost after financial aid?
- The average net price at Brigham Young University is approximately $15,564 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $10,444 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $20,542. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
- What is the graduation rate at Brigham Young University?
- Brigham Young University reports a graduation rate of approximately 81% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
- How much student debt do graduates of Brigham Young University have?
- Students who borrowed at Brigham Young University left with a median of approximately $11,069 in federal loans, and about 11% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
- How much do graduates of Brigham Young University earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $75,790 for students who received federal financial aid at Brigham Young University. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
- How should I verify final details about Brigham Young University?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Brigham Young University.
- How much do Physiology, Pathology and Related Sciences graduates from Brigham Young University earn?
- Brigham Young University's bachelor's graduates in Physiology, Pathology and Related Sciences earned a median $68,321 four years after graduating, 10% above the $62,172 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $25,101; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $13,000 in federal loans at this college (about $138 a month on a 10-year plan).
- How much do Human Development and Family Studies graduates from Brigham Young University earn?
- Brigham Young University's bachelor's graduates in Human Development and Family Studies earned a median $28,906 four years after graduating, 40% below the $48,568 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $25,342; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $10,475 in federal loans at this college (about $111 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $11,250 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level).
- Which programs at Brigham Young University have the highest graduate earnings?
- Among the 49 programs at Brigham Young University with a federal earnings figure from at least 30 graduates, the highest medians four years after graduating were Business Administration, master's ($158,399); Computer Science, bachelor's ($142,800); and Computer Engineering, bachelor's ($133,111) (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). That order is one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality: earnings reflect the field and where graduates go to work as well as the program.
- Does Brigham Young University get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
- No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Brigham Young University's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $81,222, above the $34,635 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 nationally, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
