About this school
Brigham Young University-Idaho is a private non-profit university located in Rexburg, Idaho, in a distant town setting. The school is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, along with specialized accreditors for nursing and physical therapy programs, and it participates in federal Title IV financial aid programs, meaning students can use FAFSA, federal loans, and Pell Grants to help cover costs. Among its trade and career-focused offerings, the campus awards the most credentials in medical assistant programs (43 completions) and a smaller number in auto mechanic schools (1 completion), out of 3 total program offerings tracked.
Federal data show 44 trade program completers against a much larger overall undergraduate enrollment of 44,397. The state average completion rate is 71.0%, though this campus's own completion rate and how it compares to the state average are not reported for this campus in federal data. Graduates carry a median debt of $13,969, and median earnings 10 years after entry are reported at $53,406. Annual cost of attendance is not reported for this campus in federal data. About 24.3% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a meaningful share of lower-income students attend.
Given the small number of trade completers relative to the university's overall size, this campus's medical assistant and auto mechanic programs appear to be a minor offering alongside a much larger traditional degree-granting institution. Prospective students, including adult career-changers, should not assume short-term vocational scheduling here without confirming program length and format directly with the school. To verify accreditation status and review the latest federal outcome data, contact BYU-Idaho directly or consult the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard.
