Ricks College was a liberal arts college located in Rexburg, Idaho, and was
affiliated with the Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons). The institution was
founded in 1888, even before Idaho achieved statehood, and pursued an
independent existence for over a century, as witnessed by the Centennial flag.
Eventually, however, Brigham Young University, the major LDS/Mormon institution
of higher education worldwide, obtained control of the college and renamed it
Brigham Young University - Idaho. Brigham Young now has three campuses, one in
Laie, Hawaii, and known as Brigham Young University of the Pacific (the name
tends to change frequently) which was established by the university, and Brigham
Young University - Idaho,
which is the former Ricks College.
