Mormon Studies
Utah Valley University

Mormon Studies at Utah Valley University is an interdisciplinary effort designed to support academic engagement with a rich, dynamic, and increasingly influential religious tradition. The courses, conferences, lectures, and other events seek to cultivate an atmosphere of inclusiveness and productive dialogue on a range of topics and issues. Our aim is neither to undermine nor endorse the claims of any religion, but to create opportunities for deeper understanding and cultural literacy in one of the natural educational resources of our region.
