Campus Education Week, begun in 1922, is a program unique to adult continuing education in the
United States. For one week each August the program utilizes the campus of Brigham Young
University (Provo, Utah) to present approximately 1,000 classes on education, religion, marriage,
family relations, health, history, genealogy, science, youth interests, and many other areas.
The program is designed primarily for adults, although anyone age 14 and over may attend.
It is believed to be the largest continuing education program of its type.
Program Dates
August 18–22, 2008
August 17–21, 2009
Faculty
Each year approximately 200 presenters participate. These presenters are faculty from Brigham
Young University, instructors in the Church Educational System of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints, and other experts in their field. A highlight of the program each year is a
campus devotional that traditionally features a General Authority from The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints. The devotional is open to the general public.
Class Times (subject to change)
Classes begin each day at 8:30 a.m., with the last classes ending at 4:05 p.m. on Monday, and classes ending at 9:25 p.m. Tuesday–Friday.
Most classes are 55 minutes in length. Breaks between classes are 25
minutes. All classes are first-come, first-seated (i.e., no registration is required for
a particular class).
Registration
Various registration options are available. Early registration begins in April and continues
until the Friday before the program. At-the-door registration is available during the
program. With numerous registration options, individuals are able to register for the week,
a day, or just a few hours.
Special Performances
On Tuesday through Friday, three different performances are presented nightly. These generally
consist of popular plays, musical performances, or other wholesome entertainment. These
performances are not part of the regular class offerings and are separate ticketed events.
Youth Dance
A youth dance takes place on Thursday evening where approximately two thousand young men
and women gather in their Sunday best.
There’s nothing like being on campus for this great event! Whether you can come for the
week or just a few hours, we invite you on campus to be instructed by excellent faculty,
enjoy the atmosphere, and share in all that makes this week a wonderful experience for
those who attend!
