Polish Studies at
Brigham Young University
The Institution
An overwhelming majority of students that attend Brigham Young University belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Students describe
the school environment as very social, yet challenging.
Polish courses are taught at BYU through the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages. The department administers a Polish Credit Exam for BYU students, while non-BYU students may take a FLATS Proficiency Exam through the BYU Humanities Research Center.
