Course Syllabus

Weekly Devotional Course Syllabus

Purpose

Attending weekly devotionals is one of the unique opportunities associated with a BYU-Idaho education. Every week, students, faculty, and administrators who participate in devotionals are uplifted and edified by speakers who have sought diligently to know what message the Lord would have them share with BYU-Idaho students. The purpose of this course is to help students get a deeper experience from devotional addresses, to develop their discipleship by being reminded of who they are and their purpose on earth, and to see the blessings of applying gospel principles in their lives.

Required Materials

All materials are contained within the course, at no cost to the student.
