For over 100 years, BYU Independent Study programs have touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of students and families. As we looked to the future and considered how to build courses and programs capable of delivering outsized educational impact, we reevaluated the foundational structure of course design and content.
BYU Independent Study now offers over 40 courses with Knowledge, Skills, and Attributes (KSA) components. The KSA additions to courses prove life-changing for many students because KSA builds character, inspires growth, and creates opportunities for future employment and education.
Sandy Powell, senior instructional designer for BYU Independent Study, explains what makes these courses unique: “The big difference is that we’re educating the whole student. We’re trying to help students gain more than just content knowledge; we’re helping them build their future.”
“We are very thankful for the courses you offer and the credibility they carry with universities.”
