BYU Education Week

Brigham Young University campus · Provo
When Mon, Aug 17 – Fri, Aug 21 Where Brigham Young University campus Cost Registration required

One of the largest continuing-education events in the country brings hundreds of classes on faith, family, history, health, and more to the BYU campus for a week each August, drawing tens of thousands to Provo.

For one week every August, tens of thousands of people descend on the BYU campus for Education Week — a sprawling continuing-education program that's among the largest events of its kind anywhere. If Provo's hotels, restaurants, and parking lots suddenly feel packed in mid-August, this is usually why.

What to Expect

Education Week offers hundreds of classes across a wide range of subjects — religion and scripture, marriage and family, family history, personal finance, health, communication, and personal development — taught by a rotating roster of popular presenters. Classes run throughout the day, most about 55 minutes long, and are first-come, first-seated, so regulars learn to arrive early for the popular sessions.

Beyond the classroom, the week includes evening entertainment and keynote devotionals in the Marriott Center — the 2026 lineup includes Elder Patrick Kearon on Tuesday, August 18. The program is open to adults and youth ages 14 and older, and campus housing packages are available for those coming from out of town.

2026 Dates & Details

Education Week 2026 runs Monday, August 17 through Friday, August 21, on the BYU campus in Provo. Registration is required — attendees choose from single-session, multi-day, full-day, or full-week options and wear a name badge for admission. Tuition has historically ranged from roughly $25 for a single session up to around $75 for the full week (with campus housing available separately); confirm current 2026 pricing when you register. The full class schedule booklet is typically posted online in July. Register and browse classes at the official Education Week site.

Education Week lands right as the fall semester approaches — the same stretch that brings BYU New Student Orientation and, soon after, the BYU football home opener. Planning a visit? See our guides to where to eat near BYU and the full Provo events calendar.
