but to say BYU is not student-centric is far from true. BYU is the most student-centric undergraduate educational experience of any of the many large universities in its category or comparable. The mentor-student program at BYU, the field school opportunities with faculty around the globe, and the explicit mission for BYU faculty to be hands-on, available to students, and involved with student projects/research is second to none in a university setting. Your statement is false.
