中文概述
杨百翰大学成立于1875年，位于犹他州普罗沃市，是一所私立大学，隶属摩门教，是全美最大的教会大学。
杨百翰大学最大的特点莫过于其宗教氛围。因宗教影响，校风极其保守，新生入学时，必须签署一份约章，包括不饮酒、不抽烟、不吸毒，甚至不喝咖啡或茶。
杨百翰大学学生必须选修七学期的宗教课程，校内教规颇严。比如星期日，如果不去教堂基本只能独自在宿舍做作业；爱好摇滚乐等比较"反叛"的音乐在校园上也不能太张扬。学生不可以有淫乱行为， 不可以穿着暴露。因为大部分是教友的关系， 同学、教授都对人特别友好。
宗教背景也使得杨百翰大学的学制与一般学校不太一样： 大学只有四分一的学生可以在五年内毕业，因为在大二，摩门教的男生都会依照教会传统，外出传教两年，女生则可自主选择是否传教。
杨百翰大学学院设置有：生物与农业学院，商学院，教育学院，工程技术学院，家庭与社会学院，艺术与通信学院，健康与人类工程学院，人文学院，法学院，护理学院，数理学院，宗教学院，研究生院。
杨百翰大学最著名的学科是计算机科学、工程、商科(尤其是会计)以及初级教育。语言教育也十分优秀，所提供的语言课程很广泛，多达70种。数学部门的研究机构也是全美顶尖。此外，大众传播和制造科技也备受学生的欢迎。
特殊设备包括地球科学博物馆、地震测量仪器、电影制作部门、植物科学研究室、乳品动物农场、语言中心等。
