Don't I have to be Mormon (LDS) to go to BYU?

You do not need to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to be accepted into BYU or into the BYU Animation Program. However, if you are non-LDS, you will still be required to live the BYU Honor Code and complete the University General Education requirements which include various math, English, history, and religion courses (see Course Map). Many non-LDS students have been a part of the Animation Program in the past and have made great contributions to the program and to the industry.
