What percent of Dixie State College are Mormons?

Answer 1

Since Dixie State is a public college, they are not allowed to require their students to disclose their religion. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) does not keep records on which schools members are attending, so it is impossible to know for sure how many students at Dixie State are Mormon. (also, the number fluxuates every semester) However, Dixie is in a predominantly Mormon area, and I would assume that about 50-70% of students are baptized Mormons, although many may not be practicing the faith.

Answer 2

While students of any religion may attend BYU, all students are required to take 14 credit hours of religion classes and abide by an Honor Code that commits students to "live a chaste and virtuous life," "obey the law," "use clean language," "abstain from Alcoholic Beverages, tobacco, tea, coffee" and "participate regularly in church services." BYU is ranked the most religious school and the most sober school in the nation by the Princeton Review.

Because of this, just less than 99 percent of BYU students are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In 2010, only 461 of the 32,947 students enrolled at BYU said they were not Mormon. Of the non-Mormon students, 69 said they were Catholic, 62 said they were Protestant, and 32 said they were 'Other Christian'. 29 students said they were Muslim, 57 said they were Hindu, 16 said they were Buddhist, 40 said they belonged to 'other religions' including Judaism and Baha'i, and 156 chose no religious preference.
