Year one is lockstep for a reason

BYU describes a first-year lockstep format with two 15-week semesters. Students move through core courses together, typically in sections of about 50 and smaller teams of about five.

BYU also notes that because of first-year intensity and team workload, students are not permitted to work during that year.

Cheap is not the point. Return is.

BYU's own positioning emphasizes value: it states full-time two-year tuition is roughly $30,000 and contrasts that against $100,000+ at many other highly ranked programs.

The same BYU material frames outcomes around career mobility, recruiter demand, and a shorter payback period narrative.
