BYU-Pathway Worldwide

BYU-Pathway Worldwide, also known as BYU-Pathway, is an organization that delivers online educational pathways for students affiliated with BYU-Idaho and Ensign College. Its headquarters is located in the United States of America. The organization focuses on providing accessible online learning options that enable students to pursue coursework and credentials through these institutions. It operates as a service that connects learners with the academic programs of BYU-Idaho and Ensign College via digital platforms. The core mission centers on expanding educational reach through online modalities.

In June 2025, BYU-Pathway Worldwide detected unauthorized network access stemming from a compromised vendor account, which allowed an unknown third party to view personal data of some current and former online students associated with BYU-Idaho and Ensign College. The exposed information may have included names, Social Security or national identification numbers, account identifiers, contact details, gender, marital status, religious affiliation, age, and educational course records. Upon discovery, the organization promptly notified U.S. federal law enforcement, engaged cybersecurity experts to conduct an investigation, and confirmed that no further unauthorized activity occurred after the breach was contained. In response, BYU-Pathway strengthened security controls around vendor access and continues to monitor its systems to protect student information. There is currently no evidence that the exposed data has been misused or published.
