What connection do the institutes have with colleges?
Adjacent to almost every institution of higher learning in America from Ivy League schools to community colleges there are various independent religious centers. Such organizations have no official connection with the schools, but academic leaders generally welcome them, recognizing that they have a positive effect on the various campuses. Religious centers sponsored by the LDS Church are called Institutes of Religion and are found in every state of the Union and numerous countries.
