Two Apostles — Elder D. Todd Christofferson and Elder Ronald A. Rasband — and Relief Society General President Camille N. Johnson will be the featured speakers of a special devotional broadcast to the Spanish-speaking areas of Latin America on Sunday, Sept. 17.

Speaking from Mexico City, Mexico, the Church leaders will focus their remarks on the importance of education and the opportunities available through the Church Educational System, including BYU–Pathway Worldwide.

The online availability and affordable price of classes offered through BYU–Pathway make the possibility of obtaining a degree within reach for students across the globe. 

A news release about the devotional published on ChurchofJesusChrist.org notes that BYU-Pathway students can cover the cost of their degree for the equivalent of the cost of a semester at a private school in Mexico.

Each degree facilitated through BYU–Pathway is comprised of several certificates. Each certificate is generally about five classes, meaning it can be completed in about a year. 

“Many students see an increase in their job opportunities after earning a certificate and then an even greater increase after earning a college degree,” said BYU–Pathway President Brian K. Ashton.

Sunday’s devotional will be broadcast through the official channels of the Church in each Spanish-speaking area of Latin America.

The Church announced on Sept. 1 that BYU–Idaho and Ensign College, through BYU–Pathway, will be offering three-year bachelor’s degrees by eliminating elective credits, meaning students will be able to achieve a degree sooner without sacrificing learning outcomes.
