A largely self-contained portion of the BYU campus houses the Missionary Training Center (MTC), where 3,000 young men and women attend eight-week courses focused on learning foreign languages and cultures and preparing to go on missions encouraged by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Young men between the ages of 19 and 25 are expected to serve a two-year mission, often overseas, while young women of at least age 21 are expected to serve 18 months.
