STUDENT COMMENTS
My most frustrating experience with the Marriott School is their desire to have all of their students fit a certain mold. It appears that the program wants to get students in, trained, and out. I know that this is largely due to the fact that enrollment is very limited. However, I believe that there should be certain exceptions to the rule.
I am very pleased with the opportunities and real-life business preparation I have received and continue to receive as an undergraduate. I love the lectures from professionals. Also, a large number of my professors are volunteers and are still successful professionals in their areas of expertise.
We have a wide variety in teaching quality, but the program, with its emphasis on job placement, makes it all worthwhile. The Marriott School does everything to get its students into the best jobs possible. Any student who wants a job can participate in the program and get a lot of hookups.
The character of the teachers in paramount. The teachers do a sensational job on everything that a business school must have. However, what sets them apart is helping students keep everything in perspective and stressing the importance of integrity and morals in business.
The accounting program at BYU is extremely challenging and rewarding. The professors are sharp and accomplished and keep us up to date on developments related to our field. Also, I am impressed by the time, money, and effort that the Big Five accounting firms spend on BYU. I have honestly never felt so confident and excited for the future.
Brigham Young University is an institution that inspires its students. The education I receive here makes me motivated to go out into the world and make a difference, particularly by making a positive impact on the people I will meet. I love it here!
Every year I am amazed at how the BYU business school continues to improve. It seems to me that the rate at which we are gaining recognition is growing quickly, and I can only feel excitement for what the future holds for the Marriott School of Management.
I feel that the school has exceptional faculty. They are generally very accomplished in life and have pragmatic experience and then come back to BYU because they believe in the Marriott School and want to give back.
I really appreciate the program's efforts to connect us with professionals in the business world. It's done an excellent job in helping us prepare for a career and not just give us a book education.
The BYU Marriott School seeks excellence in everything. While some classes or tenured instructors turn out to be more academic airheads than decent teachers, the majority are professionals in their fields who are engaged in the subject. Many of my teachers still work in their business careers in addition to teaching, and their up-to-date knowledge is invaluable. The atmosphere of the school motivates students to work hard, and the BYU Honor Code pushes us to work ethically. The program is certainly not for the faint-of-heart, and I'm proud to earn a degree here.
The Marriott School of Business shines with amazing faculty. I've disliked classes for workload or strict grading, but at the end of the semester I always feel I've been treated fair and that it was a worthwhile effort. I will never regret having chosen BYU for my undergraduate degree because I feel teachers care and go out of their way to make sure we understand. Any lack of success during my time here is a complete reflection of my effort and not the school.
In my opinion, the accounting program here at BYU is very poorly designed, contrary to the high rankings it has received in the past. The educational experience I have had here has quite possibly been the worst of my life. The teaching quality is far below what I expected, and almost laughable compared to the experience I had at the school I attended previously. The faculty are indifferent to student concerns. Because of the popularity of the program, they know many people are waiting to take the place of anyone who doesn't agree with program policies and therefore do not need to respond to valid concerns that do not fit with their objectives. At no time have I ever been asked by an individual professor for feedback on their performance on their skills as a teacher.
I absolutely love the accounting program here at BYU. It is very challenging, but it is even more rewarding. I learn new, applicable things every day. The professors expect a lot out of their students because they know that we can handle the work. I enjoy the small class sizes, the other students, and our awesome professors. Usually we have an event each week where we attend a presentation by business professionals. One of the best things about the Marriott School is that we are recruited quite heavily. I feel like I have an advantage over students at some other universities, because firms come here and solicit us instead of us going to solicit them.
The Marriott School of Management has prepared me to succeed in the competitive business environment while also motivating me to maintain high standards of integrity and ethics. I feel there is no other institution that prepares its students for success in today's market as well as the Marriott School of Management.
I feel that I am part of a very unique and amazing program. At Brigham Young University the accounting program stands out in a league of its own when you consider the cost of education and the quality of students that come out and the jobs those students are offered. I feel honored to be part of a program that is so highly thought of in the business and accounting fields.
I really love how the focus at BYU or at least in the business school is on the undergraduate, not just on the graduate students. Most universities focus all of their time and efforts on graduate programs and treat undergraduates very poorly, as if they aren't very intelligent. I love the focus at the Marriott School on the undergraduate. Maybe that's why BYU produces some of the most qualified students right out of the undergraduate program.
I'm interviewing all the time with reputable companies for prestigous jobs that will compensate me well, give me great experience, and pay for my MBA.
I won't have any debt when I leave this school. At BYU, many of my friends are in the same boat.
The Marriott School of Business has created a wonderful learning atmosphere. The professors are top-notch and the student body is here to learn. This school has provided me with valuable skill sets as well as real-life experience that have helped me achieve many things as well as preparing myself for the future.
The main problem is with the recruiters. They are only concerned with grades and don't seem to take into account any other experiences. I know of a ton of people who missed out on great opportunities because someone who had a 3.9 and no personality or abilities other than the ability to ace a test got the interview.
