The Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University—Provo places a strong emphasis on ethical decision making. All graduate students are required to complete at least one course in management ethics and must also commit to abide by the university’s honor code, which governs academic and personal standards. Students that enter the Marriott School M.B.A. program are immersed in team-oriented practices. Small groups of five students are formed according to factors including undergraduate major and academic background, language skills, and previous work experience in an attempt to bring students together that will complement one another.

The Marriott School believes a supportive family life and strong religious roots are integral to success in business, and the school openly invites families to most M.B.A. activities on campus. Along with the full-time M.B.A. program, Brigham Young also offers an executive M.B.A., a master’s and executive master’s in Public Administration, and graduate degrees in Accounting, Information Systems, and Youth and Family Recreation.

The school offers its students more than 35 clubs with a focus on culture, career, and family, including the BYU Leadership Organization and the M.B.A. Spouses Association. Brigham Young’s location in Provo, Utah provides students with many opportunities for outdoor activities, including five national parks, multiple ski resorts, and water sports on the Provo River.

There are more than 40,000 Marriott graduates working around the globe, and some of the notable alumni include Kevin Rollins, former president and CEO of Dell, Inc.; Dave Checketts, former president and CEO of Madison Square Garden; and Fraser Bullock, former chief financial officer and chief operating officer of the Salt Lake Olympic Committee.
