Brigham Young University • Provo, UT
Studying MBA (completion in 2009)
• 8/21/2011
"Great education and the degree carries a lot of weight. I was lucky to get in there."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I would recommend it for everybody. Although it's a private LDS school, which can scare off some people. |
| Program Reputation | 9 | It's rated highly by Forbes and BW. It's very well known across the nation. |
| Program Quality | 8 | It's a great program at a top tier business school. |
| Instruction | 7 | Great, competitive program. All of the faculty are former industry professionals with great experience and knowledge. |
| How Difficult | 7 | The program is very intense. 64 credit hours in 4 semesters. There is no easy ride in any class. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Most of the learning is case based. Also, as I have stated earlier, all of the instructors used to work in the industry. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 4 | During the first year there is no flexibility at all. But in the second year you get to work it around your schedule. However, there are no weekend, evening, or on-line options. |
| Academic Facilities | 8 | Very good. All that you can think of is there, and much more. |
| Social Life | 7 | There are many great traditions at the school. However, as a grad student you are not involved in the school life as much. |
| Placement Services | 6 | The career center is working hard, but could do a little better. Also, the economy is in the wrong state to make a fair judgment. |
| Alumni Network | 7 | There is an established network with the local groups. I have received a lot of support from a couple of them. |
Brigham Young University • Provo, UT
Studying Economics (completion in 1998)
• 10/19/2011
"BYU was fine. I got out of it what I put into it."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | BYU is a place where you can focus on your studies without a lot of distractions. If you want a clean, sober school which is all about learning only, it would be a good place to go. |
| Program Reputation | 10 | They rate among the best for business. This is true for all of the university rating magazine articles. |
| Program Quality | 7 | BYU is a fine school for Economics. The teachers are great and the subject matter they discuss is very well presented. |
| Instruction | 4 | BYU professors are a-ok. If I had gone to graduate school, I would have been well prepared for it. |
| How Difficult | 10 | Economics is demanding. The workload was not unbearable, though. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | My program was a book-learning program. Lagrangian multipliers do not have much hands-on that you could do. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 9 | I was able to take my classes whenever I wanted. There were only a few occasions that a class did not have many possible sections to choose from. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | The facilities are world-class. BYU is very well equipped. |
| Social Life | 7 | I didn't participate much. I worked instead. |
| Placement Services | 2 | Job placement is almost non-existent. They were no help whatsoever. |
| Alumni Network | 2 | Job placement is almost non-existent. The alumni network is just a website listing a few jobs but asking for lots of donations. |
