Marriott School Undergraduate Programs and Advisement Center
Undergraduate Programs
Courses for the Marriott School's undergraduate management programs are designed to create opportunities for students to develop and apply their analytical and decision-making abilities. For this reason, the Marriott School programs make extensive use of faculty expertise, case studies, student projects, and internships. The program is designed to assist students in acquiring knowledge, insight, maturity, competence, and a strong sense of moral and ethical character.
Four undergraduate bachelor's degrees are offered by the Marriott School of Management, three of which are limited enrollment programs. Because of the need to control enrollment in these three management programs, the competition for acceptance is keen. Those choosing to enter these majors should decide early, plan their schedules carefully, be aware of all the requirements, and stay informed about any changes by checking often with the Marriott School Advisement Center in 460 TNRB.
The first bachelor's degree is offered in management, which provides a broad management education (http://marriottschool.byu.edu/bsmgt/). Within the management program there are seven different emphases that allow the students to acquire training and skills in diverse areas of management. Upon admittance to the management program, students choose one area of emphasis from the following: finance, marketing, global supply chain, strategy, organizational behavior/human resources, entrepreneurship, or general business. Two minors are also offered in management and strategy.
The second bachelor's degree is offered by the School of Accountancy to students seeking to combine accounting skills with broad management education (http://marriottschool.byu.edu/bsacc/).
The third bachelor's degree is offered by the Information Systems Department to students seeking to combine information systems skills with broad management education (http://marriottschool.byu.edu/bsisys/).
The fourth bachelor's degree is offered by the Recreation Management and Youth Leadership Department and is an open enrollment major. Students can choose between an emphasis in leisure services management or therapeutic recreation. A minor in nonprofit management is also available (http://rmyl.byu.edu/rmyl_new/index.html).
