BYU students demonstrate the highest level of integrity. In 2006 and 2007, BYU ranked #2 in ethics by the Wall Street Journal. One recruiter says:
"The integrity and ethics of BYU MBA graduates is high and their moral compass is strong and good. There is always a high level of trust when bringing in individuals from BYU that they will be honest and represent well their respective companies and vendors."

Because most students spend up to two years in full-time volunteer service during college, BYU MBA students learn leadership and maturity earlier than their peers from other schools. In addition, this lends itself to older, more experienced students.
BYU students display maturity and a positive work attitude. Recently, an MBA recruiter noted:
"One of the characteristics which stands out the most [about BYU MBA students] is their strong work ethic. They are not afraid to take on many different work experiences in order to add to their skill set."
