Faculty Overview
The
Marriott School has 145 full-time faculty members known nationally
and internationally for their teaching expertise, business consulting,
research, and publishing. Faculty members are able to integrate
contemporary and practical as well as theoretical business principles
into the classroom because of their ongoing involvement in the
business world. Some of the current faculty consulting and research
projects include: witnessing for government and other special
investigations in the field of forensic accounting, assisting
various U.S.-based companies to ethically penetrate eastern and
central European markets, and teaching the principles of entrepreneurship
to the people of the Philippines and Latin America.
Other faculty research projects are being conducted in the fields of marketing (specifically survey design), operations and production planning, and international human resource consulting.
Many members of the Marriott School faculty have experience teaching at outstanding universities other than BYU, have earned distinguished professional degrees and awards, and sit on numerous boards and advisory committees. Marriott School MBA students are taught and advised by faculty and business professionals rather than graduate assistants because, despite their accomplishments and expertise in business, the faculty members consider teaching and mentoring students their chief concern.
