Brigham Young University Reviews

"This is an amazing program that really provides students with a well rounded education full of depth and knowledge."

"I think one of the biggest pros to BYU's speech language pathology graduate program is quality of professors and education provided. It is one of the last graduate programs that still require a thesis component, encouraging students to experience the ins and outs of research. Before entering the program, I would have laughed if someone suggested that I pursue a PhD. Now, after having completed my thesis in the first year of the program I can appreciate the contribution of ongoing research and would be happy to be a part of a PhD program down the road.Read Less"

"Working through the Pathway program made going to college all the more accessible and affordable for me."

"I feel this program at Brigham Young University is great. The professors are not there to just teach, they actually care about you and want you as a student to succeed. The class room environment is one of success and happiness. When you attend your classes you actually want to be there. However, if I could change one thing it would be the organization of the program. It is extremely difficult to know what classes you need and the steps you need to take in order to graduate."

"BYU has an excellent TESOL program. It is well worth the cost and provides excellent training. There is not a very diverse student body population."

"I'm pursuing a masters in Archaeology at BYU and I love how vast the campus is outside of my program because it means that I have access to many different resources and professors who can help me in addition to the professors in the program. There are many extracurricular activities with respect to archaeological work, and there are many research positions available on-campus for archaeology master students. The BYU library is a great resource for background research, and there are many museums close by. I do wish there were more classes offered. Often there is only 1-2 classes offered a semester that you can take. I also wish the university as a whole supported our program more. I could also say that it'd be nice if there were more scholarships available, but frankly tuition is really cheap and so I can't complain much about that.Read Less"

"BYU offers a strong well known program that pushes you and helps you obtain your goal. It is also a program that is affordable and works well for a working professional. It offers strong networking opportunities. They don't sell you as hard as other programs. You do work for and earn your degree from BYU."

"I feel that some of the pros of my graduate program is that it puts me in an environment that I'm surrounded by people of my same faith in God. along with teachers who have had a lot of experience in the fields of engineering to help me understand and apply the things I'm learning in the class room. The cons to my graduate program is that it is very labor intensive to be able to get the degree. I really had to cut down on my social life to be able to take the school load along with working part time to be able to do the things that I love.Read Less"

"Pros: - Low cost for high quality education - Great alumni network for job searching - Good connection between MBA classes (1st year and 2nd year) - Great support for people with families - Always producing more than their resources would suggest they should - Great OB/HR program and recruiting Cons: - Other than OB/HR, none of the tracks is nationally recognized. - Low diversity - Fewer resources (funding) to work with than other schools with similar rankings"

"My graduate program provided great financial aid and a quality learning environment. We took part in tangible, partnered research projects with community members and faculty. We had opportunities to get involved in teaching, research, professional organizations, and conferences. My particular program was small and I had to piece together my own course schedule from other programs, however, I saw this as an advantage. The local community has a lot of live music and a pretty good social scene. If you love the outdoors the university is particularly well positioned for access to outdoor activities.Read Less"

"Great faculty and networking connections in the BYU Art Education MA program. BYU is not very culturally diverse, but the program I'm in is wonderful."

"It is more appropriate for K-12 leaders than those interested in higher education leadership."

"Pros: + Faculty that are active in helping you understand and implement new procedures to current cutting edge projects. + Lots of housing to choose from as a married couple or as a single individual. + Safe atmosphere. Being a christian school they have a honors code that helps with the ambiance. + Wide variety of programs to choose from with undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral degrees available. + An active student body and campus life that has opportunities for many different activities everyday. + Research and internship opportunities with and through the university. Cons: - Like other universities, requires general education requirements to receive BS or BA degrees.Read Less"

"The professors are very supportive and knowledgeable. The program prepares you well for working after graduation. It places 100% of students who want a job after school."

"The MBA program is outstanding but small. Due to the small class size the number of courses available can be limited."

"Pros: Very good value for money Cons: Not very diverse"

"College was amazing. Not only do you get to meet new people and have a whole new social group, but you can be on your own, managing your own affairs. It's a great, independent time to learn about yourself and what brings you the most happiness. I loved all of it!"
