Put your MBA learning to work before you graduate.
Why experiential learning matters
An MBA helps you understand complex business decisions. Experiential learning gives you the chance to practice making them. In selected BYU Marriott MBA experiences, students work with companies, clients, founders, and investment partners on challenges with real stakes.
Students draw on what they learn in class, assess evidence, collaborate with others, and contribute to decisions or recommendations. They also learn from faculty, teammates, and the people their work serves. The work varies by experience: students might analyze an investment, advise a growing company, build an AI product, or study a global supply chain.
That practice helps students develop judgment, confidence, and professional experience they can speak to with employers. It also builds the self-awareness, teamwork, and sense of responsibility that help them grow into leaders of faith, intellect, and character.
