- The Princeton Review’s annual Best Business School rankings recently ranked the BYU Marriott MBA No. 1 in the nation in the Most Family Friendly category for the 13th year in a row.

The ranking is based on student survey questions regarding married students’ happiness levels and the support of the school to students with families. About two-thirds of BYU Marriott MBA students are married. The program was also ranked third in the Best MBA for Human Resources category, based on the percentage of graduates going into human resources and students’ assessments of how well they’ve been prepared for careers.
