Y. gets No. 2 ethics ranking
Business school is rated the 26th best in world
The national financial newspaper also ranked BYU's Marriott School of Management second Yale ranked first in the new "Emphasis on Ethics" category. That ranking is based on a Wall Street Journal/Harris Interactive poll of 2,191 MBA recruiters who named which schools they considered "best for hiring graduates with high ethical standards."
Despite those high marks 26th is the highest the Marriott School has ever been rated in an international ranking, assistant dean Joseph Ogden said BYU also tied for third with Vanderbilt University in the "Hidden Gems" category, a ranking of 10 schools that "don't receive the respect and attention they deserve." The No.1 and 2 Hidden Gems were Babson College and Emory University, respectively.
"We're gratified by the spotlight this recognition shines on our students and the values of our sponsoring institution," said Ned C. Hill, Marriott School dean. "And while it's a great honor to be ranked next to other top academic programs, we're most excited about our showing in the new ethics category."
BYU, Thunderbird, the American Graduate School of International Management (ranked 34th) and the University of Denver (ranked 44th) were the only schools from the Intermountain West that made the newspaper's Top 50 list.
The rankings were published in a 12-page special section that included an article on corporate scandals and the renewed efforts of "business schools to teach students to be virtuous." "Some recruiters say they are drawn to religious schools like Notre Dame and Brigham Young University," the article says.
"Recruiters find that Brigham Young produces an especially valuable type of graduate these days: the ethical accountant," the Journal reports in its profile of BYU in the Hidden Gems rankings. "Brigham Young, which is sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is considered one of the best schools for hiring students with high ethical standards."
BYU's accounting program is its strongest field, according to recruiters surveyed. BYU students also received "very high marks for analytical and problem-solving abilities, communication and interpersonal skills, fit with the corporate culture and team orientation."

A little after midnight Wednesday morning, about 21 hours ago as I write...
There's a lot of reason to leave your plastic home as you shop:
Can some people get over the whole stadium/tax dollar chip on their shoulders...
I'm tired of preparing for a storm when the TV people predict it and then...
What a great s sport! It's great to have the world's game here in Salt Lake....
Quivering about true conservatives, rather than the middle of the road, no...
CHAMPIONS!!!!! Good stuff
Maybe Real Salt Lake can teach the Jazz how to finish out a season/big game...
I admit I have never watched a game and have been a Jazz fan for a long time...
BSU: quit scheduling Miami of Ohio, Bowling Green, UC Davis all in the same...
Congratulations! Great underdog story. LA Galaxy learned that money can't...
Anyone know when the team comes back???
