Many other universities have tried to copy the junior core structure since its formulation; however, no other university has been able to achieve the same level of coordination, cohesiveness, and success as BYU Marriott. Kevin Stocks, former School of Accountancy director, attributes the program’s success to its extraordinary faculty. “They’re willing to try new things and give up traditional ways to do it,” Stocks says. The level of collaboration and planning required among faculty for the benefits of the program to be realized is staggeringly high, and complete implementation of this teaching model has only been achieved by BYU Marriott.
