I can't speak to other PhD's, but I am being recruited for Jobs and have 2 job offers and I have not even gone on internship yet. As I have been going on internship interviews, I feel like I am competing well with those that come from the top schools in the country. There is a good reputation for our program and we do have a couple of psychology legends on the faculty that give our program some clout.

I didn't know BYU had any notable faculty outside of the MBA or Engineering Departments.

There are several psychology staff who have national reputations. Mike Lambert is easily one of the top psychotherapy researchers.

What you have heard about PhD students in the biological sciences sounds totally believable to me. When I was at BYU, most of the biology faculty would not have been competitive for jobs at major universities. |

Lack of high-impact research publications. Lack of grants and history of obtaining grants. To some degree, the kind of science professors you would have at a liberal arts college that doesn't have graduate programs. How can you run wet-labs and not have a meaningful graduate program? End of story.
However, I believe things are trending towards better research, more graduate students, better-qualified young faculty. When BYU was rapidly expanding back in the day (1970s?), they hired a lot of suspect faculty who ended up with tenure. Those guys are dying off. |

My critique of the law school faculty is that we have not replaced the departing faculty with the faculty of the same stature. The newer hires are former BYU students who may have studied law at Harvard but have absolutely little or no professional experience. Yet, their Harvard law degree and BYU undergrad got them hired. The older guard had established professors from Michigan, a solicitor general, established prosecutors and noted tax professionals. That experience and stature is not being replaced and the new faculty appears to be a bunch of lightweights. Here's a list of the faculty. http://www.law2.byu.edu/faculty_profiles.php Some are still there that many years later. Amazing. Yet lots of new names. This is the type of hire I don't get. http://www.law2.byu.edu/faculty_profiles.php Whereas this one makes more sense. http://www.law2.byu.edu/faculty_profiles.php or this one. http://www.law2.byu.edu/faculty_profiles.php
