Admission to Degree Program
Admission to the facilities management preprofessional program
is open to all BYU students, who may then apply for the
professional program. After completing required prerequisite
courses, candidates should send an application to the professional
program, along with a letter indicating what skills they have that
would make them a successful facility manager; a description of
the candidate's leadership experience; and a resumé. Applicants
will be evaluated based on GPA, skills, leadership, and work
experience.
Program application deadlines are April 1, August 1, and
December 1.
The Discipline
This program prepares students to be part of the
administrative/supervisory team in the increasingly complex
world of facilities and property management. The facilities
manager combines management practices with the most current
technical knowledge in nine competency areas: real estate,
operations and maintenance, human and environmental factors,
project planning and management, finance, quality assessment
and innovation, facility administration, communication, and
technology.
Career Opportunities
The program has nearly 100 percent job placement within the
field of facilities management. Employment can be found with
colleges and universities, hospitals and health care centers, sports
and entertainment arenas, and general business facilities.
Responsibilities encompass supervision of planning,
renovation, and maintenance of buildings and grounds. Attention
is given to employee health and safety, security, disaster planning,
and environmental concerns. The program is broad based and
prepares managers for all types of facilities, with salaries among
the upper-level of university graduates.
Further educational opportunities include advanced degrees
in facilities management, business administration, public
administration, or other related fields.
