It has been offering masters degrees since 1939 and an MBA since 1961.There are nine Bachelor of Science degree programmes and six graduate degrees. No doctoral programmes are offered.About 70 per cent of tuition is funded by the LDS Church, making church member tuition more affordable, while non-member students pay more.All students may earn a Global Management Certificate by taking a business language course, international business classes, and participating in an international study field of a study abroad programme.
