Marriott School Editing & Usage GuideUpdated June 2010
The Marriott School editing and usage guide is used for print and web publications such as Marriott Alumni Magazine, department newsletters and blogs, and the school web site. It is also provided as a resource for the media. This guide aims to cover exceptions and items not sufficiently
covered in other guides. For items not outlined here, consult the latest
edition of the Chicago
Manual of Style or the Merriam-Webster's Dictionary.
For news releases, consult the Associated
Press Stylebook. Other helpful guides include the BYU Style Guide and The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Name Style Guide. CAPITALIZATION: Do not capitalize the definite article the
before Marriott School or school. When used as a
secondary reference without Marriott or Brigham Young,
school (or the school) and university (or the
university) should not be capitalized. Example: Jones graduated in 1998 with a master of accountancy degree from the Marriott School. He was one of the school's top students. DESCRIPTIONS: The Marriott School should be referred to as a business
school. However, references to the school of management or
management school are permitted, particularly when referring to the
master of public administration program. Examples: According to BusinessWeek magazine, the Marriott School is one of the nation's leading business schools. HISTORY: The Marriott School was named after benefactors J. Willard
and Alice S. Marriott in 1988. Degrees earned at BYU before 1988 are
from BYU and not the Marriott School. Example: Johnson earned his BS in accounting from BYU in 1986 and his MBA from the Marriott School in 1990. TITLES: Official letterhead, envelopes, etc. should read Marriott School, Brigham Young University. If the title appears on separate lines of text, the words Marriott School should appear on the first line, with Brigham Young University on the line below. A
Examples: BA, Bachelor of Arts CAPITALIZATION: The names of academic degrees and honors should be capitalized when following a personal name, whether abbreviated or written in full (Chicago 15.20): Example: Joseph Hershall, MD, presented the award. Also capitalize the name of a degree when it is preceded by BYU
or the Marriott School. Examples: He joined the Marriott School's Master of Business Administration program last year. But when academic degrees are referred to in such general terms as bachelor's degree, master of business administration, etc. they are not capitalized (Chicago 8.32). Example: She earned her bachelor's degree from the Marriott School in 2001. Lowercase honors such as cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude. Example: She graduated summa cum laude in 2009. POSSESSIVE: Do not use the possessive unless directly modifying degree.
Examples: bachelor's degree PUNCTUATION: Omit the periods on all degree names (Chicago
15.21). Example: He earned his MBA in finance at Brigham Young University. USAGE: Do not use the name of a degree to refer to a person (so,
instead of MBA, use MBA student, etc.). Example: Most first-year MBA students participated in the event. See also MAcc ; majors ; MBA . academic semesters and terms Lowercase fall
semester, spring term, etc. Capitalize the season when
referring to a specific semester. Examples: There is a surge of students each fall semester. Accenture Formerly Andersen Consulting, a branch of
Arthur Andersen, this large technology consulting firm became known as
Accenture on 1 January 2001. Example: With its recently gained independence from Arthur Andersen, Accenture is free to consult AA's clients without upsetting the SEC. See also Andersen . accounting, accountancy The examples below
demonstrate the preferred usage for these two terms. Examples: She is an accounting major. See also School of Accountancy . Aerospace Studies, Department of When preceded by BYU
or Marriott School, capitalize and include of.

department or simply the department. Example: The BYU Department of Aerospace Studies is located here. The aerospace studies department is a part of the Marriott School. The department recently won two awards. See also Air Force ROTC ; departments. Air Force ROTC In first references, use BYU Air
Force Reserve Officer Training Corps or Air Force ROTC. In

singular noun. Alumni is a plural noun. Alumnus is a
male singular noun. The shortened alum may be used to refer to
any of these. Examples: She is a BYU alumna. a.m., p.m. Lowercase and use periods (Chicago
9.42). Avoid the redundant 10 a.m. in the morning or 12
noon (noon or midnight alone are sufficient). Examples: Devotional will be held at 11:05 a.m. See also time . Andersen Formerly Arthur Andersen, Andersen was one
of the Big Five accounting firms. The name change was announced 5 March
2001. Example: Shortly after Andersen Consulting changed its name to Accenture, Arthur Andersen, the parent company with the rights to the name, simplified its name to Andersen. See also Accenture ; Big Five ; Big Four . Army ROTC In first references, use BYU Army
Reserve Officer Training Corps or Army ROTC. In secondary
references, you can use ROTC. awards Names of awards and prizes are capitalized,
but some terms used with names are not (Chicago 8.89). Examples: Nobel Prize B
Example: The mission of the Ballard Center for Economic Self-Reliance is to bring practitioners, scholars, and the community together to help families throughout the world become economically self-reliant. The center was named after Melvin J. Ballard in 2010. See also centers. Big Five This term is no longer used unless referring to the past. See also Big Four .Big Four Big Four refers to the four largest accounting and professional services firms: Ernst & Young, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Deloitte & Touche. According to The New York Times article on 27 December 2002, the fallout of Arthur Andersen shrank the Big Five to the Big Four. Capitalize the B and F but not subsequent terms like accounting firm.
Bloomberg BusinessWeek In October 2009 media conglomerate Bloomberg LP bought BusinessWeek magazine from McGraw–Hill and in April 2010 redesigned and relaunched the magazine as Bloomberg BusinessWeek. Quotations from and references to these publications should reflect this change. Do not italicize the company name of Bloomberg except when part of the title of Bloomberg BusinessWeek.

of an organization in headlines, titles, and text, spell out first
references to all titles except CEO. After the first reference,
the acronyms of other titles may also be used. Example: Appointed chief information officer in 1980 by the CEO and president of his company, Johnson was the most senior CIO at the conference. church The official name of the church that sponsors Brigham Young University is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. CAPITALIZATION: CHURCH TERMINOLOGY: The following list includes commonly used
church-specific terms and their proper spelling and capitalization. 112th Annual General Conference HISTORY: The name of the church was given by revelation from God to
Joseph Smith in 1838. While the term Mormon Church has long
been publicly applied to the church as a nickname, it is not an
authorized title, and the church discourages its use. Mormon is correctly used in proper names such as the Book of Mormon, Mormon Tabernacle Choir or Mormon Trail, or when used as an adjective in such expressions as Mormon pioneers. The term Mormonism is acceptable in describing the combination of doctrine, culture, and lifestyle unique to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When referring to people or organizations that practice polygamy, the terms Mormons, Mormon fundamentalist, Mormon dissidents, etc. are incorrect. The AP Stylebook notes: "The term Mormon is not properly applied to the other . . . churches that resulted from the split after [Joseph] Smith's death" (AP Stylebook, "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, The"). CIBER The acronym stands for Centers for
International Business Education and Research. Since 2002 the Marriott
School's Whitmore Global Management Center has been designated by the
U.S. Department of Education as a CIBER. Examples: As a CIBER the Whitmore Global Management Center works toward internationalizing the Marriott School. class titles Lowercase class titles when followed by
class. Capitalize a class title when it stands alone, is
followed by a numeral, or includes a proper noun. Examples: I am really struggling with my introduction to accounting class. co Retain the hyphen when forming nouns, adjectives,
and verbs that indicate occupation or status. The examples below include
several exceptions to the dictionary for the sake of consistency. Examples: co-author Computerworld When writing the name of the
popular magazine, write it as one word, capitalize the C but
not the W, and italicize it. Example: A recent job satisfaction survey was published by Computerworld. comma in a series Place a comma after the last
element in a list of two or more items. Example: Students came from Japan, China, and Korea. conference The term should be capitalized only if it
is part of an official title. Example: The eighth annual Management Conference was a success. The conference had more participants than ever before. See also church . D
Example: The anticipated result of this effort—and it is already proving to be correct—is that local students who take these courses will be in a stronger position to find meaningful employment. Use the em dash to give emphasis or explanation (Chicago 6.88). Example: MTC missionaries consume 167,000 gallons of milk—the entire production of a three-hundred-cow dairy. 2. En dash (–): Use the en dash to connect continuing, or
inclusive, date, time, or reference numbers (Chicago 6.83). Examples: 1968–72 The en dash is also used in place of a hyphen in a compound adjective
when one of its elements is an open compound or when two or more of its
elements are open or hyphenated compounds (Chicago 6.85). Examples: the post–World War II years 3. Hyphen (-): Use the hyphen to separate numbers that are not
inclusive, such as telephone numbers and social security numbers (Chicago
6.82). Example: He can be reached at (801) 387-3224. Use the hyphen for compound words and in word division. Refer to the
Merriam-Webster's Dictionary to check which words require
hyphenation (Chicago 5.92–93, 6.81, 7.90). Examples: He was once a three-term governor. Place a hyphen before the noun that the following compound adjectives
modify: all- (all-inclusive study but study that is all inclusive) Place a hyphen in established clichés. Examples: up-to-date When a prefix stands alone, add a hyphen (Chicago 7.89). Example: The atrium is both over- and underused by the students. data Although data has traditionally been
categorized as a plural noun, it is acceptable to use a singular verb
with data. Example: The data is conclusive. dates The preferred style is day-month-year with no
internal punctuation (Chicago 6.46). Examples: The conference will begin on 28 August 1999. When a period of time is identified by month and year, no internal
punctuation is necessary or appropriate. Example: The next alumni board meeting will be in March 2002. When a day is mentioned without a month or year, the number is
usually spelled out. Example: By the twenty-fifth, everyone had left town. If a year is abbreviated, the first two digits are replaced by an
apostrophe ('), not an opening single quotation mark (‘). Examples: They celebrated at the Days of '47 parade. decades Decades should be spelled out (as long as
the century is clear) and lowercased (Chicago 9.37). If
numerals are used, do not include an apostrophe between the numerals and
s. Examples: I lived through the nineties. departments Capitalize department when it
is preceded by BYU or Marriott School. Lowercase department
and the department name in all other references (Chicago 8.73).
Examples: The Marriott School Department of Finance will be moving its office next door. The finance department has several new faculty members this year. The department's newest faculty member is Bob Smith. "We are excited to have him," says finance department chair Steve Thorley. See also Accountancy, School of ; Aerospace Studies, Department of ; Business Management, Department of ; Finance, Department of ; Information Systems, Department of ; majors ; Military Science, Department of ; Organizational Leadership and Strategy, Department of ; Recreation Management, Department of. different from, different than In general, the
preferred usage is different from. However, different than
is preferred when a clause follows than and in elliptical
constructions (OED p. 341). Examples: She is not afraid to be different from everyone else. dot-com Always write this term in two words with a
hyphen. It can be used as an adjective or a noun. When in a title,
capitalize both dot and com. Example: A large number of students went to work for dot-coms. The dot-com boom of the nineties was bound to crash. It is generally unnecessary to include the .com suffix for
web-based companies like Amazon and eBay. However, .com should
be included when referring to a specific domain name. Example: Amazon has quickly become the world's most influential online retailer. Its new web site, amazon.com/giftcards, is making news. See also URLs . E Example: The Alumni Association is preparing to launch a lifetime, web-based email system that could be used by all BYU graduates. For email addresses, lowercase everything. Avoid underlining emails
since underscores can be difficult to distinguish. Example: My email is style_guide@byu.edu. Executive MBA In first references, use Executive MBA. In secondary references, use EMBA. Executive MPA In first references, use Executive MPA. In secondary references, use EMPA. F
Example: Most of the faculty prefer to use hardback books rather than online texts. Finance, Department of When preceded by BYU

other references, lowercase and use finance department or
simply the department. Example: The BYU Department of Finance is located here. The finance department is a part of the Marriott School. The department is great. See also departments. Fortune 500 Use a capital F and the number

BYU or Marriott School, capitalize and include of.
In all other references, lowercase and use information systems
department or simply the department. Example: The BYU Department of Information Systems is located here. The information systems department is a part of the Marriott School. The department is great. If an abbreviated term is needed, particularly in headlines, use IS . The abbreviation I Sys is only appropriate when referring to course titles. Do not use IS or Info Sys . See also departments . institutes Capitalize institute in official
titles, but not in secondary references (Chicago 8.73). Example: In 1976 the BYU Institute of Retail Management was founded by American Stores. The institute has made many meaningful contributions to the school. See also Institute of Marketing ; Peery Institute of Financial Services ; Romney Institute of Public Management . Institute of Marketing Use Institute of Marketing in all references. In secondary references, the institute may also be used. The institute was founded in 1976 by American Stores as the Institute of Retail Management at BYU. In 1997 the institute changed its name and expanded to include retail sales and services as well as marketing. internet Lowercase. italics Italicize complete works, such as the titles
of books, magazines, movies, and plays. Italics are also used to set
apart foreign words, words that refer to themselves (ain't
isn't a word), or exclamations. To emphasize a word or phrase, use
italics rather than all caps. Examples: BusinessWeek's rankings were fair. See also magazine . J
JPEG, GIF, PDF Always capitalize these file name
acronyms unless using them as file extensions. Examples: Please submit photos as JPEG or GIF files and send text in PDF format. Jr., Sr. Do not set these off with commas (Chicago 15.19). L

add magazine to the first reference of the title to ensure
clarity. Do not capitalize or italicize magazine unless it is
part of the official title. Example: Entrepreneur magazine recently ranked the Marriott School twelfth in the nation in its annual undergraduate program review. The article, in the October 2006 issue of Entrepreneur, compiled rankings for both undergraduate and graduate programs. See also italics . majors Always lowercase majors unless they are proper nouns, such as languages. Use the following guidelines on how to refer to various Marriott School areas of study.
Note: The EMBA, EMPA, MISM, BS accountancy, and BS information systems programs do not have majors, minors, or emphases. See also departments; minors. MBA Always prefix MBA with an (Chicago
15.9). Example: She earned an MBA in 1983 from the Marriott School of Management. She learned a lot from the MBA program. See also academic degrees and honors ; majors ; program . Management Society Use BYU Management Society
in first references. Use the Management Society or simply the
society in secondary references. Capitalize Chapter when

references. Examples: Many alumni and friends of the school have joined the Management Society. The society was established in 1977. Marriott Alumni Magazine The Marriott
School's alumni magazine was named Exchange until June 2001
when it was renamed Marriott Alumni Magazine. Quotations from
and references to these publications should reflect this change. Marriott
Alumni Magazine should be spelled out in first reference, but may
be referred to as MAM in subsequent references. Example: Exchange reported the happenings of the business school professionally for more than two decades. Marriott Alumni Magazine continues this great tradition. media, medium When medium refers to any
physical material used to store data, such as DVD, disk, tape, or paper,

refer to the collective group of newspapers, magazines, radio,
television, motion pictures, and the internet, has a singular
connotation and may take a singular verb. Example: Today's media is quickly becoming overwhelming. microenterprise Always use as one word and lowercase
the e. The term microenterprise is preferred over microfinance.
If microfinance is part of an official title then it is should
remain so. Example: The BYU Department of Military Science is located here. The military science department is a part of the Marriott School. The department is great. See also Army ROTC ; departments. minors Always lowercase minors unless they are proper nouns, such as languages. Minors are rarely mentioned unless they directly pertain to an article. Minors offered in the Marriott School are listed below.
See also departments ; majors . more than Use more than when referring to
amounts and over when referring to spatial relationships. Examples: We traveled over the river and through the woods. N non Words preceded by non typically don't use hyphens, unless the following word is a proper noun. Refer to Merriam-Webster Dictionary . Examples: nonprofit numbers Refer to Chicago 9.1–71 for detailed guidelines. CARDINAL NUMBERS: Spell out the following: Examples: There are forty-three students in the MPA Class of 1999. —Any of the whole numbers that are followed by hundred,
thousand, hundred thousand, million, and so on (Chicago
9.4). Example: The lecture hall can seat up to four hundred students. —Any number that begins a sentence (Chicago 9.5).
Often a sentence may need to be recast to avoid awkwardness. Examples: Two hundred and forty-three students attended the training seminar. Note that specific numbers like twenty-one, thirty-nine,
forty-seven and so on are hyphenated, whether used alone or as
part of a larger number. Examples: At age twenty-six he was the youngest CEO to ever head the company. When spelled-out numbers would cluster thickly in a sentence or
paragraph, it may be better to use numerals. Example:The ages of the eight members of the city council are 69, 64, 58, 54 (two members), 47, 45, and 35. Use numerals with million and billion when
referring to specific quantities (AP Stylebook, "millions,
billions"). Examples: Total membership should rise to 11.2 million by the end of this year as we usher in the new millennium and should reach at least 18 million by 2020. MILITARY UNITS: Spell out numerals of one hundred or less designating
military subdivisions (Chicago 9.52). When numerals are used do
not use a superscript for st, etc. Examples: Seventy-Seventh Regiment MONEY: Spell out whole numbers one through one hundred. If the number

or ¢ is used (Chicago 9.23). Examples: The fare has been raised to twenty-five cents. ORDINAL NUMBERS: The rule for cardinal numbers applies to ordinal
numbers (Chicago 9.8). Examples: The students placed second, third, and fourth in a Java programming contest during the conference. PERCENTAGES: Spell out the word percent in text. It is
acceptable to use the symbol % if numerous percentages are being listed
in a text or if used in tables or graphs (Chicago 9.19). Examples: The activity level increased by 4.5 percent in one year. PLURALS: The plurals of spelled-out numbers are formed like the
plurals of other nouns. The plurals of numerals are formed by adding s
alone. (Chicago 9.58). Examples: The students were in their twenties and thirties. O
office Do not capitalize unless part of an official
title (Chicago 8.73; AP Stylebook, "office"). Examples: MBA office online Do not capitalize, and use as one word with

slash (/); before a tilde (~), a period, a comma, a hyphen (-),
an underscore (_), a question mark, a number sign, or a percent symbol;
or before or after an equals sign or an ampersand (&). A
hyphen should never be added to a URL to denote a line break (Chicago
6.17, 7.44, 17.11). Examples: PUNCTUATION: If a URL ends a sentence, include a period after the
URL. Do not set off a URL with angle brackets or quotes. Example: Visit us on the web at marriottschool.byu.edu. See also dot-com . U.S.News & World Report When spelling
