1984

He practiced law in Phoenix, Arizona from 1984 to 1987 with the law firm of Jennings, Strouss & Salmon.

While practicing law in Arizona, Worthen found that he was very interested in the history of laws, leading him to consider teaching law.

1994

As a Fulbright Scholar, he also spent a year working as a visiting instructor at University of Chile Law School in 1994.

Worthen is an expert in American Indian law.

His theory of cultural and ethnic assimilation draws on the history of indigenous groups and posits that since traditional "assimilation" is impossible, governments should work with indigenous groups as associational groups.

Worthen was officially inaugurated as BYU's 13th president September 9, 2014, in a special devotional assembly.

Other members of the board were also in attendance, along with former BYU presidents and presidents of other universities.

2016

In late 2016, Worthen was pressured by Air Force officials to make an exemption to the honor code so the person the Air Force chose could be placed as head of the ROTC division at BYU, but Worthen refused to budge from the code.

In April 2016, Worthen announced the appointment of a BYU advisory committee to investigate how to improve handling alleged sexual assault situations involving students.

In August, the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights investigated the university.

Based on the BYU committee's recommendations, BYU adopted policies that provided amnesty for honor code investigations for actions taken at or near the time women were sexually assaulted.

Other changes included having the Title IX Office report directly to the student life vice president, and the physically separating the location of the two offices, relative to one another.

The Title IX Office will include a full-time director.

2017

In December 2017, Worthen announced a 10-year-deal that would give BYU students free ridership on the regional bus and commuter rail transit system.
