Wherever you go to business school, you'll do well. So why choose Rice University? The people who come here know that our small, personal business school, in one of the most dynamic business cities in the world, prepares them for the careers they've always dreamed of. Here's what made them choose Rice.
Our students say:
"Small enough that everyone knows you."
"The size of the program means I know everyone in my class and most of the people the year ahead and the year behind me. Its an incredibly diverse group of people. Everybody in the program brings something unique."
"I receive more individual attention at Rice."
"Smaller classes mean people are taking the class because they want to, so the learning environment is better."
"Small size also means the faculty are accessible and involved. The accessibility of the professors and the diversity of the students are the two best things about the school."
"Rice's MBA program is both rewarding and challenging. That is what I am paying for - to be challenged. I am also paying to have access to the knowledge that will help me not only meet those challenges, but also exceed all expectations. It takes a team to create that kind of synergy. The faculty is part of that team and so are the students. We work together to help each other and the program excel because we understand that at Rice University, you do not have to do it on your own."
Companies also rave about our well-rounded students. As one nationally prominent recruiter says, "We enjoy recruiting at Rice. The student quality is great and Rice is really responsive to our needs. It makes a big difference." Rice MBA graduates are making their mark in the corporate world."
The Rice MBA for Professionals is accredited by AACSB International.
