Course Description:

'' Wherever you go to business school, you’ll do well. So why choose the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Management, 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 to choose the careers they’ve always dreamed of. Here’s what made them choose Rice.

Size does matter. 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. It’s an incredibly diverse group of people. Everybody in the program brings something unique." "Smaller classes mean people are taking the class because they want to, so the learning environment is better." "I receive more individual attention at Rice.

Small size also means the faculty are accessible and involved. "You’ll have wonderful professors at all the schools in our group. But do you have access to them? Can you sit down, have a beer with them, and talk? You may have the foremost expert in the field but do you really get to share what they have to offer?"

"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 rave about our well-rounded students. As one nationally prominent recruiter says, "We enjoy recruiting at Rice. The student quality is great and the career center is really responsive to our needs. Since we have to travel from out of state, it makes a big difference." Out of state or out of Houston, Jones School graduates are making their mark in the corporate world.

And Houston itself is a gold mine for career opportunities. "People don’t realize what this city offers in terms of business and building a network." Houston is second only to New York in Fortune 500 companies. Many Rice grads begin their careers at companies in Houston and then are sent to other locations by their employers.

Whether you’re here for only the two years of business school, for longer as you get your career launched, or for the long haul, people in Houston will tell you, "The richness of the culture makes Houston an enjoyable place to live." America’s fourth largest city has a plethora of museums, theaters, four major residential arts companies—the Houston Grand Opera, the Houston Ballet, the Houston Symphony, and the Alley Theater. Houston is second only to New York in a second way —number of theater seats.

Houston’s cost of living is about half that of Hanover, Chicago, and Boston, and about a third of the cost of New York and Palo Alto.

A challenging business education which focuses on leadership and communications, the attributes most CEOs and recruiters say are usually lacking in MBA grads, in a dynamic, affordable city—reason enough to make your MBA a Rice MBA.

The Rice MBA is accredited by AACSB International.
