I felt welcomed by Rice Business from the beginning. Throughout the application process I was able to connect with current students, alumni and the admissions committee whenever I had questions.

The MBA program has truly broadened my scope of expertise. Overall, the combination of high-quality academics, supportive relationships with my peers, and personal development has made this experience incredibly rewarding.

Rice MBA
Rice immediately transformed my career by showing me the true power of a network. I was aware that your network is of value, but I never truly understood the magnitude of that until joining Rice Business. At any point in time, I am only one or two connections away from reaching someone of influence.
