Personally Speaking

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.
SJ Kim
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.
