Find Your MBA

Dedicate Fully to Your Rice MBA Experience

The Full-Time MBA offers a fully immersive campus experience, faculty who will know your name, along with connections to a network that will last a lifetime. Our uniquely demanding and collaborative academic culture ensures that you come away with top-flight business expertise – as well as an unmatched professional community, built by working together. In addition to classroom instruction and collaboration with peers, full-time MBA students have the opportunity for internships over the summer which provide the chance to explore new, different job functions or industries.

If you are an undergraduate student who plans to pursue the Full-Time MBA at Rice Business, you may want to consider the Rice MBA Deferred Enrollment Program, which allows you to apply during your final year of college and secure a spot in a future Rice Full-Time MBA class that starts anywhere from two to five years after graduation.

Work While You Earn Your MBA In-Person

Advance your career without pausing it. Our top-ranked Professional MBA offers the flexibility, top-tier faculty, and tight-knit community you need, with evening, weekend, and hybrid schedules designed for working professionals. 

Three Flexible Formats Built for Your Schedule 

• Evening and Weekend Options: Fully in-person formats tailored for Houston locals seeking predictable campus schedules. Our evening track is the only part-time evening MBA program in Texas and the surrounding region. 
• Hybrid Option: Designed specifically for professionals living outside Houston or those with demanding schedules. Attend classes on campus just one weekend a month — with hotel lodging included in your tuition for the first semester — complemented by one online evening per week. 

Real-World Experience & Global Impact 

All students enjoy an integrated campus experience at our state-of-the-art facilities and graduate with an immersive, hands-on perspective. The hybrid track includes two immersive on-campus residency weeks, and every Professional MBA student completes a Global Field Experience at an international location during their second year. 

Whichever format you choose, you receive the same rigorous curriculum, AI-ready skills, and lifelong professional network — delivering a high-return investment in your future on a schedule that works for your life.

Earn a Rice MBA No Matter Where You Are

You already do much of your best work online: communicating and creating, analyzing and building. MBA@Rice uses the technology of the 21st century workplace to propel you ahead professionally. No matter where you are, our online MBA gives you a globally competitive business education, with no need to leave your home and work commitments.  

The core curriculum, the same as all of our MBA programs, develops your understanding of critical business principles such as business analytics, marketing strategy, leadership and finance. It also permits you to build skills in a focused specialization. The second-year curriculum empowers you to apply the skills in your own, self-designed focus area.

The flexibility of online study allows you to earn a Rice MBA degree wherever you live. This digital efficiency is enhanced with essential in-person training: each term, a week can be devoted to an Intensive Learning Experience or Rice's signature Global Field Experience, available in all of the school’s MBA programs.

Prepare for and Enhance Your C-Suite Experience

If you’re already at a senior level, you know you wouldn’t have reached that point without pushing yourself to learn. The Executive MBA is for seasoned executives and managers who have an average of 16 years of experience – and are ready to gain a breadth of knowledge outside their current areas of mastery. The Executive MBA will give you and your classmates training in leadership, strategy and decision-making skills. In addition to core instruction, experiential training with your cohort and mandatory international experience, the Rice Business Executive MBA offers each student a personal executive coach.

For Highly Motivated Students with Specific Career Goals

In collaboration with the Baylor College of Medicine, we offer the MD/MBA dual degree program for candidates seeking to integrate business knowledge with expertise in medical schools, physician groups, hospitals and managed care organizations. The U.S. healthcare industry faces many challenges such as sky-rocketing costs, increasing demand, inadequate access to healthcare, inefficiency, inconsistent quality of services, non-uniform processes and more. Increasingly complex changes in the healthcare and life sciences industries require physicians to take on leadership roles in nontraditional capacities. You could be a part of the solution.
