Personally Speaking
My favorite part of the MBA is how quickly it has paid off for me. After accepting an offer to work as a summer associate for an investment bank, I can already say it has been worth the price of admission.

Professional MBA
An MBA is an investment in yourself. It may be challenging, but the opportunities and friends that come out of it make every late night study session worth it!
Veronica Cox
Rice MBA
Rice immediately transformed my career and showed me the true power of a network. I was aware that one’s network could be of value, but I never truly understood the magnitude of that until joining Rice Business.
