Why Women Choose the Rice MBA
Exceptional Career Outcomes.
The talent and experience of Rice Business students draws a wide variety of companies. Top employers recruit from all types of industries: technology, banking, nonprofit, real estate, healthcare, energy, consulting and more. In 2023, we had the highest starting salary in school history and 100% of students seeking internships secured them. The Rice MBA continues to deliver results. And it will for you too.
Championing Leaders.
You know business school is more than academics. At Rice Business, we offer an array of opportunities outside of the classroom for students to reach their full leadership potential. Whether you run your own conference such as our annual Women In Leadership Conference or Rice Energy and Finance Summit, or join clubs with options ranging from the Entrepreneurship Association to the Wine Club to the Rice Business Women's Organization, you are sure to have the opportunity to put your leadership skills into practice outside of the classroom.
Join the Rice Network.
When you join Rice Business, you join a loyal network of 9,000+ lifelong learners, disruptors and leaders. From current students to faculty, staff and alums, you will always be one or two connections away from reaching someone who can help transform your career. Understand the power of the Rice University degree. Learn the true meaning of your network at Rice Business.
Tight-Knit Culture.
Your experience and perspective matter at Rice Business. Here, you'll find a dynamic community where ambitious professionals from all industries come together to learn, challenge ideas, and grow. The connections you build and the perspectives you gain will shape you into the kind of leader the world needs today.
Personally Speaking
I attended Women's Preview Weekend and was totally sold! I was so impressed by the students, faculty and staff I met.
Jennifer Ortegon
Full-Time MBA
You’re really encouraged to take leadership positions and you get a lot of support. I decided to run for president of the women’s organization, something I never thought I’d do. But here it's kind of all hands on deck. All of our voices are heard. They matter.
Stacy Fish
Full-Time MBA
The idea of women that balance careers and “side hustles” should be normalized. I wanted to pursue an MBA to further tap into hard skills to grow my business while still adding value to my full-time career!
