Rice Business announced that their Class of 2021 Full-Time MBA graduates have exceeded expectations, recording some of the highest employment numbers in the school’s history.
“We reported our highest base salary ever,” said Philip Heavilin, executive director of the Career Development Office. “And 100% of our job seeking international students accepted a job offer within three months of graduation.”
While the school increased the full-time Class of 2022 from 120 to 180 students, Heavilin shared the news “that 100% of the class has secured internships for the third year in a row. The Rice MBA continues to deliver results to our students and graduates.”
Highlights include:
The numbers speak to the school’s growing impact on Houston and the local economy. The Rice Business Career Center will release its comprehensive Full-Time MBA Class of 2021 Employment Report and Class of 2022 Internships Report this fall.
"Rice offers an incredibly supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem, filled with classmates, faculty, mentors, and alumni who are eager to advise and open doors. Whether the venture becomes a breakout success or simply an invaluable learning journey, Rice is one of the best environments to take that leap."
“Felix embodies the best of Rice Business. He leaves communities stronger than he found them, and I am confident his impact will continue well beyond our campus,” said George Andrews, associate dean of Degree Programs.
"I think part of what I’m hoping to accomplish here is to put Rice on the map for some of these firms who might not have otherwise thought of it as a place to recruit,” says Robert Dittmar, associate dean of the Virani Undergraduate School of Business.
