HEAR TYLER'S STORY

Tyler, an experienced energy professional, wanted an MBA program that would surround him with other accomplished leaders and give him ideas he could put to work right away. That's exactly what he got in the Rice Executive MBA program. Through our Executive Forums, Tyler improved his ability to lead through change, expanding his responsibilities and making a deeper impact in his role.

“The Executive Forum is a week-long intensive program. We learned about change management, building teams and general leadership principles. It was so effective. There will never be a 'best time' — jump in. It's one of the best decisions you'll make.”

— Tyler Sullivan, Executive MBA
