Where Can Our Professional MBA Take You?
Personally Speaking
The Rice MBA was great. I wanted to go into investment banking straight out of school, and I was able to do that. I made so many friends, I expanded my network and the finance curriculum at Rice is top-tier.
Peter Cho
Professional MBA
I chose Rice because I couldn't quit my day job. Rice has the superior professional program because you actually get to take classes on campus. The program was a game changer for me.
David Aldrich

My two years in the program really changed my life. I am the person now that I never thought I could be. It’s a top MBA program for a reason and it’s the most important step that you can take to invest in yourself.
