The knowledge I gained at Rice catapulted me to where I am now in my career. I learned things that I didn't even know I didn't know. I think back to the Applied Finance course all the time.
Crystal Maxwell, Rice MBA
Senior Vice President of Wealth Management at UBS
The Career Development Office helped me develop my resume and frame my background in a way that resonated well with employers. The CDO gives you a seat at the table, not just a foot in the door. I couldn't have gotten this internship without them.
Robert Kempner, Rice MBA
Summer Associate at TPH
I expected a strong academic program and great recruiting opportunities. I didn’t anticipate just how tight-knit the culture would be. Everyone I’ve met has been eager to share insights, make introductions and offer guidance.
