Companies Who Recruit Our Students
As a chemistry major, I didn't know what to expect. Rice opened up an entirely new way of looking at the world. I'd been trying so hard to get into the beauty industry. Rice Business really was the bridge for me.
Ashley Henry, Full-Time MBA
Global Product Development Manager at Fresh (an LVMH company)
Rice is a springboard. I was working in oil and gas and knew I wanted to change the track I was on. With the Rice MBA, you get to taste-test a lot of different industries. I went through consulting recruiting, joined Accenture Strategy, and, a little over a year in, have gotten promoted. It's a massive pivot.
Ben Clemenceau, Professional MBA
Corporate Strategy and Growth Manager at Accenture
I didn't have a formal business background. I had never taken a business class in my life. So, I had no idea what to expect. I loved my time. The diversity of class types you could take with professors that had such diverse backgrounds...the MBA was a growth opportunity that I cherished so much.

CEO of OcciGuide and Chief Strategy Officer for FemHealth Insights
