Why Earn An MBA
We’re living in extraordinary times right now — times that demand thoughtfulness, strength and compassion. Build the skills you need with an MBA.
Join us on our campus in the heart of Houston for our top-ranked full-time program. Dive into clubs, extracurricular activities and networking events, and personalize your education by choosing from more than 100 different electives. Or secure your spot a few years down the road through our Deferred Enrollment program.
No matter where you are, advance your education and skill set by earning an MBA from Rice. Our hybrid online program attracts working professionals who may not have the option to study on campus. Class start dates are in January, April, July and October.
Earn two advanced degrees at the same time and integrate what you learn in one to enrich the other. The coordinated degrees at Rice University are completed in three years. The dual degree with Baylor College of Medicine is completed in five years.

Imagine studying at one of the most intimate business programs in the world with access to all the amenities of a university campus, in the country’s fourth largest city.
The power of the Rice Business Career Development Office and alumni network when it comes to recruiting was a good surprise. The caliber of companies that come to Rice Business and the amount of opportunities available has exceeded my expectations.
More than 40 teams compete for $1.5 million in prizes in the world’s largest and richest student startup competition. Entrepreneurship is baked into the MBA experience and the Rice Business Plan Competition is just one of many ways to get involved.
We have also moved all admissions events to virtual interactions and are offering online chats with our recruiting and admissions team. Hope to connect with you then.
Whether you’re full time or part time, you’re going to want to get involved. Start a club or lead one of our many professional and social student organizations.
The specific factors that set Rice Business apart for me were first, its ranking and reputation and then its student-teacher ratio. The third thing that set Rice apart was its location in Houston, the most diverse city in the U.S. Interacting with people from so many backgrounds sets me up for success.
The Global Field Experience is an adventurous, immersive opportunity that opens your mind and changes your perspective. Step out of your comfort zone, learn another country’s culture and how they do business, and become a more insightful leader.
We're here to help you transform your world. Our team will guide you on your journey from the moment you begin considering a Rice MBA program to the moment you submit your application. At Rice Business, we believe that you belong here — and our recruiting and admissions team is dedicated to helping you get here.
