Rice University Reviews of Master's in Business

"I have enjoyed every single day that I have been in the full time MBA program. I would recommend it to anyone as I think the program is currently undervalued by the business community."

"One of the greatest aspects of life at the Jones School is the atmosphere that is evoked from students and faculty. There is a true collegiate and supportive environment that is unlike any academic setting I have ever experienced. This is only fostered by unique campus bars and events that allow students, faculty, professors and alumni to network and bond. The only piece of the school I have been somewhat disappointed in is the career center. While the center is extremely accessible and friendly, I feel that there is only a superficial understanding of the recruitment and career building process, which forces students interested in anything other than cookie-cutter, mainstream MBA roles to fend for themselves."

"Rice's professional MBA program is a full time program, but they have designed the courses, workload, and learning environment to allow you to complete the program while working full time. The entire support program from admissions, professors, Career Services, is A+."

"The MBA program at Rice has surpassed all my expectations and has provided all the opportunities I could ask for coming out of business school. The career center is an excellent resource for students and I am proud to say that I am part of the Rice family."

"The Rice MBA is very competitive (not in a sick way) and it will require thorough preparation and hard work (make no mistake, workload is almost insane, and your social life away from school is close to zero, but it is worth it). In return you will be rewarded with a top and relevant business education, excellent faculty and peer atmosphere. Almost everybody is quite easy to be around (students and faculty) and the campus cannot be better. I feel incredibly calm walking around it and the school is a stone's throw away from a very good gym. Diversity in terms of international students is excellent; although most nationals are from Texas. Network is very decent (it is limited since both Rice's undergrad and graduate population is small) but almost everybody is willing to help. The school and program per se is INCREDIBLY reputable in Houston and Texas, but away from the State it is not as known...still, why would you want to leave Houston?!"

"Rice University MBA has a very high academic rigor. It is not only a valuable learning environment, but the network of the school is robust and extremely open."
