Fostering an Intimate Campus Environment

One of the great benefits of Rice Business is our size. All our top-notch faculty and students are on the same campus and in the same building. Our average class size is small — about 40 — and the faculty members know your name. Our alumni make connections with current students as well as fellow alumni. And your classmates stay friends for life.

Changing Students' Futures

Rice Business is designed to change you and your career. We have built each program to give you the education and skills you need to advance professionally. Stay where you are and move up the ladder. Or take a leap of faith and try something new. Either way, the Career Development Office is available to meet with you six days a week, with extended evening hours. We will help you intern at organizations like Amazon, ExxonMobil, Goldman Sachs and Texas Children’s Hospital; network with Fortune 500 companies; and gain expert guidance from staff who are as invested in your education as you are.

Producing Entrepreneurs

Rice Business is also an internationally recognized leader for educating and producing talented entrepreneurs. We teach all our students how to think and act like an entrepreneur. Whether you’re starting a new enterprise or making something happen inside the company where you already work, the entrepreneurial mindset is a necessary part of any successful person’s tool kit.
