Learning Environment for Students
The Rice MBA is earned in an intimate, focused, and interactive environment that encourages both independent thinking and strong relationships. As a result, Rice MBA programs mesh with today's business world and foster thinking that can shape the future.
The Rice MBA is not just a business education; it is a strategic development program. Our curriculum emphasizes real-world experience, strong core business knowledge, ethical leadership skills, and continuous executive development.
Our students develop business knowledge in theory and in practice. The Rice MBA's unique Action Learning Project assigns teams of four to six students to address real business problems faced by host companies. During these intensive ten-week internships, students develop teamwork, communication, and critical thinking skills. In addition, they deepen their knowledge of core business concepts through on-the-job experience.
The Rice MBA also emphasizes the value of leadership, communication, and ethics. Our MBA communications program includes regular Intensive Learning Experiences (ILEs) in leadership, communication, and negotiation. Each core course also provides numerous opportunities for skill development and practice.
