The Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business is committed to our mission of developing principled, innovative thought leaders in global communities. Upholding the prestigious academic traditions of Rice University, the Jones School offers the Full Time MBA, MBA for Executives, and MBA for Professionals degrees. Our students come to Houston from all over the world for the unique opportunities and resources that only we provide, such as the El Paso Corporation Finance Center, the Gilbert and Ruth Whitaker Business Information Center, and the Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship. The Jones School also offers learning opportunities beyond the traditional MBA. A full schedule of non-degree, open-enrollment executive education and customized business courses allow industry professionals to gain an advantage in their industry. The Rice Education Entrepreneurship Program develops leaders for Houston area K-12 schools. Our business minor is open to any Rice undergraduate who meets enrollment requirements.
