Rice University

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 and the newly launched Hybrid MBA. 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. An active network of over 5,000 Jones School alumni have made a global impact in all areas of business, including entrepreneurship, finance, and energy. Two-thirds of our alumni reside in Houston, with 55 percent holding executive-level positions or running their own companies.
