Full-Time MBA students follow a core curriculum in their first year. The 22-month program requires 60 credits to graduate and is best described as total immersion. Designed for students ready for a major transition, our core classes include foundational building blocks for tomorrow's business leaders: data analysis, finance, managerial economics, marketing, financial accounting, strategy formulation and implementation, ethics, organizational behavior, communications and more. A built-in global field experience, participation in an optional 10-week team-based Action Learning Project (ALP), and summer internships wrap up year one. In the second year of the program, students have the opportunity to tailor the curriculum to their professional needs by enrolling in electives. With over 183 elective sections to choose from, students can take electives during the day, evening or weekend. In the second year, they become the CEO of their educational experience.

For experienced professionals who want to sharpen their edge, the Executive MBA is designed to deepen leadership and decision-making skills. The 22-month alternating weekend schedule includes core courses in functional areas; four week-long executive forums that provide real world examples of leadership practice with visiting CEOs; a third semester elective block which facilitates areas of interest; and an expanded global forum in the final semester that focuses on creating the mindset to lead the global firm.

Designed for working professionals who want to accelerate their careers. The Rice MBA for Professionals meets two evenings a week or on alternating weekends over 22 months. There is also the option of the extended evening schedule which would allow for completion of the program over three years (up to five). The first year builds a foundation of fundamental business principles through core courses. With over 183 elective sections to choose from, students can take electives during the day, evening and weekend in the second year. They become the CEO of their educational experience.

Beyond equipping you with the skill set you need to excel at the top level of your organization, our program will connect you with a diverse community of leaders from around the world. Together, you’ll work to rethink your approaches to common business challenges, such as managing human and financial capital, solving problems across functional teams and integrating new technologies into your core business strategies. The program consists of 54 credits and can be completed online in 24 months. You and your professors will meet each week for face-to-face, webcam-enabled class sessions. Our small class sizes allow for rich discussion and debate. You can complete assignments — which include real-world case studies, video simulations and collaborative projects — each week from anywhere, using any connected device. Our program includes Intensive Learning Experiences (ILE) and Global Field Experiences (GFE), in-person learning experiences, which are hosted both on the Rice University campus and in locations around the world, to allow you to connect in person with peers, faculty and mentors.
