Rice Business Review- 2nd Year Student

Experience during the program

Pros: Small program, so you don't get overlooked and you get to know all of your classmates, professors, career advisors, etc. Administration is focused on improving Rice's ranking and brand image across the nation. Endowment allows for numerous scholarship opportunities and continued funding of events, facilities improvement, etc.

Cons: Location and size of program limit the opportunities you have with your career. More focus on IB, Consulting, Energy, Entrepreneurship than other disciplines.

Unless you are focused on Houston/Texas Market, don't expect to easily recruit out of state. Operations and marketing roles are tough to obtain given limited exposure during program
