CAREER DEVELOPMENT

Helping You Bring Your Big Ideas to Life

During your time as an MBA@Rice student, you will have access to the Rice Business Career Development Office (CDO) and our dedicated team of coaches and mentors who will provide support tailored to your experience and personal strengths. We partner with you to help you achieve your professional goals.

We Start With a Personalized Career Plan

Our number one goal is to help you elevate your career. We start by defining your professional strengths and interests, areas of expertise and personal motivations, and we use those insights to design a personalized development plan.

Through planning resources like digital education programming and one-on-one coaching, we ensure you have all the tools and skills you need to enhance your employability—and reach the bold career milestones you’ve set for yourself.

We want to challenge you in a way that literally changes the way you think. After two years of being in this MBA program, you’re going to see the world differently, you’re going to have greater capability, you’re going to ask different questions—and in that sense, you’ll be transformed from the moment you came in.”
