Welcome MBA@Rice Students

Welcome to the MBA@Rice career community at Rice Business!

As an MBA@Rice student, you have access to a full range of virtual and in-person career development services, including career advising, online workshops, networking opportunities, employer engagement, and curated resources designed to support your experience as a working professional.

Because your path may differ from other MBA programs, we’re here to help you craft a career strategy that fits your goals. To be eligible for on-campus recruiting, you’ll need to complete the CDO Async Career Toolkit for Working Professionals, a self-paced career prep course available in Canvas.

The course outlines the full process and requirements, including specific assignments and a one-on-one intake appointment with a career advisor. Completion of this toolkit is required for recruiting approval.

If you plan to participate in on-campus recruiting after Launch, please email Tiffany Stott directly. The course will no longer be actively monitored following Launch, so reaching out ensures you receive the support you need to stay on track.

Working full time while trying to navigate a career shift is challenging. Partner with the CDO to create a strategy. Please view the Career Development Office’s Working Professionals Recruiting Roadmap.

Schedule a career advising appointment with Rayna Crier, Associate Director of Career Education and Advising, via the 12twenty Appointments Calendar or by email.
