Welcome to the Real Estate Community
Real Estate has become an area of solid interest for our MBA students over time. Rice Business has a strong real estate faculty, including both tenured and tenure-track professors, as well as successful, respected practitioners in the various sectors in which a student might pursue a real estate career. We boast a broad array of elective courses to flesh out our Real Estate Concentration. The CDO in coordination with Rice Business’ real estate faculty and External Relations creates networking opportunities and events that engage our many alumni who are distinguished in the industry. We welcome you to connect with the CDO and the Real Estate Organization to take advantage of all that the Jones School has to offer.
