"GMAT was looking to be a daunting task since I had never taken a computer based test of such a time duration. But the Experts' advice really worked and took the fear out of my mind. The study material was extremely good as it contains the relevant and the best of all topics from various sources and at a very reasonable rate.Hence the quality of the material far exceeds the cost. AWA template recommended is in sync with what is expected from GMAT takers and covers all aspects of analytical writing evaluators are looking for. All this helped to me score a good 740 with a scaled score of 5.0 in AWA."

On May 18th, 1891, a Massachusetts-born businessman William Marsh Rice chartered the William Marsh Rice Institute for the advancement of literature, science and art in the city of Houston. The terms of the charter said that the work on the new institute can begin only after Rice’s death. Rice’s valet Charlie Jones along with an unscrupulous lawyer Albert Patrick conspired against him by poisoning him to death and used a forged will to claim his estate. Though Patrick was convicted of murder, Jones agreed to provide state evidence and hence, got immunity from prosecution. The Rice Institute opened on September 23rd, 1912 on the anniversary of Rice’s murder with 77 students and a dozen faculties. In 1960, Rice Institute was formally re-designated as Rice University. In 1974, the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Administration came into being.
We excel at developing principled, innovative thought leaders in global communities.
The Rice MBA program aims to develop the next generation leaders into innovative thought leaders through its unique curriculum that blends the three essential ingredients (comprehensive core courses, Action Learning Projects and Specialized concentrations) required to alleviate the strategy, leadership and creative credentials of its students. The first year of the curriculum gives an opportunity for the students to explore the various options to solve a problem and diligently arrive at a solution after weighing the pros and cons of all the alternatives. Students have the option to choose a concentration that aligns with their career goals. This will equip them with the required knowledge and skills pertaining to their chosen business discipline. Students immerse themselves into the elective courses that further integrate the business knowledge with their career objectives. Students can get personalized attention (due to a low student to faculty ratio) from renowned faculty members who carry years of experience in research, consulting and teaching. Students get exposure to an experiential and competitive learning environment that boosts their innovative and leadership potential, thus propelling them to strive for innovative and academic excellence.
The Action Learning Project ALP is an excellent opportunity for the students to put the theoretical business concepts learned in the classroom to practice. As a part of the ALP, students study the host company’s business processes in depth and provide necessary recommendations under the guidance of expert faculty member. Students learn to collaborate and develop essential teamwork skills. They liaise with the top executives from the host company to understand the business processes and practices followed within the company. The students are evaluated by the faculty mentor based on their final presentations and feedback from the host company. A typical ALP could be a new product development or distribution, streamlining the purchase process, creating an annual sales forecast procedure or exploring the capital appropriation process.
