Pre-MBA Opportunities
Each summer there are many Pre-MBA fellowships, events, and conferences that are available with companies who are interested in early access to Rice MBA students. Some of these opportunities are geared towards diversity candidates, but not all. Normal recruiting opportunities will start in the fall once classes begin, but these summer touchpoints are good introductions to groups/roles. Attached are two opportunities:
  • JPMorgan Chase & Co. Early advantage program – deadlines: June 13 and June 15
  • EY-Parthenon – deadline: June 24 
For more Pre-MBA opportunities, check the CDO  page periodically: cdo.business.rice.edu/jobs/category/pre-mba/
