Associate Dean George Andrews
Welcome to the Rice MBA for Professionals program! We are thrilled to have you as part of the Jones School community. It is truly an exciting time for all of us. Not only are you joining one of the Top 25 business schools in the nation, but you are also joining us as our new dean, Peter Rodriguez, joins the Jones School on July 1st. In addition to being dean, he will also be joining our award-winning faculty.
But enough about us, let’s talk about you! You are busy, working professionals. You have full-time careers with full schedules. You have busy personal lives and commitments. Adding in school will not be an easy task, but I guarantee it will be worth it in the end. Stephen Covey says “The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” We are here to help you do that. We will challenge you, stretch you and guide you. You will leave this place transformed and will approach problems with a new set of skills.
Our dedicated faculty and staff work tirelessly to provide unique learning opportunities and resources to all of our students. Our Office of Student Services and Career Management Center offer a wide variety of programs and support to assist you through your time here and beyond. You will learn more about those programs as you go through Kickoff and Immersion.
I am proud to be part of the Jones School, and I am honored that you chose us to lead you into the next chapter of your lives. Welcome to the Jones School, and welcome to Rice!
George J. Andrews, III
Associate Dean of Degree Programs
