Full course description
The Rice Executive MBA Program Launch is composed of a rigorous one-week experience intended to help acclimate students to the Jones School Culture, as well as the rapid pace of a top-tier graduate business program. At the end of Launch, students will be better prepared academically, professionally, administratively, and culturally to reap the full benefits of the MBA experience. The Rice Executive MBA Program Launch is a mandatory activity for all incoming students.
NOTE: The Executive Forum 1 course (EMBA 911) runs during the Launch Week (August 4 – 9). This course is a separate, distinct course taught, managed, and graded by Rice Business faculty (Professor Brent Smith, smithb@rice.edu and Professor Balaji Koka, brk2@rice.edu).
The sessions that are part of Launch are intended to help you succeed on your team, successfully navigate your career and professional activities, succeed in the Rice Business community, and communicate effectively orally and in writing.
