context_page_description: Located on a 285-acre wooded campus, The Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business is the business school of Rice University in Houston, Texas. Named in honor of Jesse Holman Jones, a Houston business and civic leader, the school received its initial funding in 1974 through a major gift from the Houston Endowment Inc., a philanthropic foundation established by Jones and his wife, Mary Gibbs Jones. The Jones School is distinguished by its foundation in accounting, finance, marketing, organizational behavior and management with areas of excellence in energy, entrepreneurship and health care. Degree programs include the Rice Master of Business Administration, MBA@Rice, MBA for Executives, MBA for Professionals, and Master of Accounting. In addition, the school offers several joint degree programs, including the MD/MBA with Baylor College of Medicine, MBA/ME with Rice’s George R. Brown School of Engineering, and MBA/MS with Rice’s Wiess School of Natural Sciences. A Ph.D. in Business — in marketing, finance, strategic management, and accounting — attracts candidates aspiring to become faculty at business schools in prestigious research universities internationally.
