School of Jones rocks
Recently, publications like The Financial Times, The Economist and U.S. News and World Report have ranked the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Management as among the top 25 in the nation (see story, page 1).Compared to the lackluster numbers from previous years, these new rankings, which are measured based on the salaries of Rice MBA graduates, are considerably better and indicate that the Jones School must be doing something right.
Though we believe, now as always, that Rice should remain first and foremost an undergraduate institution, there is nothing wrong with improving graduate-level programs at Rice in order to spread the Rice prestige and get its name out there. In the end, Rice undergraduates can only benefit from these new numbers.
