Hi all,

I want to ask your comments regarding both schools,
Rice University ad UT-Austin are highly regarded as the best schools in Texas. Should one got offer from both school and want to work in Energy business (ie. Corporate finance in the Giant energy company or Energy Trader in Banks). Which should one choose ?

From both of their websites I found that UT-Austin is highly regarded as a Finance school (regularly supplying MBA grads to Wall street) and under Prof. Ehud Ronn, they created an Energy center, and created an extension from their existing courses to acomodate the Energy specialisation:
-Financial Strategies - Energy Finance, and
- the specially designated energy finance section of Financial Risk Management.

However, there are only 2 (TWO) specialized courses ?!?!

While compared to Rice University, there are 7 courses:
- Fundamentals of the Energy Industry
- Economic Environment of Business
- Business-Government Relations
- Energy Derivatives
- Project Management in Energy I
- Project Management in Energy II
- Business Strategy in the Energy Industry

I know that Quality should overcome Quantity...
but if the number of courses are significantly different...
2 compared to 7 courses... it made you wonders...

you got to admit that RICE is a better university to study MBA specialized in Energy. And yet, they're located in Houston.

Could anybody comment on this? Did I miss out something?

Thanks for all of your comments.
