Jones Graduate School gets new name
Houston Business Journal
Rice University’s business school officially changed its name Friday to the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business.
Previously the school was called the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Management.
In conjunction with the name change, the school will create a new logo that incorporates the Rice University name and shield.
Through research, the graduate school said it found that most top MBA programs used the term “business” rather than “management,” and that people performing online searches to find the school were using the term “business.”
“The update in the Jones School’s name and graphic identity better reflects our association with Rice University and provides clearer branding for the Jones School’s exciting programs and initiatives,” Bill Glick, dean of the Jones School, said in a statement. “Everyone already knows us as a business school. The ‘business’ designation in our new name better captures the breadth of our current offerings.”
In addition, a new Web site will launch in August.
Other changes for the school include adding a weekend MBA program.
