Rice University Overview

Rice University is one of the most prestigious teaching and research universities in the United States. Funded by a bequest from murdered businessman William Rice, the school opened as the coeducational William Marsh Rice Institute for the Advancement of Letters, Science, and Art with 77 students in 1912. Now, the university enrolls 3,708 undergraduate and 2,374 graduate students.

Rice's 295-acre campus is located near the vibrant museum district of Houston, Texas. The school is made up of 11 close-knit residential colleges and eight academic study units. Rice prides itself on fostering both academic excellence and a strong sense of community. With 670 full-time, 108 part-time and 334 adjunct faculty members, the school boasts a student-to-faculty ratio of less than 6-to-1.
