Campus SummaryTOP
Rice University is a private, non-sectarian, coeducational research university dedicated to undergraduate teaching and the graduate studies, research, and professional education in selected disciplines. The defining characteristics of Rice are its small size, exceptionally gifted students, low tuition, distinguished faculty, acclaimed research and scholarship, financial stability, and its campus of uncommon beauty. The university's deliberately limited enrollment allows the personal interaction between student and professor that is found at small colleges.

Rice University is located in Houston, the largest city in Texas and fourth largest in the nation, and its campus boasts about 50 major buildings of a red-tiled roofed, neo-Byzantine style of architecture situated on approximately 285 acres of tree-shaded park-like grounds


Unique/Special ProgramsTOP
Rice University offers undergraduates a flexible curriculum with plenty of opportunities to explore their intellectual interests. Over one-third of its students have double- or even triple-majors. It also offers graduate programs in architecture, engineering, humanities, music, natural sciences, social sciences, and graduate business administration. In addition, Rice also operates a sizable program in continuing studies that serves the local residents of Houston.
