About University

Rice University is a private research university founded in 1912 in Houston, Texas, through an endowment from businessman William Marsh Rice. It is a small, highly selective institution, enrolling around 4,500 undergraduates and 4,000 graduate students, giving it one of the lowest student-faculty ratios among major U.S. research universities. Rice is organized into schools including the George R. Brown School of Engineering, Jones Graduate School of Business, and Wiess School of Natural Sciences. It is classified as an R1 research university and is a member of the Association of American Universities. Rice's location in Houston places it within one of the largest energy, medical, and aerospace hubs in the United States, and the university is particularly known for engineering, business, and natural sciences research.
