Dean Sanders' Welcome
Welcome
to the Rice University Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies website.
Rice offers advanced degrees in the humanities, social sciences, natural
sciences, engineering, architecture, music, and business. With a graduate
enrollment of just over 2300, graduate students comprise 40% of the total Rice
student body. Our programs are small to medium-sized, offering the opportunity
to work very closely with graduate advisors. Proximity to both the Houston
Museum District and the renowned Texas Medical Center allows for exceptional
access to the visual arts as well as cutting-edge biomedical research. Our many
interdisciplinary centers and institutes enhance the experience of graduate
students across all disciplines. For a look at graduate education across all of
our schools, please take the Graduate
Studies Virtual Tour and visit our admissions site for information about
our graduate departments and programs. If you have questions that aren’t answered on our website, please e-mail graduate@rice.edu or call us at 713-348-4002.
