Rice University

Rice University is a comprehensive private research university located on a 300-acre tree-lined campus in Houston, Texas. Established in 1912, Rice is consistently ranked among the nation’s top universities and is home to highly regarded schools of engineering, architecture, business, humanities, music, natural sciences, and social sciences.

Rice pursues pathbreaking research and creates innovative collaboration opportunities that contribute to the betterment of the world, with particular strengths in areas such as health, climate, energy, and the arts. Its small size fosters close interaction between students and faculty, and its distinctive residential college system builds a strong sense of community among students.

While Rice is a secular research university rather than a Jewish-specific organization, it hosts an active Jewish student life, including a Rice Hillel chapter and a Program in Jewish Studies, making it a relevant partner institution within the broader Jewish communal and educational landscape of Houston.
