At Rice, we take knowledge seriously. Of course, that doesn’t mean we don’t have fun. We do. But in the deepest sense, we understand that only those things taken seriously are really fun. If you like this idea, you will like Rice. When you study here, you’ll get more than just a world-class education: The university offers tremendous learning experiences in the classroom and out — across campus, in the city and throughout the world. With more than 3,000 undergraduates, Rice offers the best of both worlds: an exceptional educational experience offered by professors who know your name.
With the fiscal year coming to a close, Rice University is well on its way towards establishing a foundation for another century of excellence. The Centennial Campaign overcame Hurricane Ike and the nation's lingering economic downturn to raise $552.7 million in its first fiscal year — more than half of its goal. That's good enough for the third-largest fundraising year in Rice's history.
