Rice University is a private research university in Houston, Texas, classified as Research 1 for very high research spending and doctorate production. The institution enrolls 8,556 students and maintains highly selective admissions, with an acceptance rate of 7.9%. Engineering is the primary undergraduate major.
Tuition is $60,314 annually, with a total cost of attendance of $78,414 when room and board are included. The published cost is the same for in-state and out-of-state students. However, Rice meets 100% of demonstrated financial need for all admitted students, and the average student receives substantial institutional aid, resulting in most students paying significantly less than the published rates.
The 75th percentile SAT Reading score is 770 and SAT Math is 800; the 75th percentile ACT Composite score is 36. This school suits students with strong quantitative preparation who are drawn to research-active science and engineering programs within a small, selective community.
