Rice University offers an excellent Ph.D. program in mathematics. Our graduate study program features qualities that set us apart from other mathematics graduate programs in other high-ranking universities.
Rice University provides a unique learning environment for graduate study. With approximately 22 faculty and 30 graduate students in the department, the low student-to-faculty ratio encourages easy interaction.
In this comfortable milieu, faculty members can take a personal interest in their students, both during their graduate studies and after graduation. Our students also have the opportunity to interact with graduate students and faculty in the Rice Department of Computational and Applied Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science.
Rice's graduate students live off campus, either in nearby rental properties or at the university-owned Rice Graduate Apartments, Morningside Square Apartments or the Rice Village Apartments. Learn more about Rice's convenient graduate student housing options.
We encourage you to visit Rice at any time for a firsthand look at the department and the beautiful, tree-lined campus near the heart of historic Houston. If you apply and are admitted, you will be invited to visit the campus later at departmental expense. During your time here, you will not only visit faculty, but you'll be hosted by current graduate students from whom you can learn more about graduate life and lifestyles in Houston.
