    COVID-19 Update for Prospective Students and Families:

    Many graduate programs at Rice are moving to a GRE optional (but encouraged) model. Rice has announced our expectation that all students, except for those with an approved waiver for medical or religious reasons, will be vaccinated prior to the start of the fall semester. We will work with students to ensure that they get the vaccine upon arrival and to avoid delays in their academic program. Learn More
