Rice graduate students in computer science work side-by-side with some of the best teachers and scientists in the field today. Among the computer science faculty are four recipients of the National Science Foundation CAREER Award, members of the National Academy of Engineering and of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, and fellows of the Association for Computing Machinery, the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering and of the World Technology Network.
"I was attracted to Rice, in part, because it was affordable here compared to other top schools. Rice had the best stipends, and the cost of living is low compared to other large cities. When you're an international student, that's really important."
