Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

The George R. Brown School of Engineering is a place where women thrive. Bucking national trends, they make up more than 35% of engineering undergraduates. That’s because women engineers find a supportive environment at Rice Engineering bolstered by talented faculty who are comprised of 21% women, ranking 8th among self reporting AAU institutions.
