Our Alumni Are Everywhere
The Rice University School of Engineering and Computing Master's Program alumni are everywhere. Some at NASA. Some at Google, Apple, Amazon. Some at the Federal Reserve or ExxonMobil. Some at Instagram. Many working in Houston's health, energy and tech sectors.
What connects them isn't the company name on their badge. It's that they know each other. They recommend each other. They solve problems together. And they look out for the next generation of Rice engineers.
That's the network you're joining.
