Compared to UT, Rice is stronger in the other fields

</p>

<p>Just curious… which other fields is Rice stronger than UT in? UT seems to be ranked #1 in Texas in most academic departments.</p>

<p>

While UT (with 37,389 students) may have more NAE member on faculty in total (you say 20, but I saw 30 active ones on this list -<a href=“Custom 404 page”>Custom 404 page), Rice (with only 3000 undergrads) has 15 NAE member in their engineering school. So Rice has SUBSTANTIALLY more NAE members per student than UT!

</p>

<p>Per the USNWR engineering grad program rankings, UT has a higher percentage of engineering faculty in the NAE. So in terms of depth of faculty, the advantage is UT. But yes, in terms of faculty/student Rice has the advantage.</p>
