-This was an academically rigorous, high quality program. The professors were excellent. This was really not a part-time program, but a full-time program offered in the evening. In the second year, there was little separation between the programs, and full-time and evening students were mixed in classes. Rice does a great job of fostering community, which may be difficult in a program where many students are busy working and commuting. I have made some lifelong friends and great network contacts! I would definitely, and already have, recommended this program to trusted friends and colleagues.
