I have a PMP. Is it worth going to Rice University to get a Technical Project management certificate or just getting a scrum master certificate?

Your PMP is a good start. I would go with a CSM with Scrum Alliance as the next piece. Most companies are trying to adopt agile and sort of treat the PM role as a Scrum Master. There are similar responsibilities but earning the CSM will show you those differences and the difficulty level is easy to moderate. A lot of PM postings will show CSM preferred along with PMP required.
