EXPLORE LIFE AT RICE

What if you could get a first-hand
look at life at Rice

  • Our Academic Projects at Rice series highlights different student projects within each school of study. This Engineering at Rice post highlights Lily's internship working with a research associate at the Baker Institute of Public Policy, exploring the interdisciplinary intersections of public policy and environmental engineering.

  • At Rice, we encourage students to explore their academic interests across borders through study abroad. With over 200 programs across all seven continents (including Antarctica), there are plenty of options for students to explore that may not be offered at Rice. Read along to hear about Devika's experience at Milan Fashion Week during her program this semester!

  • Though Rice has recently added a business major for undergraduates, there has been a thriving community of business students and organizations at Rice for years! Joining a business-related club is a great way to learn about potential career paths, develop business skills, and make new friends.

  • As a leading research university with a distinctive commitment to undergraduate education, Rice University aspires to pathbreaking research, unsurpassed teaching, and contribution to the betterment of our world. It seeks to fulfill this mission by cultivating a diverse community of learning and discovery that produces leaders across the spectrum of human endeavor.

  • In its popular Big Questions courses, the School of Humanities invites students from diverse academic backgrounds and career interests to experience how humanistic and artistic inquiry can help them make sense of our world and the daily dilemmas we face. Course subjects vary, but each shares a common goal of engaging students in a deep dive into those life-changing questions we ponder well beyond college and that comprise the core of a liberal arts education. Hear from Joselyn about her experience!

  • Experiences abroad can be extremely rewarding, as Zach found through his internship this past summer in Paris, France. We asked him a few questions to learn more about what he worked on and his incredible experience working in the heart of Paris. 

  • Study abroad experiences can be more than simply taking class in a different country, as Drew found out during her trip to Cosa, Italy, where she worked on an archeological dig as part of the Program in Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations. Read more about what she enjoyed most about the experience as well as how valuable it was to her future endeavors.

  • Study abroad can be a life-changing experience for students, and Rice has so many programs to choose from. Learn more about Linda's time studying abroad as she shares her favorite parts about living and learning in Pamplona, Spain with the Rice in Country program.

  • Meet Linda Wu, a rising senior in Baker College, with this Q&A on her experience with the Elizabeth Lee Moody Undergraduate Research Fellowship in the Humanities and the Arts.

  • The Rice Research Anthology series continues with the WorKing Resilience Lab housed within the Department of Psychological Sciences. Learn more about the research this lab conducts and what students love about working on topics of industrial and organizational psychology.

  • We not only celebrate, but actively seek out broad diversity across our student body as a central and meaningful part of the student experience at Rice University, which includes support for making the transition to campus. Check out these resources we've compiled for Black students coming to Rice.

  • In this edition of "Rice Research Anthology," our series covering different types of research at Rice University, we catch up with the Houston Asian American Archive (HAAA) and the important archival work their student interns are doing.
