NOTE: This catalog represents the most accurate information available at the time
of publication. However, it necessarily cannot reflect changes in staff and costs over
the longer term. As far as courses are concerned, the departments have used their best
judgn:ent in anticipating which courses will be offered over the one-year period and
when they will be offered. Despite their best efforts, though, the inevitable changes in
faculty as well as student demand and even funding, insomecases, may affect course
offerings. A good faith effort has been made to indicate these uncertainties appropri-
ately: however, these provisions are subject to change without notice.

The University and
the Campus
Dedicated to the "the advancement of letters, science, and art," Rice is
private, independeit, nonsectarian, and coeducational. It includes among its
academic divisions both undergraduate and graduate studies in the humanities,
social sciences, natural sciences, engineering, architecture, administrative sci-
ences, and music.
Highly talented students with diverse interests are attracted to Rice by the
opportunities for creative learning. They find rewarding student-faculty relation-
ships, options for individually tailored programs of study, opportunities for
research, cooperative activities with other institutions in the nation's fourth
largest city, and the unique experience of residential colleges.
About 60 percent of Rice's 2,500 undergraduate students live on campus in
the eight residential colleges. The colleges have independent student governments,
plan social functions, field intramural teams, and sponsor innovative academic
courses, distinguished speakers, plays, and other functions. In each college, the
college master, comaster, and approximately 20 faculty associates act as advisers
to the students. This system provides students and faculty with a style of living in
keeping with the tenets of fine education.
Rice's approximately 1 ,000 graduate students work closely with faculty mem-
bers who are eminent in their fields and conduct innovative research to extend the
horizons of current knowledge. Graduate students live off campus or in the
University-owned Graduate House. The Graduate Student Association organizes
and funds regular social activities and provides graduate students with a separate
organization to represent their interests within the University.
A look through the archway of Lovett Hall shows even the casual visitor why
the 300-acre Rice campus is widely acclaimed for its dignified yet casual beauty.
Approximately 40 permanent buildings are conveniently grouped in quadrangles
under graceful live oak trees. The city's largest stadium, the Fondren Library, the
Media Center, the gymnasium, and the computer center as well as its dramatic and
musical presentations make Rice "behind the hedges" a community unto itself.
Yet, only three miles from downtown Houston, Rice students enjoy all the com-
mercial and cultural advantages of a major metropolitan center.

Chairs and Lectureships
Throughout its history. Rice University has been especially fortunate in the
number of its friends and benefactors. Some of these are memorialized in the
names of buildings and special physical facilities; others have generously provided
for the enrichment of the University's intellectual life by establishing chairs and
lectureships either on a temporary or permanent basis. Rice takes pleasure in
recognizing on these pages some of these contributors to its academic excellence.

Degree Requirements,
Majors, and Curricula
Al! degrees conferred by Rice University, both graduate and undergraduate,
are awarded solely in recognition of educational attainments, not as warranty of
future employment or admission to other programs of higher education.
The Bachelor of Arts degree at Rice is awarded with a designated major in
some field of architecture, the humanities, music, social sciences, science, engi-
neering, or with an interdepartmental major in managerial or policy studies, or
with an approved area major. The general university requirements for the B.A.
degree, as well as the options open to students in their choice of majors, are
described below.
The Bachelor of Music, which is offered by the Shepherd School of Music, may
be taken as a separate undergraduate degree or in conjunction with the Master of
Music when both are awarded simultaneously on completion of a five-year pro-
gram of professional studies.
The Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Administration offers accelerated
"five-year" master's degree plans in accounting and management which may be
combined with any undergraduate major. Rice undergraduates may also complete
the Master of Accounting program in one year of graduate study if they have taken
a prescribed set of prerequisite courses by the end of their senior year.
The various engineering departments also offer the Bachelor of Science degree
which, like the B.A., normally requires four years for completion.
For students interested in teaching in secondary schools, a program of teacher
training leading to certification in the State of Texas may be completed together
with the B.A. degree. This program is administered by the Department of
Education.
Programs that satisfy the requirements for admission to medical, dental, or
law school are available in conjunction with the various majors.
Degree Requirements and Majors
Graduation and University Credit Requirements
Students completing a Bachelor of Arts degree must pass a minimum of 120
semester hours. In establishing an undergraduate major for the Bachelor of Arts
64 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
degree, departments must specify a minimum of 1 8 semester hours for majors in
the humanities and social sciences and a minimum of 24 semester hours for majors
in science. No department may specify more than 80 semester hours (related
laboratories, required courses, and prerequisites included). For a Bachelor of Arts
degree in any discipline other than architecture students must pass a minimum of
60 semester hours in addition to major requirements specified by their depart-
ment. Architecture majors must pass at least 38 semester hours in addition to their
major requirements.
To fulfill the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in one of the
several branches of engineering, with the exception of chemical engineering,
students must pass no fewer than 134 semester hours. Students fulfilling the
requirements for the Bachelor of Science in chemical engineering must pass up to
137 semester hours, depending on accreditation requirements. In establishing a
departmental major for the degree of Bachelor of Science in one of the various
branches of engineering, with the exception of chemical engineering, no depart-
ment may specify more than 92 semester hours (required courses, prerequisites,
and related laboratories included). In establishing the departmental major for the
B.S. in chemical engineering, the department may specify no more than the
semester hours necessary to meet the requirements of the accrediting agency, up to
a maximum total of 104 semester hours (required courses, prerequisites, and
related laboratories included).
For either bachelor's degree, no fewer than 48 semester hours completed in
fulfillment of the degree requirements must be on an advanced level (numbered
300 or higher) and more than 50 percent of these hours must be completed at Rice.
Furthermore, students must complete more than 50 percent of the advanced level
requirements in their major field at Rice. Within major requirements, depart-
ments may specify that a higher proportion of advanced level work must be taken
at Rice.
After students have fulfilled University distribution requirements, the major
requirements, the physical education requirement, and the English composition
requirement, all remaining courses in their degree programs are free electives.
Transfer students must be registered at Rice for at least four full semesters
during the fall and spring terms and must complete not less than 60 semester hours
at Rice for a Rice degree.
To be recommended for graduation, all students must complete their degree
requirements with a minimum GPA of 1.67 in all Rice courses and a minimum
GPA of 2.00 for those courses presented in fulfillment of their major requirements.
Students must be registered with the University in the semester immediately
preceding the awarding of their degrees. Students who have completed their degree
requirements in the summer or fall prior to that semester or who are completing
their senior year at another college or university by special arrangement with the
Committee on Examinations and Standing must register in order to be listed as
degree candidates.
The Committee on Examinations and Standing reviews student records at the
time of graduation and recommends to the faculty outstanding students to be
granted degrees cum laude, magna cum laudcov summa cum laude.
CURRICULA AND DEGREES 65
University Distribution Requirements
In April 1 987 the faculty of the University approved a new set of distribution
requirements which came into effect in the fall of 1 988. Students entering prior to
that time may elect to fulfill the new requirements or those that were in effect at the
time of their matriculation.
Students who entered Rice University in the fall of 1 988 with at least 30 hours
of credit may qualify for graduation under the 1 987 or 1 988 distribution require-
ments. Students who enter in the fall of 1989 with at least 60 semester hours of
credit may elect the 1987 distribution requirements.
Distribution Requirements for Students Entering in 1988 and
Subsequently
1 . Students entering Rice University in the fall of 1 988 and thereafter must,
except as described above, satisfy a new set of distribution requirements for
the purposes of graduation. These requirements are designed to improve the
general education of undergraduates by providing exposure to widely varying
academic disciplines. To this end, each student must successfully complete
foundation courses in areas that lie outside his or her major. In addition, each
student must choose from designated subject groups a prescribed number of
courses, either by electing them all for their individual interest or by electing
those in a related sequence (a coherent minor).
2. Students will satisfy distribution requirements by taking approved distri-
bution courses in the following subject groups:
Group I. Literature and language, art and art history, classics, philosophy
(except logic), religion, music, and humanities.
Group II. Economics, history, political science, anthropology, linguistics,
psychology, and sociology.
Group III. Biological science, physical science, engineering, mathematics,
mathematical sciences, logic, statistics, and computer science.
3. Coherent minors will be in place beginning in the fall of 1989. They
comprise a related sequence of three or more courses and are designed to
encourage students to explore subjects in depth and to appreciate the cumula-
tive or interrelated character of knowledge. The approved list of minors,
updated annually, is available in the Registrar's Office and in the Office of
Student Advising. The minors may involve related courses that are all in one
department or that cross several departments and even divisions; some may
also require prerequisites. Coherent minors that include courses from more
than one subject group should, for purposes of satisfying distribution require-
ments, be considered on a course-by-course basis. No courses submitted for a
coherent minor can be taken on a pass/fail basis, and to receive credit for the
minor an average grade of 2.00 or higher must be obtained across all the
courses in the sequence. Successful completion of a coherent minor will be
noted on a student's transcript.
4. Distribution Requirements by Major.
A. Majors in Group I and Group II Subjects.
1 . Foundation Courses (6 semester hours).
66 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Natural Science 101, 102. These courses will provide an intro-
duction to the principles underlying physics, chemistry, and
mathematics. Students who have successfully completed one
semester ofMathematics (any calculus course), one semester of
Physics (101, 102, 121, 122), and one semester of Chemistry
(101, 102) — or who have received three hours of advanced
placement in each of these three areas are not required to take
Natural Science 101, 102. Students who have successfully com-
pleted two semesters (or six hours of advanced placement credit)
in any two of these three areas are also not required to take
Natural Science 101, 102.

D. Other Majors
1 . Human Performance/Health Sciences.
Same as Group I majors.
2. Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations.
Same as Group I majors.
3. Policy and Managerial Studies.
Same as Group II majors.
4. Area majors. To be determined at the time of approval.
4. The list of individual courses approved for distribution is updated annu-
ally. Approved courses are designated in the Schedule of Courses offered,
published by the Registrar. A complete list of approved distribution courses is
also available in the Registrar's Office and in the Office of Student Advising.
Courses fulfill distribution requirements provided they are taken at the time
they are on the approved list. Individual appeals are heard by the Committee
on Examinations and Standing.
5. The first semester of a beginning language course will not count toward
the distribution requirements unless the second semester is also completed. If
a student has sufficient background to begin with the second semester course,
distribution credit will be granted for that course.
68 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
6. A student who double majors in a Group I or Group II discipline and a
Group III discipline is not required to take any of the foundation courses.
Such students must successfully complete four courses each in Group I, Group
II, and Group III to satisfy the distribution requirement.
Skills
English Competency Requirement. Every Rice student must demonstrate
competency in English comprehension and composition. This requirement is
satisfied by passing the English composition examination administered by the
Department of English to all entering students during orientation week. Students
who fail to pass this test are required to enroll in English 1 03, a one-semester course
in composition which carries both degree and distribution credit. Satisfactory
completion of this course then fulfills the English competency requirement.
Physical Education. Each student must pass two semester courses in basic
health and physical education, although these courses do not count toward the
semester hours required for a degree. Handicapped students may satisfy this
requirement by taking individual instruction or classes arranged specifically to
meet their needs.
Departmental Majors and Honors Programs
Students normally designate a major before preliminary registration for the
junior year. To assist students with this selection. Majors Day is held early in the
spring semester. Departments and preprofessional offices provide information
about their programs at a central location. Once a student declares a major, the
department or title of the major is then noted on the student's transcript and a
faculty adviser is assigned. Introductory courses taken before formal designation
of a major may be counted in fulfilling the major requirements.
In order to receive a bachelor's degree, a student must complete the require-
ments for at least one major. Students declare their major using a form provided by
the Registrar. The department chair or designee must sign the form acknowledging
the declaration. It is expected that the department will counsel the student about
the requirements that must be met and the likelihood the student will be able to
meet them. If the department believes a student is not well prepared for success in
its major, it may express its reservations on the form. No department or program
may, however, refuse to admit an undergraduate as a major, with the exception of
the School of Architecture and the Shepherd School of Music or in the case of
limitations of resources. In such cases departments must publish criteria they will
use to limit the number of majors together with their major requirements. Students
normally declare a major by the time of preregistration for the spring semester of
their sophomore year and will not be permitted to register for the fall semester of
the junior year without having declared a major. Students are always free to change
departmental majors in the junior or senior year, although this may entail one or
more additional semesters at the University. Students and their advisers should
regularly review progress toward their degrees.
For information on the specific requirements for any departmental major,
students should consult the departmental listings under Courses of Instruction and
seek the advice of a faculty member in the department.
CURRICULA AND DEGREES 69
Undergraduate honors programs are open to qualified students, with depart-
mental approval, in several departments. Through small classes and seminars,
independent reading or research projects, and close contact with faculty research,
students in an honors program may accelerate study in their major fields and, in
some cases, enter graduate courses. Information on the qualifications for admis-
sion and the content of honors programs may be found in the departmental listings
under Courses of Instruction.
Second Four-year Bachelor's degree
Both currently enrolled and former Rice students already holding a bachelor's
degree from Rice may earn a second different four-year bachelor's degree from
Rice.
Students already enrolled at Rice may begin work on a second four-year
bachelor's degree before completion of the first:
1 . by being accepted for the second major by the major department and
fulfilling all requirements for the second degree;
2. by completing a minimum of 30 additional semester hours at Rice
beyond the hours required for their first degree, to be applied to the
second degree.
Current Rice students seeking admission to this program should apply to the
Registrar. The application should include a written statement of both proposed
majors, and a course program for each. This statement should also contain a
notation of approval from the chairman or undergraduate advisor from each
department concerned, indicating that all major degree requirements will be
satisfied with the proposed course program. Students holding a bachelor's degree
from Rice may earn a different four-year bachelor's degree from Rice:
1 . by being accepted for the major by the major department and fulfilling all
requirements for the second degree;
2. by completing a minimum of 30 additional semester hours at Rice
beyond their first bachelor's degree to be applied to the second degree;
3. by attending in full-time residence at Rice for at least two semesters
during the fall or spring terms beyond their first bachelor's degree.
For Rice graduates who enroll for a second undergraduate degree, the entire
undergraduate record continues cumulatively.
Former Rice students seeking admission to this program should apply to the
Registrar. The application should include a written statement of the proposed
major and course program for the second degree, a supporting letter from the
chairman of the major department, and an explanation of the student's reasons for
seeking a second degree.
Students with a bachelor's degree from schools other than Rice may earn a
four-year bachelor's degree in a different major from Rice.
1 . by being accepted for the major by the major department and fulfilling all
requirements for the second degree;
2. by completing a minimum of 60 semester hours at Rice to be applied to
their Rice degree;
3. by attending in full-time residence at Rice for at least four semesters
during the fall or spring term.
70 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Students with a bachelor's degree from schools other than Rice should apply
for admission to the admission office and will be considered according to the
procedures and criteria for transfer students. Their application for admission must
include all the materials listed above for applicants who are former Rice students
plus an official transcript of the first degree.
Courses completed at Rice as a Class III student may be applied to a second
undergraduate degree only on approval by the major department for that degree.
Information concerning financial aid available to participants in the second
degree program may be secured from the financial aid office. Students admitted to
the second degree program may request to be assigned to a College but will have
lower priority for on-campus housing than students enrolled for a first four-year
bachelor's program. The expectation is that such space will probably not be
available.
Summer School
Rice Summer School offers a variety of credit programs for Rice students,
visiting undergraduates, graduate students and Class III students (non-degree
graduate program). Admission is automatic for any Rice undergraduate or gradu-
ate student in good standing. Other students will need to send official transcripts
(mailed directly from their universities and colleges to the Office of Continuing
Studies) and to complete an application. Six to eight credit hours is considered to
be a full load. All applicants should submit their applications with a $25 fee and a
$ 1 5 per credit hour deposit by the May 1 5 deadline (earlier for certain courses and
trips). Because the Summer Program operates on a cost-return basis it is essential
that students apply by the deadline. Courses that do not generate an enrollment
sufficient to pay costs by the deadline may be canceled. Students will have the
option of enrolling in another comparable course or receiving a refund. Applica-
tions will be accepted through late May, with an additional $25 late fee.
Tuition ($ 165 per credit hour in 1 989) must be paid before classes begin. The
session begins the second week of June for most courses. Very limited financial aid
is available for Rice students only. Auditing is permitted only with full payment of
tuition and fees.
For more information, please contact the Rice Summer Program at (7 1 3) 520-
6022 or 527-4803.
Areas of Study
Architecture
Students interested in architecture may choose from programs leading to
either the Bachelor of Arts or the Bachelor of Architecture degree. The Bachelor of
Arts requires four years of study with a major in architecture. Students who have
completed or will complete the four-year B.A. with a major in architecture may
apply for admission to the Bachelor of Architecture program. An architectural
studies major is available to students who have alternate career goals after their
second year of study.
CURRICULA AND DEGREES 7 1
Students accepted into the Bachelor of Architecture program in their fifth year
are assigned to a working preceplorship with an architectural firm and return to
Rice to complete a sixth year of architectural study for the degree. (Note that the
major in architectural studies does not lead to the B.Arch.) Further information on
these programs may be found under Architecture in the Courses of Instruction
section.
Engineering
The George R. Brown School of Engineering at Rice offers, through its seven
departments, opportunities for a variety of curriculum and degree choices. Stu-
dents interested in the engineering profession may major in chemical engineering,
civil engineering, computer science, electrical and computer engineering, mathe-
matical sciences, mechanical engineering, or materials science and engineering for
both undergraduate and graduate degrees. They may also take a double major
combining environmental science with another science or engineering field. These
programs lead to either the B. A. or B.S. degree and may qualify students for further
study leading to a fifth-year professional master's degree, a Master of Science
degree, or a Doctor of Philosophy degree.
During the first two years, engineering students should consult with the chairs
of the departments of interest or with the special first and second-year advisers
appointed by each department for information and advice about details of the
programs and choice of electives and about engineering as a profession.
Students may take a program of study during their first year which satisfies the
first year requirements for all engineering departments. A listing of these courses
and other information regarding the first two years of study is found under
Engineering and Applied Science in the Courses of Instruction section of this
catalog. Degree requirements and advanced courses are listed under the separate
departmental listings in the same section.
Humanities
In the School of Humanities, majors are offered in art and art history, classics,
English, French, German, health and physical education, history, linguistics,
philosophy, religious studies, Russian, and Spanish.
An interdepartmental major in policy studies, which combines courses from
the School of Humanities and the School of Social Sciences, is described on page
73.
The requirements of each major may be found in the departmental listings
under Courses of Instruction and are also available from the department chair and
from the Registrar's Office.
Two special programs, the Program in the Humanities and the Joint Venture
Program, sponsored by the Career Services Center, are also described in the
Courses of Instruction under the heading Humanities.
72 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Managerial Studies
The managerial studies major is a preprofessional program for students
planning management careers in either the private or public sector. The program is
interdepartmental and leads to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, either as a terminal
degree or as preparation for graduate professional studies in accounting, law,
business, or public management. Courses are drawn from the Departments of
Economics, Computer Science, Mathematical Sciences, Statistics, Political Sci-
ence, and Psychology and include accounting courses offered as a service by the
Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Administration.
The program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive under-
standing both of the environment in which business firms operate and of the tools
employed by management in making decisions. To major in managerial studies,
students must complete 45 semester hours of approved coursework in the follow-
ing subject areas: (1) accounting, (2) economics, (3) finance, (4) statistics, (5)
quantitative methods, (6) computing, (7) business law, and (8) psychology. A list of
approved courses is available from the program director, Professor Stephen A.
Zeff, 352 Herring Hall, or from the managerial studies program advisers in each of
the participating departments.
An honors program is available in managerial studies. This program is de-
signed ( 1 ) to provide students with the opportunity to enrich and to expand their
knowledge of the managerial disciplines by means of specified advanced course
work and/or independent research and writing and (2) to provide recognition for
students who have demonstrated unusual competency in managerial studies.
Students admitted to the honors program may elect certain graduate courses in
accounting and administration as part of their major requirements.
The managerial studies program is administered by a committee consisting of
faculty from the Departments of Computer Science, Economics, Mathematical
Sciences, Statistics, Political Science, Psychology, and the Jones Graduate School
of Administration as well as student representatives. The program director chairs
this committee. Student records for all managerial studies majors are maintained
in the office of the program director. The managerial studies program director
assigns students an adviser closely related to the area in which they intend to
specialize. Students should consult with their adviser as early as possible to ensure
establishment of an appropriate plan of study.
While Rice does not offer an undergraduate degree in either accounting or
business administration, there is a special "five-year" plan by which Rice under-
graduates can apply to enter accelerated degree programs for the Master of
Business Administration (which includes concentration programs in accounting
and in public and nonprofit management) or Master of Accounting (see Account-
ing and Administrative Science). Rice undergraduates may also complete the
Master of Accounting program in one year of graduate study if they have taken a
prescribed set of prerequisite courses by the end of their senior year. For details,
contact the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Administration in Herring Hall.
Music
The Shepherd School of Music offers four degrees: the Bachelor of Arts degree
in music; the Bachelor of Music degree in performance, composition, music
CURRICULA AND DEGREES 73
history, and music theory; the Master of Music degree in performance, composi-
tion, choral and instrumental conducting, musicology and music theory; and the
Doctor of Musical Arts degree in composition and selected areas of performance.
Normally, four years are required for the bachelor's degrees and two years for the
master's. Qualified students may elect an honors program that leads to the simulta-
neous awarding of the Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees after five
years of study. The final two years of the B.Mus./M.Mus. program are devoted to
specialization and can be entered only upon passing qualifying examinations
administered in the fifth or sixth semester.
More detailed information about the Shepherd School and the requirements
for degrees is given under Music in the Courses of Instruction section of this
catalog.
Natural Sciences
The Wiess School of Natural Sciences comprises the Departments of Bio-
chemistry and Cell Biology, Chemistry, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology,
Geology and Geophysics, Mathematics, Physics, and Space Physics and Astrono-
my. All but the Space Physics and Astronomy Department offer programs leading
to the B.A. degree. Students may also elect double majors combining one of the
programs in natural sciences with another science, the humanities, or an engineer-
ing field. The requirements for each major may be found in the departmental
listings under Courses of Instruction, and are also available from the department
chair and from the Registrar's Office.
Policy Studies
Policy studies is a liberal arts oriented interdisciplinary major focusing on
policy issues that are of public interest. Evaluation and analysis of the determi-
nants and effects of policy decisions are the central subject matter. It is a course of
study concerned with theoretical issues as well as applied and prescriptive policy
questions.
The policy studies major represents an area of concentration which can be
taken only as a second major, complementary to a major in any University
department. The intent of the major is to provide students from a wide variety of
academic backgrounds with an understanding of the policy-making process and an
intellectual foundation in the skills of policy makers and evaluators. Students in
the fields of engineering and basic sciences considering professions in business
and/or government would benefit from an understanding of how technical innova-
tions or regulations are adopted and implemented as matters of public policy.
Students in humanistic fields such as languages or English would receive systemat-
ic exposure to areas of study which have high intellectual appeal and in which their
language skills might prove to be particularly valuable. Students should consult the
Policy Studies section under Courses of Instruction for the list of requirements.
The administration of the program is in the hands of a committee consisting of
representatives from the Departments of Anthropology (Professor Marcus) Eco-
nomics (Professor Rimlinger), Philosophy (Professor Brody), Political Science
(Professor Stein), Psychology (Professor Dipboye), Sociology (Professor David-
son), Mathematical Sciences (Professor Scott), and History (Professor Wiener).
74 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
The chair of the committee is Professor Stein. Students interested in pohcy studies
should see Professor Stein, who will assign them an adviser closely related to their
field of interest.
Social Sciences
The School of Social Sciences offers majors in anthropology, behavioral
science, economics, political science, psychology, sociology, and statistics.
The interdepartmental major policy studies, which overlaps the School of
Social Sciences, the School of Engineering, and the School of Humanities, is
outlined below. The managerial studies major, which overlaps the School of Social
Sciences, the Jones School, and the School of Engineering, is described below.
The requirements of each major may be found in the departmental listings
under Courses of Instruction and are also available from the department chair and
from the Registrar's Office.
Otiier Options for Undergraduate Majors
In deciding on a major, students are encouraged to select a course of study
directed toward their personal goals. Several options are available besides the
normal major in most departments. Further information on these may be found in
the departmental listings.
1 . Areas of concentration within departmental majors. Certain majors, in-
cluding architecture, electrical engineering, German, physics, and Span-
ish, but not limited to these, have a choice of different areas of concentra-
tion with different course requirements within the department major.
2. Double or triple majors that fulfill the major requirements of two or three
departments. The majors may, but need not, be in related fields: for
example, computer science/math science or biology/English.
3. Interdepartmental majors. Interdepartmental majors are offered in chem-
istry with materials science or physics. Geophysics, behavioral science,
managerial studies, and policy studies are examples of majors combining
courses taught by faculty from several departments.
4. Area majors. Instead of selecting an established departmental major or
program, students have the option of developing an area major which is
closer to their particular interests and career goals. Whereas double
majors must conform to the requirements of both departments, an area
major is a single major that combines courses from two or more depart-
ments and forms a clearly coherent program with its own major require-
ments. An area major is normally initiated by the student and is worked
out in conjunction with the Office of Student Advising and faculty
advisers from each of the departments involved. Together they must
agree on a title, which will then designate the area major on the student's
transcript, followed by the names of cooperating departments: for exam-
ple, problems of the contemporary city (architecture, sociology, environ-
mental science, and engineering). The requirements for each area major
are approved by the faculty advisers and certified by the Office of Student
Advising, who are jointly responsible for the validity and acceptability of
the program as a degree plan. In addition, students who elect to take an
CURRICULA AND DEGREES 75
area major must also complete all other University graduation
requirements.
Students who might want to develop an area major but are uncertain
which departments to approach should consult with the Office of Student
Advising during the sophomore year. Area majors may not be formulated
and approved within three semesters of graduation other than in excep-
tional circumstances which would be determined by the Committee on
Examinations and Standing. Under no circumstances may an area major
be declared in the final semester before graduation.
All applications for area majors must be certified by the Office of Student
Advising before they are accepted by the Registrar. A student who
chooses an area major may not double major in any other major.
Premedical, Prelaw, and Prebusiness Programs
In addition to the preprofessional and professional programs offered by Rice
in accounting, architecture, business administration, engineering, public and
nonprofit management, and music, a student may pursue a program which will
satisfy the requirements for admission to graduate professional schools in busi-
ness, dentistry, diplomacy and foreign affairs, health science, law, or medicine.
The health professions adviser counsels students interested in premedical or
predental studies and other areas of the health sciences. Those interested in
prelegal studies should consult the prelaw adviser. Information about a career in
business, finance, or accounting can be obtained from the prebusiness adviser.
These advisers may be contacted through their offices in the Ley Student Center.
Students who plan to enter medical school or other professional or graduate
school at the end of their junior year at Rice can arrange to receive a Rice four-year
bachelor's degree by submitting to the Committee on Examinations and Standing
a degree plan which fulfills all normal University and departmental requirements
for the bachelor's degree. The degree plan must be submitted before students begin
their graduate or professional training. Transfer credit for courses not to exceed
the equivalent of ten courses of three or four semester hours are accepted if the
individual courses are acceptable to the student's major department and the
registrar according to normal procedures. Students who have entered Rice after
their first year must complete the minimum residence and course requirements for
transfer students before leaving. The Committee on Examinations and Standing
reviews the degree plan submitted by each student and gives final approval of the
student's admission to the program.
Premedical and Predental Programs. The entrance requirements for medical
and dental colleges of the United States are limited to relatively few courses: one
year each of general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology,
and English and laboratories required by the foregoing science courses. Because
medical and dental schools show little or no preference for any one major, students
planning a medical or dental career have the opportunity to choose their major on
the basis of their interests and capabilities. They should keep two objectives in
mind: (1) to secure a broadly based cultural background and (2) to master the
necessary skills for an alternative career. Those who elect to concentrate in the
76 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
sciences or engineering will automatically satisfy most of the entrance require-
ments. Students concentrating in the humanities need to make some adjustments
in their study plan in order to fulfill the entrance requirements. Premedical and
predental students are advised to discuss their plans with the health professions
adviser.
Prelaw Studies. The academic requirement for admission to law school is
satisfied by all degree programs offered at Rice. While many students major in
history, political science, or economics, as a base for prelaw studies, no law school
specifies particular courses or curricula as prerequisite to admission. Most require
only a baccalaureate degree and the Law School Admission Test.
The Prelaw Handbook, published by the Association of American Law
Schools and the Law School Admission Council, states that prelegal education
should develop oral and written comprehension and expression as well as creative
thinking and critical understanding of human values and that no one discipline is
uniquely concerned with those objectives. Therefore, prelaw students should
strive for development of their own capabilities within the areas of their greatest
interest. Although there is no required course of study for the student interested in
a legal career, the prelaw adviser recommends expository writing courses and
beginning accounting and economics courses as useful to any law student.
Interested students should contact the prelaw adviser early, preferably in their
first year at Rice. The prelaw handbook, reference books, and catalog of many
leading law schools are available in the prelaw office in the Ley Student Center.
Prelaw students are encouraged to discuss their plans with the prelaw adviser.
Prebusiness Studies. Graduate business schools consider a variety of attrib-
utes when admitting students to their Master of Business Administration (MBA)
programs:
1 . Scholastic aptitude, as evidenced by undergraduate grades and the score
on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT),
2. extracurricular activities,
3. work experience, and
4. ability to communicate effectively both in writing and orally.
No one undergraduate major is favored over another. Students intending to
study accounting or business administration at the graduate level are advised to
select an undergraduate major (or majors) in which their academic performance is
likely to be the strongest.
Regardless of one's undergraduate major, it would be wise to take Economics
2 1 1 and 2 1 2 and Accounting 305 as background courses. Since many major
business schools prefer students who have relevant full-time experience, these
courses will assist graduating seniors in obtaining employment in the private or
public sector.
Students who are considering application to a graduate business school are
encouraged to consult the prebusiness adviser early in their undergraduate years.
Graduate business schools differ in their objectives, curricula, teaching methods,
job placement possibilities, and admission standards, and prospective applicants
should endeavor to become versed in the programs of different schools before
beginning the application process. The prebusiness adviser can also suggest the
kinds of work experience which graduate business schools find to be the most
useful for prospective students.
Undergraduate students with exceptional academic records may apply for the
"five-year" plan offered by the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Administration.
CURRICULA AND DEGREES 77
Qualified students normally receive their bachelor's degree at the end of their
senior year. They then receive either the Master of Business Administration or
Master of Accounting degree at the end of their fifth year at Rice.
Rice undergraduates may also complete the Master of Accounting program in
one year of graduate study if they have taken the following prerequisite courses by
the end of their senior year: Accounting 305, 406, and 411; Economics 21 1 and
212; Economics 370 or 372; Mathematical Sciences 376; either Statistics 280,
Economics 350, or Psychology 339; and Political Science 309 and 3 1 0. Additional
recommended, but not required, courses are Statistics 381 and 480; Economics
375 and 448; and Psychology 101 and 231. No specific undergraduate major is
required for entrance into the program.
Reserve Officers'* Training Corps Programs
Rice University hosts a Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps program.
Students may participate in Army ROTC through a cross-enrollment program
with the University of Houston. These programs seek to train college students so
that upon graduation they may qualify as commissioned officers in a component of
the United States Army, Navy or Marine Corps. The Navy has two categories of
midshipmen, one working toward a Reserve commission and the other toward a
regular commission. The Army normally awards Reserve commissions; however,
certain selected distinguished military students may be offered commissions in the
regular Army.
Any student suspended by the University for academic failure or other cause
is immediately discharged from the ROTC programs. Any student performing
unsatisfactory work in military science or naval science courses or lacking satisfac-
tory officer-like qualities may be discharged from the ROTC programs regardless
of the quality of academic work. Enrollment in the ROTC programs at Rice
University is normally made at the beginning of the fall term. Courses in naval
science and military science are open to all students. These courses may be counted
as free electives toward satisfying degree requirements, but they may not be used to
satisfy any distribution requirements or departmental major requirements. The
amount of credit assigned to each course is determined by the Provost, in consulta-
tion with the Committee on the Undergraduate Curriculum. All such courses shall,
however, count toward the determination of probation, suspension, course load,
and grade point average.
Additional information regarding the ROTC programs and available scholar-
ships is given under Military Science and Naval Science in the Courses of Instruc-
tion section of this catalog.

Foreign Study Programs and Programs with Other
Universities
Institute of European Studies/Institute for Asian Studies
Rice is an affiliate university of the Institute for European Studies/Institute
for Asian studies, a system of centers abroad located in Durham, Freiburg,
London, Madrid, Milan, Nantes, Paris, Vienna, Singapore, Tokyo and Nagoya,
Japan. Each center offers a variety of opportunities to complement Rice major
programs or to develop new interests. In most cases, the institute center is associat-
ed with a host university, and students may take a combination of courses offered
by both the center and the university. Counselors and faculty from lES/IAS and the
host university advise students in the selection of appropriate courses, facilitate
registration at the university, arrange for university examinations, and provide
transcripts to Rice. Students considering foreign study should arrange for prior
approval of transfer credit through the academic department(s) involved and the
Registrar.
Butler University Institute for Study Abroad
An affiliation between Rice and Butler University Institute for Study Abroad
enables Rice students to enroll directly in 26 universities in England and Scotland
and 5 universities in Australia, either for the full academic year or for a one- or two-
term stay. The universities in Great Britain include a wide array of schools, both in
and out of London; the universities in Australia include the University of
Melbome and the University of Sydney. Butler University Institute for Study
Abroad also sponsors one- or two-semester thematic INSTEP programs that
concentrate on Politics and Law (London), Politics and Strategic Studies
(London), and Advanced Economics (Cambridge). The INSTEP program also
provides for optional internships with financial institutions in the City of London
at the end of the spring term.
Interested undergraduates may obtain brochures, applications, and informa-
tion about transfer of credit for the Butler programs in the Office of Student
Advising.
Beaver College Center for Education Abroad
Rice is also affiliated with Beaver College Center for Education Abroad,
which provides direct access to over 1 5 United Kingdom universities, among them
various branches of the University of London, University of Bristol, and the
University of Edinburgh. Beaver College also maintains a center in Vienna. These
universities offer courses of study for Rice students with majors in science,
engineering, the humanities, and the social sciences. Prior approval for transfer
credit should be arranged through the academic department(s) and the Registrar.
Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome
Another consortial affiliation provided to enhance the Rice undergraduate
experience is one centered in Rome, focusing on classical studies. Operated
82 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
through Stanford University's Overseas Studies, this semester-or year-long pro-
gram offers undergraduate courses in Greek and Latin literature, ancient history
and archaeology, and ancient art., taught by European and American professors.
Majors in Ancient Mediterranean Civilization are particularly encouraged to avail
themselves of this program, although other juniors or seniors majoring in art
history or classics would benefit, as well. Additional information on this and other
foreign programs may be obtained in the Office of Student Advising.
C. D. Broad Exchange Program with Trinity College, Cambridge
This exchange program sponsored by the Student Aid Foundation Enterprises
involves both students and faculty from Rice and Trinity College, Cambridge.
Student participation, available through receipt of a competitive award, confers
one year of study as a visiting student at Rice or at Trinity College in alternate
years. Similar but shorter exchanges of Rice and Trinity faculty members will also
be arranged through the program. The provost will appoint the Rice faculty
member for the exchange program.
Further information on the program may be obtained from the Office of
Student Advising.
Rice-University of Lancaster Exchange Program
Rice sophomores majoring or minoring in Economics and/or Managerial
Studies and maintaining a minimum GPA of 2.5 may qualify for an exchange
program with the University of Lancaster, a notable British university located in
northwestern England, just south of the Lake District. Applications should be
submitted to the Office of Student Advising early in the spring semester prior to the
school year spent abroad; finalists will be selected from among the applicants by
the faculty of the Department of Economics, in consultation with the Office of
Student Advising. Although recipients should enroll in at least one Economics
course while at the University of Lancaster, they may choose from a wide range of
other courses, as well.
The Rice-Lancaster exchange occurs on a one-for-one basis, and each student
pays tuition, room, and board to his or her home institution. The program must be
undertaken for a full academic year.
Rice-University of Wiirzburg Exchange Program
Through an agreement between the Physics Departments at Rice and the
University of Wurzburg, West Germany, undergraduates with a concentration in
physics (and, in some cases, electrical engineering) may participate in a year-long
exchange between the two schools. The exchange program at Wurzburg includes
an intensive German-language course taught in Germany prior to the fall term. To
be eligible. Rice students must have completed at least two years of college-level
German or the equivalent and must be selected through an application process in
spring of the year prior to the exchange. Courses of study, usually fourth-year
undergraduate level, must be arranged on an individual basis with members of the
two Physics Departments.
CURRICULA AND DEGREES 83
Applicants are generally named on a one-for-one basis of exchange. Each
student must cover tuition costs at his or her home institution, to be applied to the
exchange partner; other costs must be borne by the individual. Applications and
general information about this exchange may be obtained in the Office of Student
Advising and in the Physics Department.
Exchange Program with Federation of German-American Clubs
Students at Rice with a firm grounding in the German language, both written
and spoken, are eligible to compete for an exchange program co-sponsored by the
Federation of German-American Clubs and Rice. Applications may be obtained
from the Office of Student Advising and should be completed by mid-March.
Selection of Rice finalists is made by the faculty of the Department of German and
Slavic Studies, in cooperation with the Office of Student Advising. The number of
Rice finalists is usually limited to one or two a year, based on an even exchange
with German students.
This ten-month program provides for the Rice student's enrollment at one of
3ighteen outstanding German universities, professional schools, or technical
schools, depending on individual qualifications and field of study. The Federation
af German- American Clubs makes the university assignment, based on a priority
ranking by the applicant. The Clubs also host several weekend gatherings in
different parts of Germany throughout the year abroad and assign a host family.
Rice participants pay tuition, room, and board to Rice to be applied to their
ounterpart's credit; they are supplied with tuition payment and a stipend to cover
room and board while in Germany.
Rice-Swarthmore Exchange Program
An exchange program exists between Rice and Swarthmore College for quali-
fied students in the fall semester of their sophomore, junior or senior year.
5warthmore, which is situated on a wooded campus near Philadelphia, is a
londenominational coeducational college with academic standards similar to
hose at Rice. The exchange is for the fall semester only. Rice students apply in
January by submitting their own letter of application and two supporting letters
Tom faculty members. The exchange is on a one-for-one basis with each student
;ontinuing to pay all charges and fees to his or her home school.
Prior approval of transfer credit should be requested for each course from the
R.egistrar. Courses to be taken at Swarthmore which will apply to the student's
najor must also be approved by the department. Students who enroll in the normal
Drogram of four four-semester-hour courses at Swarthmore receive upon satisfac-
ory completion 1 6 hours (or five courses) toward their Rice degree with a notation
I )f specific courses which may count for fulfillment of major requirements or
I iistribution within that block credit. Further information on this program may be

Unless a special tuition plan has been elected, all tuition and fees for the fa
semester must be paid by the middle of August and for the spring semester by th
end of December.
A student who does not register or request a delay from the Registrar of th,
deadline established by the Academic Calendar is considered withdrawn from th
University by default. To be readmitted, the student must be eligible to continu
and must pay a $25 late registration fee. No student is allowed to register after th
fourth week of classes except with approval from the Committee on Examinatior
and Standing for good reason shown.
Students may change their registration by adding or dropping courses accorc
ing to the proper procedure during the first two weeks of the semester withoi
penalty fee. From the end of the second week to the end of the fourth week th
student must obtain the instructor's permission to add a course. The deadline fc
adding courses is the end of the fourth week of classes; the deadline for droppin
courses is the end of the tenth week. Courses in which loss of credit has bee
assessed by the Honor Council may not be dropped. Students who add or dro.
courses after the second week but before the above deadlines will be charged $ 1
for each drop/add form submitted. If the change is necessary because of a revisioj
or cancellation of the course by the department, no penalty fee will be charged
Students normally declare a major by the time of pre-registration for th)
spring semester of their sophomore year and will not be permitted to register fc
the fall semester of the junior year without having declared a major.

^Course Programs
Students at Rice normally enroll in 1 5 to 1 7 semester hours each semester and
thus in eight semesters complete the requirements for graduation in their major.
Students who wish to register for more than 20 semester hours, or to enroll or
continue in fewer than 1 2 hours, or to register simultaneously for credit at another
university, must secure permission from the Vice-President for Student Affairs
before filing their registrations. No student may receive credit for more than 20
semester hours in a semester, including courses taken elsewhere, unless he or she
has received this prior written approval.
Students are prohibited from registering for more than one course at the same
hour, unless they receive permission from the instructors involved.
Transfer Credit Including Credit for
jSummer School Courses Not Taken at Rice
The basis for approval of transfer credit toward a Rice undergraduate degree
for courses taken at another college or university is that they should be appropriate
to the Rice curriculum. Thus credit is given to courses whose content is such that
they are or could be appropriately offered at Rice. Transfer credit is granted for a
total of no more than 1 4 semester hours taken during the summer at an accredited
':ollege or university other than Rice.
Students who wish to take courses at another university during an approved
eave of absence or during the summer are advised to secure prior approval of
;ransfer credit from the Registrar by submitting the name of the school and the list
3f specific courses for which credit is requested. If courses taken elsewhere are to
:ount as part of the student's major requirements, written approval for transfer
'predit must also be secured from the appropriate department.
Prior approval is recommended but not required. Courses may be submitted
"^or transfer credit after the work has been completed. If approval of credit is
Vanted, it is entered on the student's permanent record only when the Registrar
^-eceives an official transcript verifying completion of the work with a grade
equivalent to "C-" or better.
Students transferring to Rice from another college or university should apply
;o the Registrar for transfer credit on the same basis.
^inal Examinations
Final examinations are given in most courses, but the decision to give a final
^Examination as a required part of the course rests with the instructor and the
pepartment.
Final examinations that cover more than the material since the last examina-
ion, that are the only exam in the course, or that are comprehensive of the entire
:ourse may be given only during the final examination period. Such examinations
iifnay not, for example, be labeled "tests" and administered during the last week of
lasses.
Final examinations are normally of three hours duration. Faculty who, under
xceptional circumstances, wish to give longer examinations can do so only if the
;xam is scheduled as take-home. Under no circumstances may final exams exceed
86 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
five hours. The "due date" for all take-home final exams is the end of the
examination period.
The Committee on Examinations and Standing also recommends that houi
exams not be given in the final week of classes in those courses in which a final is
given.
All tests and examinations are conducted under the honor system. i
University-sponsored events, including varsity athletic games, matches, and]
meets, and other functions which require student participation, shall not be
scheduled so as to occur during the period beginning with the second day following
the end of regular classes and continuing through the end of final examinations. In
order to facilitate student attendance in classes during the final week of the
semester, varsity athletic games, matches, and meets scheduled between Monda>
of the final week of classes and the day following the last day of classes should nol
involve travel outside of Houston. Requests for exceptions may be made to the
Committee on Examinations and Standing which will forward its recommenda-
tions to the President.
The Pass-Fail Option '^
An undergraduate student may register for courses on a pass/fail basis subjeci
to the following limitations:
1 . The total number of pass/fail courses taken as an undergraduate shall nor
exceed one for each full year of residence up to a limit of four. Student;
participating in off-campus programs administered through Rice will be
considered in residence at Rice for the purpose of this rule.
2. The total number of pass/fail semester hours shall not exceed 14.
3. A student may register for only one pass/fail course in a semester.
4. No courses specifically required for the major, nor courses within the
major department (or major area for area or interdepartmental majors]
may be taken pass/fail. I
Courses can be taken under the pass-fail option if the student files the propei
form in the Registrar's Office no later than the end of the fourth week of classes
The student may convert any course so designated to a graded course prior to tht
end of the tenth week by filing the proper form with the Registrar. Students shoulc
consider declaring pass/fail declarations early in the semester and changing to <.
grade designation later if appropriate. The Committee on Examinations anc
Standing rarely approves conversion to a pass/fail designation after the deadline
Students should be aware that while a P does not affect the GPA, an F for a course
taken pass-fail does count in the GPA. The pass/fail option may be declared for a
course taken during the Rice summer session, but this counts toward the total o
four courses ( 1 4 hours).
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS 87
Grade Symbols and Designations
Courses are graded using the following symbols: -
A
B
C
D
F
P pass — students successfully taking a course pass/fail receive a P.
S Students successfully completing a designated satisfactory/fail
course receive an S. The grade of S indicates satisfactory completion
of a course in which traditional grading procedures are not used.
Unsatisfactory completion of such a course is indicated by the grade
of F. Course or labs in which traditional grading procedures are not
used must be designated in the "Schedule of Courses Offered"
published each semester by the Registrar. Courses so designated
may be counted toward the completion of a major. Students should
be aware that while an S does not affect the GPA, an F received in
such a course does.
Designations for special purposes:
W withdrew
INC incomplete -
## other .>:
NO no grade reported by instructor
NC no credit granted for this course
These designations, explained below, do not affect grade averages.
Instructors are required to report a grade for all students (except auditors)
.vhose names appear on the class list. For students who also receive a designation of
'incomplete" or "other," the grade is determined on the basis of zero credit for the
vork not completed and does not become part of the student's record except as
jiscussed below. For students who withdraw from the University within the last
"ive weeks of classes, the grade, which will not appear on the student's record, but
vill be used solely in determining eligibility for readmission, should be based on
he performance of the student up to the time of withdrawal.
A designation of "incomplete" is reported to the Registrar by the instructor
vhen a student has not been able to complete a course because of verified illness or
)ther circumstances beyond the student's control during the semester. Such work
j nust be completed and a revised grade submitted by the end of the fifth week of the
lext semester; otherwise, the Registrar's Office will record the grade originally
submitted by the instructor.
A designation of "other" is reported to the Registrar if a student fails to appear
or the final examination after completing all the other work of a course. A
iesignation of "other" must be resolved and a revised grade submitted by the end
>f the first week of classes of the second semester or by the end of the fourth week
ifter commencement, whichever is applicable. If no revised grade is received, the
Registrar's Office will record the grade originally submitted by the instructor.
A designation of "withdrew" appears for each course for which the student
vas enrolled at the time of withdrawal from the University. Courses dropped by
88 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
students prior to the late drop deadline are removed entirely from the transcript. A
"W" is recorded for any course dropped with the approval of the Committee on
Examinations and Standing after the late drop deadline. See also the section
"Voluntary Withdrawal and Readmission" for rules concerning withdrawal in the
last five weeks of classes.
A designation of "no grade" indicates that the instructor failed to report a
grade. Instructors are asked to resolve this situation as quickly as possible.
Students with designations of "incomplete" and "other" should be aware that
they may go on probation or suspension when these are changed to grades.
Students may repeat courses previously failed. The record of the first attempt
(and grade) remains on the permanent record (transcript). Both grades are includ-
ed in GPA calculations. If students repeat courses previously passed, credit is
awarded only once unless the course is designated as repeatable for credit. Each
attempt remains on the permanent record and each grade is included in the GPA.
Grade Points and Grade Averages
Grade Grade Points
A
4.0
B
3.0
C
2.0
D
1.0
F
0.0
Plus and minus signs may be attached to each grade except F. One-third of a
grade point is added or subtracted, respectively. It is general University grading
practice to give pluses and minuses.
Grade point averages (GPA's) are calculated as follows. For each course, the
product of the course credit attempted and the grade points for the grade earned h
calculated. These products are added for each course and the result is divided by
the total credit attempted. The result is the GPA.
GPA's are reported each semester on the student's grade report, and may
appear on unofficial transcripts. However, GPA's are not included on officia
transcripts; nor are they reported to any external agency. Class ranks are likewise
not reported externally.
Faculty Grading Guidelines
The following guidelines on grading have been drawn up by the Committee or
Examinations and Standing for the information of faculty and students, the
committee believes that the following policies have long been supported in prac
tice by the faculty both individually and collectively:
1 . The evaluation of the student's performance in a course and a decision or
the appropriate grade is the responsibility of the designated instructor oi
instructors in the course.
2. No student should be given an extension of time or opportunities tc
improve a grade that are not available to all members of the class, excepi
for verified illness or justified absence from campus. Students who hav(
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS 89
three scheduled final examinations in two consecutive calendar days
may, however, take one of the examinations at another time.
3. Students in independent study courses are not to be allowed an extension
beyond the time when grades are due. Faculty are to submit grades at the
end of the semester for such students based on work completed during the
semester. The instructor directing the independent study bears responsi-
bility with the student both for ensuring that the work undertaken is
appropriate to the span of a semester and for determining the degree
credit to be received.
4. The basis for grading and the expectations on all written assignments or
tests should be clearly explained to the class in advance, preferably in
writing at the beginning of the semester. The instructor should explain
clearly which assignments or homework are covered by the Honor Code
and which are not. To prevent allegations of plagiarism on written
assignments, students should be warned that all direct and indirect
quotations from others sources should be properly acknowledged. The
instructor should explain the extent to which the student's paper is
expected to be independent of the references and clearly distinguishable
from them.
5. Instructors should be willing to give any student an explanation of his or
her grade as consistent with the grading for the rest of the class. For this
reason the Committee urges the faculty to preserve all examinations and
written material not returned to students as well as grade records for the
semester for at least one month into the following semester so that
students may, if they wish, review with their instructor the basis for the
grade which they have received.
6. Instructors may not change a semester grade after the grade sheet has
been submitted to the Registrar except for a clerical error in calculating
the grade. This is a long-standing University rule of which the faculty are
reminded by the Registrar at the end of each semester. It is designed in
part to protect the faculty from student pressure for grade changes. All
other grade changes, including retroactive change to withdrawal or in-
complete, must be approved by the Committee on Examinations and
Standing on the basis of a written petition from the student and informa-
tion from the instructor.
7. There is no University requirement that a final examination be given in a
course. It is University policy that:
a. Final examinations that cover more than the material since the
last examination, that are the only exam in the course, or that are
comprehensive of the entire course may be given only during the
final examination period. Such examinations may not, for ex-
ample, be labeled "tests" and administered during the last week
of classes.
b. Final examinations are normally of three hours duration.
Faculty who, under exceptional circumstances, wish to give
longer examinations can do so only if the exam is scheduled as
take-home. Under no circumstances may final exams exceed
five hours. The "due date" for all take-home final exams is the
end of the examination period.
90 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
8. Freshmen students receive mid-semester grades around the eighth week
of the fall and spring semesters so that they can, if advisable, enroll in
tutoring or drop a class for which they may not be prepared. Faculty who
teach freshmen in any of their classes will be asked to submit grades of
standing for these students during the seventh week of the semester and
should schedule the grading of tests, quizzes, or homework assignments
accordingly. These grades are not recorded on the student's transcript nor
calculated in the GPA, but they are important indicators for students and
their faculty advisers.
9. Departments using teaching associates, adjunct professors, or visiting
faculty of any kind should make sure these teachers are familiar with Rice-
grading procedures. A regular faculty member who is well versed in the
grading guidelines should be assigned to assist such instructors.
The Chair of the Committee on Examinations and Standing or the Vice
President for Student Affairs will be glad to advise any faculty member faced with
exceptional circumstances which may justify special consideration. Students ma>
petition the Committee concerning the application of these guidelines. Suspected
or possible violations of the Honor Code should be submitted to the Honor
Council. .-^icyi-
President's Honor Roll
Outstanding students are recognized each semester through the publication ol
the President's Honor Roll. In order to be eligible, students must have grade;
exclusive of pass-fail and satisfactory-fail in a total of 12 or more semester hour;
and must not have any grade of "F." Approximately 30 percent of all undergradu
ates are so recognized. Undergraduates enrolled in four-year bachelor's degree
programs are always eligible for the Honor Roll. Students enrolled in five-yeai
bachelor's/master's programs are eligible only during their first eight semesters.
Academic Probation
A student is placed on academic probation if at the end of any semester:
1 . the student's grade point average for that semester is less than 1 .67 or,
2. the student has a cumulative grade point average less than 1.67. Thi:
requirement is waived if the GPA for that semester is at least 2.0.
The period of probation extends to the end of the next semester in which th<
student is enrolled at the University. A student on probation (academic or discipli
nary) is not permitted to be a candidate or hold any elective or appointive office
This restriction is also embodied in the constitution of the Student Association.
A student on academic probation is not allowed to enroll in more than 1
semester hours. A student who receives two or more "incomplete" grades in ;
semester is not eligible to enroll in more than 14 semester hours in the semeste
immediately following.
Academic Suspension
A student is suspended from the University if at the end of any semester:
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS 91
1 . the student earns grades that would place him/her on academic probation
a third time, or;
2. the student earns a grade point average less than 1.00 for the semester,
except for students completing their first semester at Rice.
Students readmitted after a previous suspension will again be suspended if in
any succeeding semester they fail to achieve at least one of the following
requirements:
1 . a cumulative and semester grade point average of at least 1 .67, or;
2. a semester average of at least 2.00.
The period of a first suspension is normally one semester; the period of a
second suspension is at least two semesters. Normally, students will not be
readmitted following a third suspension.
Suspension is deemed to occur as soon as a responsible University official,
normally the Registrar, learns that a student's performance has been such as to
place him or her on suspension. Suspension is lifted the first day of class of the
semester in which the student returns to the University, or in the case of persons
who have served the nominal term of suspension but do not intend to return to
Rice when they have received permission from the Committee on Examinations
and Standing to have that suspension lifted.
A student who earns grades in a semester that would place him or her on
academic suspension but who otherwise satisfies the requirements for graduation
in that semester will be allowed to graduate.
Disciplinary Probation and Suspension
A student may be placed on probation or suspension for an honor code
violation or for disciplinary reasons through action of the Proctor. No student may
receive a degree while on disciplinary suspension (including that for an honor code
violation), even if all academic requirements for graduation have been fulfilled.
Readmission After Suspension
I To obtain readmission after academic or disciplinary suspension, the student
[ must address a letter of petition to the Committee on Examinations and Standing;
; this letter should be received at least a month before the beginning of classes. At the
, same time, the student should request two supporting letters from persons under
t whom the student has worked during the suspension period as a student or an
I employee. If the problems causing the previous difficulty appear to have been
■ relieved, the student is generally readmitted. In some instances, approval of
i readmission may be postponed, or suspension may be permanent. Petitions for
I readmission following a separation from the University involving disciplinary or
i, other non-academic consideration will be subject to review by the Proctor before
1 consideration by the Committee on Examinations and Standing. A student desir-
' ing special consideration with regard to readmission following suspension should
petition the committee in writing.
I The Committee on Examinations and Standing does not normally place
I students on probation and suspension as the result of deficient performance in the
; Rice Summer School (although it may do so at its discretion). Students are warned,
however, that grade averages are affected.
92 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Voluntary Withdrawal and Readmission
A student may withdraw voluntarily from the University at any time during
the semester up until the last day of classes and, if in good academic standing at the
time of withdrawal, the student is normally readmitted upon written application to
the Committee on Examinations and Standing.
Any student desiring to withdraw should inform the college master in person
and give written notification of withdrawal to the Vice-President for Student
Affairs, who will notify other offices of the University as necessary. If the student
withdraws within five weeks of the last day of classes, grades of standing as of the
day of withdrawal are considered in determining eligibility for readmission.
Students with grades of standing that would have placed them on suspension had
they not withdrawn will, for purposes of readmission, be treated as if they had been
suspended. Such students should follow the guidelines for readmission shown
under the suspension rules. Students who fail to give notice of withdrawal should
expect to receive failing grades.
Leave of Absence
A student may request a leave of absence from the University by applying in
writing to the Committee on Examinations and Standing at any time prior to the
first day of classes in the semester which marks the beginning of the leave. Leave
from the University after the first day of classes is considered a voluntary
withdrawal.
To be readmitted following an approved leave of absence of not more than
four semesters, students need only notify the Vice-President for Student Affairs of
their intention to terminate their leave at least one month before the beginning of
the semester. After four semesters, they should apply in writing to the Committee
on Examinations and Standing, as in the case of a voluntary withdrawal.
Approval of a leave of absence is always contingent on the student's satisfacto-
ry completion of course work in the semester preceding the leave; otherwise, the
approved leave may be converted to suspension.
Extended Time Graduation
Students enrolled in four (five-) year bachelor's programs may elect to be
subject to the academic regulations in effect either at the time of their intial
registration at Rice or at the time of their graduation, unless they graduate more
than seven (eight) years after that initial registration. In that case they will be
subject to the regulations in effect at the time of their last readmission.
Courses in a student's major program completed more than seven (eight) years
prior to graduation are subject to review by the appropriate departments. If the
departments conclude that any such courses are no longer suitable for satisfying
the requirements of the major, those courses will not be credited toward the major
program, although they will remain on the student's record.
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS 93
Academic Advising and Tutorial Programs
Rice University provides for academic advising of freshman and sophomore
students through a well-developed program centered in the residential colleges,
overseen by the college masters and involving more than 1 50 faculty members.
These faculty associates are equipped to give broad, inclusive advice to students,
as well as specific information about individual disciplines. Within each college,
faculty members designated as "divisional advisors," representing humanities,
social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering, additionally advise prospective
majors in those divisions and give final approval to course schedules and to the
dropping and adding of classes. Majors in music and architecture obtain course
approval from academic advisors in the Shepherd School of Music and the School
of Architecture, as appropriate.
Once a student designates a departmental major, usually in the fourth semes-
ter, he or she comes under the jurisdiction of an academic department (or depart-
ments, in the case of a double major) for academic advising and approval of course
schedules. Area majors obtain approval from the Office of Student Advising,
which operates in cooperation with the academic departments involved in each
interdisciplinary major.
The Director of Student Advising, assisted by faculty associates, serves as an
administrative liaison between the academic departments and the college advising
system, maintains an up-to-date file on departmental course requirements, coordi-
nates a tutorial program, provides training for faculty and peer advisors, and
organizes the exchange of academic information between students, advisors, and
departments. The Director oversees areas that span a range of academic disci-
plines— area majors, study abroad, exchange programs, pre-professional advising,
and undergraduate fellowships — and arranges for programs, such as Majors Day
and Orientation Week Academics Fair, that inform students about academic
options within the Rice curriculum.
The Office of Student Advising serves as a resource center for general academ-
ic information, for brochures describing study abroad and exchange programs, for
information regarding prestigious undergraduate fellowships awarded on a na-
tional basis (Rhodes, Marshall, Luce, etc.), for graduate catalogues and guides, and
for application packets for GRE, MCAT, LSAT, and GMAT tests. Faculty advi-
sors counsel individual students with academic problems and questions. Operat-
ing within the Office of Student Advising, the Foreign Student Advisor assists
foreign students with visas and with cultural adaptation.
The Rice tutoring program provides free assistance to freshmen in any course
and to upperclassmen who are having difficulty with introductory courses. Each
department with major teaching assignments at the introductory level names a
departmental coordinator who is responsible for organizing tutorial activities
within the department and assigning students to group or individual tutoring. The
departmental coordinator also approves the list of tutors and signs records of
completed tutorial sessions.
Each college also selects a faculty associate who coordinates the tutoring
program within the college. This faculty member seeks ways to aid communication
and help advise those students who need tutoring. Both the departmental and
94 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
college aspects of the tutoring program are under the supervision of the Director of
Student Advising.
Normally, a student who is having academic difficulty should consult with the
course instructor or the departmental coordinator to arrange for tutoring; howev-
er, college coordinators provide an alternate referral source. Further information
for those who need tutoring or who would like to serve as a tutor may be secured
from the Office of Student Advising.
Admission of New Students
From its beginning. Rice University has sought to maintain an academic
program of the highest excellence for a small body of students. This number has
grown with the expansion of the university's resources over the past decade, but
the total number of students admitted to Rice still remains relatively
small — approximately 600 students in each first-year class.
In making its selections, the Admission Committee attempts to seek out and
identify students who have demonstrated exceptional ability and the potential for
personal and intellectual growth. There is no discrimination whatsoever on the
basis of sex, race, ethnic background, age, or physical handicap. Decisions are
based not only on high school grades and test scores but also on such qualities as
leadership, participation in extracurricular activities, and personal creativity. The
university's aim is diversity rather than uniformity, and it believes that students
learn from each other and from life in the residential colleges, as well as from their
classes and laboratories.
Students are selected on a competitive basis in five academic areas. They are:
( 1 ) architecture, (2) humanities and social sciences, (3) engineering, (4) music, and
(5) natural sciences. Applicants should give careful consideration to the category
under which they wish to be considered. Students, however, are free to change
from one of these areas to another, after consultation with their adviser. Only
architecture and music have strictly limited enrollments. Occasionally, physical
limitations of other departments may make it necessary to limit enrollment of
majors.
There are five basic measures generally used in evaluation of candidates for
admission: ( 1 ) scholastic record as reflected by the courses chosen and the quality
of performance, (2) scores on the Scholastic Aptitude and Achievement Tests
administered by the College Board, (3) recommendations from teachers and
counselors, (4) the personal interview, and (5) the application itself The Admis-
sion Committee is particularly interested in any information that can give insight
into the extracurricular areas of development and such intangible factors as
motivation, intellectual curiosity, character, and special talents.
1 . The High School Record. The completion of not less than 1 6 acceptable
units is required. The record must include the following units:

ADMISSION OF NEW STUDENTS 95
Students admitted with academic deficiencies will be asked to complete the
required work by taking high school or college level courses during the summer
before enrollment at Rice.
Courses in chemistry', physics, trigonometry, or other advanced mathematics
courses are required of applicants for the engineering and science divisions.
2. Entrance Examinations. The required entrance examinations are adminis-
tered by the College Board. The College Board bulletins and test applications are
available from high school counseling offices or the Rice Admission Office. The
applicant is responsible for making arrangements to take the examinations, and
official score reports must be submitted before the student can be considered for
admission (see the calendar on page 97).
The following tests are required according to the curriculum desired:
A. Humanities, Social Sciences, B. Science and Engineering
Architecture, and Music

3. Candidates must submit evaluations from a counselor and one teacher. The
necessary forms are included in the application.
4. The Personal Interview. The interview is an integral part of the admission
procedure. It enables the Committee on Admission to reach a decision based on
nonacademic, as well as academic, aspects of the candidate's development. Stu-
dents should arrange for an interview in compliance with the admissions calendar
on page 97. Campus interviews are held at 109 Lovett Hall between the hours of
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and until 11:30 on Saturday
mornings. (Summer schedule: Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.)
Houston area students who fail to interview will not be considered for admission.
Applicants who cannot visit the university or who are unable to meet with a
traveling member of the admissions staff may be interviewed by alumni interview-
ers located throughout the United States and in several foreign countries. If an
applicant cannot be interviewed by one of these methods, the interview may be
waived. Candidates for admission to the Shepherd School of Music must arrange
for an audition and theory test with the music faculty. .Architecture applicants
should interview with a faculty member in the School of Architecture and submit a
portfolio.
5. The Application. The application provides the committee with important
information on the student's background and gives the applicant an opportunity to
provide statements on his or her interests, experiences, and goals. Please note that
no application fee is required of candidates for admission to Rice.
96 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Early Decision Plan
The Early Decision Plan is open to candidates for admission who regard Rice
University as their first choice and will await the outcome of their application to
Rice before applying elsewhere. Students applying for the fall semester 1 990 under
the Early Decision Plan must complete the required Scholastic Aptitude Test
(SAT) on or before the October testing date in the senior year. The Achievement
Tests (ACH) must be taken by the June test date in the junior year. All other
materials should be filed by November 1 . Admission notices will be mailed on
December 1.
Requirements for admission are not altered by an early decision. Those
accepted are expected to complete the remainder of their high school work with
superior performance. Early Decision candidates should apply for financial aid
using the Early Version of the Financial Aid Form (FAF). Those applying by
November 1 will be notified by December 1 . Late filers will be notified as soon as
their information is processed.
Action on some applications will be deferred until the Regular Decision
period if the Admissions Committee does not have adequate grounds for an
affirmative decision in December. An additional semester of the high school
record and additional College Board scores from the November, December, or
January tests may be added for later consideration. The applicant would, of
course, be released from the pledge to apply only to Rice. An applicant offered
admission under the Early Decision Plan must make a $100 registration deposit
within 30 days in order to hold his or her place in the incoming class. This deposit is
nonrefundable after May 1 . Those who desire a room on campus must make an
additional $50 deposit.
Interim Decision Plan
Applicants who complete their SAT and Achievement Tests on or by the
December testing date and who file all other materials by December 1 may be
considered in the Interim Decision Plan and notified of the outcome by early
February. Action on some applications may be deferred until the Regular Decision
period if the Admission Committee does not have adequate grounds for an
affirmative decision in February.
Applicants offered admission under this plan must make a $ 100 nonrefund-
able registration deposit within 30 days of the notification date. It is expected that
students sending the $ 1 00 deposit will withdraw their applications to other schools
from further consideration. Any student unwilling to do so should contact the Rice

98 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
*Rice University will accept applications for admission if postmarked by the date
indicated for the respective decision plan.
Advanced Placement
Entering first-year students who have done work well beyond the usual high
school courses in certain subjects and who score "4" or "5" on the Advanced
Placement College Board examinations prior to matriculation at Rice are given
university credit toward graduation for appropriate Rice courses satisfying distri-
bution or free elective requirements. Acceptance of such credit in fulfillment of a
student's major requirements is subject to approval by the department in question.
Rice students who earn the International Baccalaureate diploma will, subject
to approval by the relevant departments, receive credit for individual higher level
exams for which they receive a score of 6 or 7. Students from high schools that offer
International Baccalaureate courses but not the diploma will receive credit accord-
ing to the same criteria.
Furthermore, during orientation week at the beginning of the academic year,
entering students may take placement tests administered by various departments
at Rice. On the basis of these tests, students may be advised to register in courses
beyond the introductory level. Degree credit is not given for these tests.
Transfer Students
Rice University encourages application from students with superior records
who wish to transfer from a two-year college or a four-year college or university.
Interested students should request a transfer application form from the Office of
Admission.
Applications for admission in the fall semester should be filed by April 2 and
be accompanied by official transcripts of all high school and college work complet-
ed to date and courses in progress. Notification of admission is mailed in late May.
Applications for admission for the spring semester with the appropriate tran-
scripts must be filed by November 1 . Notification of admission is mailed by mid-
December. The criteria used in evaluating transfer applications are essentially the
same as those applied to applicants for the first-year class, except that special
emphasis is given to performance at the college level. Because of the highly
competitive nature of transfer admission, it is recommended that applicants have
a minimum 3.2 (4.0 scale) G.P.A. on all college work. Scholastic Aptitude Test
scores are required. If candidates have not previously taken College Board tests,
they must take the Scholastic Aptitude Test no later than April if they wish to apply
for admission in the fall. Achievement Tests are not required.
Transfer students must be registered in residence at Rice for at least four full
semesters during the fall or spring terms and must complete not less than 60
semester hours in 300 and 400 level courses for a Rice degree.
Note thai first-year candidates may apply for entry in the fall semester only,
because Rice does not accept freshmen at midyear. Transfer candidates may be
admitted for either the spring or fall semesters, except for students applying to the
School of Architecture, who may enter in the fall only.
For further information or application forms, prospective candidates for
undergraduate admission should communicate with the Office of Admission.
ADMISSION OF NEW STUDENTS 99
When requesting application forms, candidates should indicate that they are
prospective transfers from another college.
Visiting Students
Students who wish to spend a semester or a year at Rice taking courses for
credit to be applied toward their undergraduate degree at another school should
apply for admission as visiting students through the Office of Admission. The
student's application should be accompanied by an official transcript of college
work to date and a letter from the student's academic dean or registrar agreeing to
grant transfer credit subject to satisfactory performance.
Visiting students are assigned membership in a college during their stay and
are charged the same fees as other undergraduates. In a few classes where enroll-
ment is limited because of space or other considerations, candidates for Rice
degrees have priority over visiting students.
Rice/Baylor College of Medicine Premedical Scholars' Program
The Premedical Scholars' Program is designed for talented and motivated
students who desire careers in medicine or biomedical science research. Up to 1 5
graduating high school senior students will be admitted to Rice University and
Baylor College of Medicine concurrently. Selection to the Program is conducted
through the established admission process at Rice. Finalists for the Program will
be expected to interview at Baylor College of Medicine. Notification of interview
will be sent to students in late March and decisions will be made by April.
Applications for the Program can be requested from the Rice Admission Office
and must be completed in addition to the Rice admission application. Applica-
tions for the Program and Rice University applications are due by January 2, 1990.
Applicants who are not admitted to the Premedical Scholars' Program are still
eligible for admission to Rice and are still eligible to apply to Baylor College of
Medicine upon graduation from Rice.
Class III Students
Class III standing at Rice University designates students with an undergradu-
ate or graduate degree from an accredited college or university who are taking
courses for credit but not in a specific degree program.
Admission of High School Students to Take Courses for Credit
Accelerated high school juniors and seniors who have taken all the courses in a
given discipline available to them in high school or who have completed their high
school graduation requirements may request admission to Rice for the purpose of
taking one or more university level courses on the same basis as Rice undergradu-
ates. Such courses are graded for credit, and the university sends a transcript of this
record by student request to any college or university. If the high school student is
1 00 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
later admitted to Rice, any such courses are counted toward the student's under-
graduate degree at Rice. Tuition for such courses is $265 per semester hour plus a
$50 registration fee, the total not to exceed $3,050. These charges are for 1 989-90
and are subject to change in subsequent years. Application for admission should be
made to the Admission Office. Financial assistance is not available for this
program.
Auditors
Any interested person, including currently enrolled students, may audit one
or more courses at Rice by securing permission of the instructor and by registering
as an auditor with the Registrar. The university grants no academic credit for such
work. Audit credit does not appear on transcripts. Currently enrolled students may
audit courses without charge. Rice alumni may audit as many courses as they wish
for a fee of $25 per semester. All others are charged $ 50 per course per semester for
the privilege of auditing.
Student Housing
Information about residence in the colleges and room application forms
accompany the notice of admission sent to each new undergraduate. Room
reservations cannot be made prior to notification of admission.
At present, Rice University has the capacity to house about 70 percent of its
undergraduate students in the residential colleges on campus. Although the major-
ity of students desiring to live in the colleges can be accommodated, demand
usually exceeds the available number of rooms. Every effort is made to provide
housing in the colleges for all incoming first-year students who wish to live on
campus, but space cannot be promised. Continuing students draw for rooms
according to the priority system in each college. No student is required to live on
campus. Off-campus members are encouraged to eat in their colleges and to
participate in college activities.
Correspondence from new students regarding housing in the residential col-
lege should be addressed to the Office of Admission. Information concerning off-
campus housing is available from the Office of Student Advising and Student
Activities.
Tuition, Fees, and Expenses
The tuition for undergraduate students in 1 989-90 is $6, 1 00 per year, $3,050
payable prior to the beginning of each semester.
Part-time students taking fewer than 1 2 hours by special permission are billed
at the part-time rate of $265 per semester hour for the courses in which they are
enrolled plus a $50 registration fee, the total tuition and registration fee not to
exceed $3,050 per semester.
TUITION, FEES, AND EXPENSES 1 0 1
Any undergraduate who withdraws or takes an approved leave of absence and
is then readmitted to the university is charged the tuition in effect during the
semester in which he or she returns.
Fees
All undergraduate students and candidates for a second bachelor's degree are
charged the following annual fees, payable in full at the time of the student's first
tuition payment for the year or any portion of the year. An exception is the Health
Service fee, which is paid in two installments, half before the beginning of the fall
semester and half before the beginning of the spring semester.
Subsidies to student activities $42.60
Tickets to athletic events 35.00
College fee 40.00
Health Service fee 142.00
Total basic fees $259.60
All Rice students are required to have health insurance. Insurance for the
1 989-90 school year may be purchased at a yearly premium of $389.00 (Plan A) or
$294.00 (Plan B) from the University's program developed for Rice students.
Coverage will be effective from 12:01 a.m., August 15, 1989, until 12:01 a.m.,
August 1 5, 1 990. Dependent coverage is also available (application and policy
description can be obtained from the Cashier's Office or the Office of Student
Activities and Advising). If you have other medical insurance, a waiver card
showing proof of insurance must be signed and returned to the Cashier's Office by
August 1 5 to avoid being charged for insurance.
Special Charges
Orientation week room and board (required for all new students)... $ 100.00
Late payment/late registration fees $25.00
Late course change $10.00
Late application fee for Class III $50.00
Refund of Tuition and Fees and Appeal Procedure
A student who withdraws during the first two weeks of the semester is not
charged tuition or fees for that semester. A student who withdraws during the third
week is charged 30 percent of the semester's tuition. The amount of the refund is
reduced by 1 0 percent at the beginning of each successive week. No refund is made
for withdrawals after the ninth week. There is no refund of fees or special charges
after the second week of classes in the semester. The $ 1 00 registration deposit paid
by incoming students is not refunded at any time if the student withdraws. There is
no partial refund of fees paid for the full year for withdrawals or leaves of absence
in the spring semester.
Student requests for special consideration in connection with waivers, re-
funds, or adjusted payments on tuition, fees, and other charges, which cannot be
1 02 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
satisfactorily resolved between the student and the Cashier's Office, should be
forwarded to the Vice-President for Student Affairs. Resolution of waivers and
refunds for room and board charges should be arranged through the Vice-Presi-
dent for Administration.
Teacher Certification Program Fees
Students enrolling in the apprenticeship or the internship plan are charged a
$ 1 00 registration fee for each semester; an additional $25 registration fee (paid to
the Office of Continuing Studies) is charged for each summer session.
Delinquent Accounts
No student in arrears in any financial obligation to Rice University as of the
date announced for the completion of registration for any semester can be regis-
tered. No certificate of attendance, diploma, or transcript of credit is issued at any
time for a student whose account is in arrears.
Students who have not made satisfactory arrangements with the Cashier for
payment of current charges or have moved on campus without executing a
satisfactory room contract may be discharged from the University.
Transcripts
Transcripts are issued on written request made to the Office of the Registrar.
No transcript is issued without consent of the individual whose record is con-
cerned. There is a charge of $ 1 for each copy, payable in advance. Those requesting
transcripts by mail should include payment with the request.
Living Expenses
Residence fees, to cover costs of dining halls and operation of residences, are
established from year to year as requirements dictate. For 1 989-90, the yearly
Room and Board charge for residence in a residential college is $4,375. This charge
provides room and all the meals eaten during the year for most students. All meals
are priced on an a la carte basis. Food Service provides 3 meals per day Monday
through Friday and continental breakfast and brunch on Saturday and Sunday.
Meals are not served during the Thanksgiving holidays, mid-year, fall, and spring
mid-term recesses, and spring holidays. Information on optional meal plans is
available from the College Food Service. When securing room assignments for the
academic year to follow, each student is required to sign a lease agreement. To
assure reservation of space, current students must sign a lease by the date estab-
lished in the various colleges, but no later than April 1 5. New students are required
to make a $50 deposit prior to May 1 . These deposits are not returnable, but are
applied against the following semester's charges. The balance of the residence fee is
payable in installments. The exact amounts and due dates are stated in the
Residential Lease Agreement that each on-campus resident is required to sign.
FINANCIAL AID 103
Students terminating their residence for any reason shall be entitled to a
refund or credit of the unspent reduced balance of board charges, but are held
responsible for payment of the room charge for the entire academic year. Excep-
tions to the room charge payment (example: academic suspension, Rice sponsored
study abroad, and family emergencies) will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
Financial Aid
The financial aid program at Rice University provides assistance to meet the
costs of attendance for all students who are admitted and demonstrate computed
financial need. Through grants, low interest loans, campus work opportunities, or
a combination of these programs, Rice attempts to give the students sufficient aid
to meet educational expenses.
The financial aid program is funded from many sources. Rice University
receives contributions from alumni and friends; these funds are used to initiate
and maintain scholarships and loan funds. Federal programs, both grant and loan,
the state grant program, and the Rice University tuition grant ealso provide funds.
Awards are based primarily on financial need.
The University publishes budgets that realistically sumarize student expenses
including living costs at home and on- or off-campus, personal expenses and
necessary travel.
Parents are expected to contribute according to their means, taking into
account their income, assets, number of dependents, and other relevant factors.
Students themselves are expected to contribute from their own assets and earnings,
including appropriate borrowing against future earnings.
A brochure entitled Financial Aid at Rice University explains the program of
assistance in detail. Students may secure a copy from the Office of Admission or
the Office of Financial Aid. The determination of need is based on information
supplied through the College Scholarship Service. Need is defined as the amount
required to meet the difference between the student's total educational expenses
and the family's resources.
Application
To apply for financial assistance, the candidate must file a Rice University
financial aid application with the University as well as the Financial Aid Form
(FAF) with the College Scholarship Service. When Rice University receives both
forms, the applicant is considered for all appropriate assistance administered by
the University including grants, scholarships, loans, and work. Tax forms will also
be required.
Early decision candidates may obtain the Early Version Financial Aid Form
from Rice University. In order to receive notification of awards at the same time as
notification of admission, this form and the application for financial aid must be
filed by November 1 5. Interim Decision candidates must file the Rice University
financial aid application and the Financial Aid Form by February 1 , and Regular
104 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Decision candidates must file both forms by March 1 in order to receive notifica-
tion of awards at the same time as notification of admission. Forms filed after these
dates will be considered as received. Deadline for new students is June 1.
Financial aid awards are made on an annual basis and are payable as indicated
on the award letter.
Since financial circumstances change from year to year, annual review and
adjustment of need and awards is necessary. Therefore, continuing students must
file the Rice University financial aid application with the University and the
Financial Aid Form with the College Scholarship Service by June 1 (December 1
for second semester only) every year in which they desire assistance.
Financing
Meeting the costs of higher education in a private university may be difficult
even though the usual financial analysis indicates no need for financial aid. It is
understood that even though a family's financial situation may be adequate to
afford the cost of tuition, fees, and room and board without financial aid, payment
of relatively large sums at stated times may require rearrangement of family
planning that results in hardships or sacrifice. Rice University offers two payment
plans to permit financing of educational costs. Both require low interest charges.
A deferred payment plan permits the payment of each semester's charges to be
divided over four payments. Arrangements are made through the Cashier's Office.
Applications and details are available each semester at the time of billing.
Longer term financing is available to eligible students through the Parent
Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) program. Applications are available in
the Rice University Office of Financial Aid, and Rice will arrange processing if
needed.
Satisfactory Progress Policy for Financial Aid Recipients
The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended by Congress in 1980, man-
dates that institutions of higher education maintain minimum standards of "satis-
factory progress" in order for students to receive financial aid.
Policy for Undergraduate Students
1. Financial Aid Probation. A student is placed on financial aid probation if at
the end of any semester: (a) the student has a cumulative grade point average less
than 1.67, or (b) the student's grade point average for that semester is less than
1 .67. The period of probation extends to the end of the next semester in which the
student is enrolled at the University.
2. Financial Aid Ineligibility. A student is ineligible for financial aid if at the
end of any semester: (a) the student earns grades that would result in financial aid
probation a third time, or (b) the student earns a grade point average less than 1 .00
for that semester, except for students completing their first semester at Rice.
3. Reinstatement of Financial Aid Eligibility. The period of financial aid
eligibility is normally at least one semester. To regain eligibility, the student must
address a letter of petition to the Committee on Student Financial Aid following
the same instructions which apply to the readmission of suspended students as
FINANCIAL AID 105
written in the Rice University General Announcements. Suspended students
readmitted by the Committee on Examinations and Standing need not petition the
Committee on Student Financial Aid if the conditions in Section 5 have been met.
4. Requirements for Students Regaining Financial Aid Eligibility. A student
regaining financial aid eligibility will again become ineligible if in any succeeding
semester he/she fails to achieve either: (a) a cumulative and semester grade point
average of at least 1.67, or (b) a semester average of at least 2.00. Ineligibility a
second time will result in at least two semesters without aid. Normally a student
will not again receive aid after a third ineligibility.
5. Maximum Time Frame to Complete Educational Objective. Undergraduate
students are eligible to receive financial aid for 10 semesters (except Rice Tuition
Grant — see Section "C" of "Rice University — Financial Aid Policies and
Procedures"). All semesters for which a student has a transcript in the Registrar's
Office are counted in the 10 semester limitation even if no financial aid was
received. To make normal satisfactory progress, a student must earn a minimum of
18 semester hours credit by the end of the first academic year, 44 semester hours
credit by the end of the second year, 70 semester hours credit by the end of the third
year, and 96 semester hours credit by the end of the fourth year. A student who is
ineligible because of insufficient semester hours credit may be considered eligible
for aid only when enough credits, including incomplete courses, have been com-
pleted to make up the credit shortage. The academic year commences with the first
day of classes of the fall semester and continues to the first day of classes the
following fall.
Policy for Graduate Students
Satisfactory academic progress will be determined by the student's depart-
ment at the end of each academic year but the student must have at least a 2.33
cumulative GPA.
Notification for All Students .- ■ .
The Office of Financial Aid will notify, by letter, any student qualifying for
financial assistance who does not meet minimum satisfactory progress and who is
being terminated from aid. Following the fall semester, notices are considered
delivered when sent to the colleges of undergraduate students and to the depart-
ments of graduate students. Following the spring semester notices will be sent to
the most recent permanent address provided to the Registrar by the student and
are considered delivered.
Appeals for All Students
Any student deemed ineligible for financial aid due to lack of satisfactory
progress has the opportunity to appeal such action to the Committee on Student
Financial Aid. Appeals must be made in writing to the Chairman of the Commit-
tee. Mitigating circumstances will be considered.
1 06 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Student Loan Funds
Perkins Loans (fomerly NDSL) are awarded by the Office of Financial Aid to
help meet the self-help portion of aid under Rice University packaging policy.
A few endowments have been established for student loans primarily as
memorial tributes. These funds are in addition to the normal financial aid pro-
gram. They are used for emergency loans to students who experience unexpected
financial problems during a term or for a student who shows additional need,
beyond regular eligibility.

Student Employment
Employment is available to students interested in working part time during
the academic year. These work opportunities are available both on campus and off
campus. Students seeking employment should apply directly to the Financial Aid
Office. . - ■ , ,. ... , .:
Vocational Rehabilitation
The Texas Rehabilitation Commission offers assistance for tuition and
nonrefundable fees to students who have certain disabling conditions if their
vocational objectives have been approved by a TRC counselor. Examples of such
conditions are orthopedic deformities, emotional disorders, diabetes, epilepsy,
and heart conditions. Other services are also available to assist the handicapped
student in becoming employable. Application for such service should be made al
the Texas Rehabilitation Commission. Students with visual handicaps should
contact the Texas State Commission for the Blind.
Undergraduate Scholarships and Awards
Alumni and friends of Rice University have generously endowed man>i
awards and scholarships, some of which are given strictly on the basis of entrance
qualifications or performance at Rice. Students do not make separate application
UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS 1 07
for these awards since every admitted or attending student is eligible for
consideration.
Continuing students who completed a minimum of 30 semester hours for
credit in the previous year are automatically considered for such awards. Students
who spend a semester abroad on an approved program are considered if they
completed a minimum of 1 5 semester hours for credit during the semester at Rice.
For other awards, demonstrated need is an additional factor and evidence of
need must be submitted to the Office of Financial Aid. Some awards may have
additional criteria.
Further information concerning the donors is available from the Office of
Financial Aid, the Office of the Vice-President for Student Affairs, or the Office of
Admission.

Honor Societies
The Phi Beta Kappa society was founded in 1 776 at the College of William and
Mary for the purpose of recognizing intellectual achievement and the love of
learning among students in the liberal arts and sciences. The Rice University
chapter was formally installed on March 1 , 1 929.
Phi Lambda Upsilon, an honorary chemical society, promotes high scholar-
ship and original investigation in all branches of pure and applied chemistry. The
Rice chapter was installed in 1927.
The Pi Delta Phi society, organized to interest students of French in compet-
ing for high standing in scholarship, authorized in May 1 930 the formation of the
Theta chapter of Rice.
The Society of Sigma Xi, for the promotion of research in science, established
the Beta of Texas chapter at Rice on March 23, 1 938.
The Tau Beta Pi Association, organized to interest engineering students in
competing for high standing in scholarship, created the Gamma of Texas chapter
at the University on December 1 8, 1 940.
Delta Phi Alpha was founded to promote an interest in the German language
and literature. The National Council authorized the Gamma Xi Chapter at Rice in
April 1949.
Sigma Delta Pi was founded to promote an interest in the Spanish language
and literature. The Rice University chapter was installed on May 14, 1953.
1 1 8 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Tau Sigma Delta is a national honor society in architecture and applied arts.
The Tau Chapter was established at Rice on May 7, 1961.
Eta Kappa Nu was founded in 1 904 at the University of Illinois for electrical
engineering students. The purpose was not just to stimulate and reward scholar-
ship, but to assist and encourage it members to grow professionally throughout
their entire lives. The Rice chapter was installed January 1981.
Omicron Delta Epsilon was founded to promote study in economics. The Rice
University chapter was established in 1981.
Student Life
Student Responsibility
Each Rice student is expected to observe standards of conduct consistent with
respect for the law, the fulfillment of contractual obligations, consideration for the
rights of others, and a high level of personal integrity. Though the University does
not intend to supervise the personal lives of its students, all members of the
University community should be aware that their behavior both on and off
campus will reflect on the University.
The student government, the judicial system, and the honor system depend on
a willing exercise of responsibility and honor on the part of everyone.
The University reserves the right to require the withdrawal of any student
whose conduct may be judged clearly detrimental to the best interests of either the
student or the University. Such action is taken only after careful consideration by
the appropriate branches of the student government and/or the faculty and
administration.
No individual or group may use the name of the University or one of its
colleges without prior approval of the University and the college.
The Honor System
One of the oldest and proudest traditions at Rice is an honor system adminis-
tered by a student Honor Council whose members are elected annually by the
student body. Adopted by a vote of the student body in 1916, the system has
remained essentially unchanged except for changes in the procedures and mem-
bership of the Honor Council.
All written examinations and any specifically designated assignments are
conducted under the honor code. The student body, through its commitment to the
honor system, accepts responsibility for assuring the validity of all examinations
and assignments conducted under the system. The Honor Council is responsible
for investigtation of all reported violations and for trial in those cases when the
facts warrant. The Proctor reviews the results of investigations and trials and acts
upon recommendations for penalties. The Honor Council conducts a continuing
program to orient new students and faculty to the responsibilities and privileges of
the system.
STUDENT LIFE 119
Residential Colleges
Every undergraduate student, whether living on campus or not, is a member of
one of eight residential colleges, all of which are coeducational.
Each college has a faculty master who occupies a house adjacent to the college.
The master, whose authority derives from the president of the University, has
overall responsibility for all aspects of student life in the college. He or she is
especially responsible for encouraging broad cultural and intellectual interests and
for promoting self-discipline and effective self-government within the college.
Other members of the faculty are invited, upon agreement of the student members
and the master, to becomed resident and non-resident associates of the college.
Faculty associates act as advisers to the members and participate in the camarade-
rie and activities of the college. Colleges also have nonfaculty university associates
and community associates from the Houston area, drawn from various
professions.
Each college is a self-governing group of students whose elected officers and
representatives are responsible to the master and to the college membership for
directing a variety of cultural, social, and athletic activities, for the appropriate
and responsible expenditure of college funds, and for maintaining good order in
the college. While uniformity among the colleges has never been sought, and each
college has developed its own particular interests and character, all seek to foster
fellowship among their members and a mature sense of honor, responsibility, and
sound judgment.
Upon acceptance by the University, each undergraduate student is designated
a member of one of the colleges. Two students who are entering Rice for the first
time may ask to be assigned to the same college but may not designate which
college. A new student may request membership in the same college as a close
relative. No other choice of college is allowed.
The buildings of each college include a dining hall and living rooms, which are
available to both resident and nonresident members, and living quarters for
approximately 2 1 5 students from all classes of the University, and all academic
disciplines. At present, on-campus residential space is available for most of the
first-year students who request it, but space is not assured until receipt of formal
notification. Continuing students draw for the available space by the priority and
lottery system established in each college since the demand exceeds the available
space.
The College Food Service provides 19 meals per week, excluding evening
meals on Saturday and Sunday. Breakfast and lunch meals are cafeteria service,
and dinner is seated, family style. No meals are provided on designated holidays
and recesses. Various services provided by the College Food Service for students
living in the colleges include: (1) assistance with special diets prescribed by a
physician; (2) sack lunches for students who must miss a meal due to a job conflict;
(3) sick trays for students when requested by the Student Health service; and (4)
alternate menu entree, whenever possible, in accordance with students' religious
practices.
College Courses
As one of their important activities, individual colleges sponsor courses and
workshops open to all students. College courses are initiated by students in the
1 20 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
colleges during the semester before they are offered. Following approval by the
master and faculty associates of the college and by the Vice-President for Student
Affairs, they are accepted for academic credit on the same basis as departmental
courses and listed by the Registrar each semester during preliminary registration.
College workshops carry no academic credit and do not appear on a student's
permanent record. Generally designated for instruction in practical skills, they
may meet on a regular schedule throughout the semester or be offered as short
courses.
By expanding the course offerings of the departments, college courses pro-
mote the academic involvement of the colleges and provide opportunity for
interdisciplinary topics of particular interest to students.
Student Government
All undergraduates are members of the Rice Student Association, which is
governed through the Student Senate, composed of the president, two vice-
presidents, the secretary, treasurer, the eight college presidents, and eight college
senators.
Alleged violations of University or college rules are handled in accordance
with the University Code of Judicial Procedure. In most cases, original jurisdic-
tion is assigned to student courts, appeal from whose verdict may be made to the
college master, the proctor, or the University Review Board as appropriate. Final
appeal is to the president of the University. The Honor Council, which is com-
posed entirely of students, administers the honor system and conducts hearings
and trials for alleged offenses against it. The University retains ultimate authority
in all matters of discipline and over all actions affecting its educational function or
the safety and well-being of members of the University community.
The Student Association annually presents two coveted awards, one to a
student and one to a faculty or staff member. The Rice Service Award, a memorial
to Hugh Scott Cameron, first dean of students at Rice, is awarded to currently
enrolled or former members of the Student Association who have rendered distin-
guished service to the student body. Selection is made by a committee of faculty
and students appointed by the association. The Mentor Recognition Award recog-
nizes extraordinary service to the student body by a current member of the faculty
or staff.
Student Activities
In addition to the many activities of the residential colleges, various campus-
wide organizations and activities give students a wide range of choices for extra-
curricular interests. The official publications include the Thresher, the student
newspaper, the Campanile, the university annual; and the University Blue, a
literary publication. The Rice Program Council sponsors various programs of
current interest to the student body as well as social functions. A campus radio
station, KTRU, is operated by students on an 18-hour, seven-day-a-week sched-
ule, broadcasting FM stereo.
A large number of student organizations provide for special interests, such as
the Black Student Union, the Hispanic Association for Cultural and Educational
Revitalization, the Chinese Student Association, Rice Young Democrats, and
STUDENT LIFE 121
Young Republicans. There are sports clubs for sailing, karate, rugby, lacrosse,
soccer, etc. A student debate society, a premed society, and a prelaw society serve
other student interests.
Many organizations are associated with special academic and professional
disciplines, such as foreign language clubs, the Architectural Society, the student
affiliates of the American Institute of Architects, the American Chemical Society,
and the student branches of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the
American Institute of Physics, the American Society of Civil Engineers, the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Association for Computing Ma-
chinery, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.
The Rice Players is an extracurricular theater group composed of Rice stu-
dents and faculty. The Players present at least four productions each year. Recent
productions include: Jean Genet's "The Balcony", Milan Kundera's "Jacques and
His Master," Sam Shepard's "Fool for Love", and an original production of
"Universified" by Tom Senning, Rice '88. The Players welcome participation by
anyone interested in any aspect of theater production or management.
Rice students are affiliated with a number of denominational religious organi-
zations. These include the Baptist Student Union, Canterbury Association, Chris-
tian Science Organization, Hillel Society, Lutheran Student Association, Newman
Club, Intervarsity Christian Fellowship, and the Wesley Foundation. Many of
these clubs are assisted by local clergy, who form the Joint Campus Ministry.
The Student Health Service
The Student Health Service fee, paid annually by undergraduate and graduate
students, makes available to students both the Student Health Service and the Rice
Counseling and Psychiatric Service. The care and services provided by the Health
Service and the Rice Counseling and Psychiatric Service are described in informa-
tion available from either Service or from the Office of Student Activities.
The Student Health Service is an outpatient primary care clinic located on
campus in the north wing of Hanszen College. The clinic is staffed by two
physicians and two nurses. Clinic hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday-
Friday through the undergraduate school year.
After hours and weekend medical care is provided by Park Plaza Hospital. For
treatment in the emergency room at Park Plaza Hospital students must identify
themselves as members of Rice University by presenting their Rice I.D. cards.
Students should also have available medical insurance information. Students will
be billed for services provided by Park Plaza. Students are responsible for all
medical bills for blood test. X-rays, and physician care outside of the Health
Service.
In serious emergencies call the Health Service (University extension x4966
during work hours). Campus Police (x3333), Houston Fire Department (227-
2323), Park Plaza Hospital Emergency Room (527-5134).
The Health Service is open from the first day of Orientation Week until the
day before Commencement. The Health Service is closed during the Christmas
break and Thanksgiving and Easter weekends, but is open during mid-term breaks
in the mornings only.
The Health Service provides the following:
1 . Primary care for illness and inj ury with referral to specialist when needed.
1 22 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
2. Maintenance of health record for all students and administration of
immunizations.
3. Contraceptive counseling and routine Pap Smears.
4. Administration of allergy injections with serum provided by student after
specialist allergy work-up.
5. Physical examinations for employment, transfer to another school, schol-
arship expeditions.
Confidentiality. The Student Health physician/patient relationship and confi-
dentiality is absolute, except where the individual student may be deemed a
significant health risk to other students.
All Rice students are required to have health insurance. Insurance may be
purchased through the University at two levels of coverage, described in a bro-
chure that is sent to incoming students each summer. Brochures and applications
may also be obtained from the Cashier's Office or the Office of Student Activities.
Rice's group coverage will be effective from 12:01 a.m., August 15, 1989, until
12:01 a.m., August 15, 1990. Dependent coverage is also available. If you have
other medical insurance, a waiver card showing proof of insurance must be signed
and returned to the Cashier's Office by August 1 5, prior to the beginning of classes,
to avoid automatic billing for coverage.
The Rice Counseling and Psychiatric Service, which is staffed in cooperation
with the Department of Psychiatry of the Baylor College of Medicine, provides
help to students with many types of problems. The health fee includes this service
although the Psychiatric Service is independent of the Student Health Service.
Consultation and brief psychotherapy are available without additional charge.
When it is clear that more prolonged counseling or treatment is necessary, the
individual may be referred to a private physician or a clinic at his or her own
expense or as covered by health insurance. An appointment may be made directly
by a student either by phone or in person at the office of the Service. Provisions
have been made for emergency situations that occur outside office hours. The
confidential relationship between doctor and patient is carefully maintained as
necessary for the effectiveness of the service.
Nonstudent spouses of students, both graduate and undergraduate, may
participate in both Health Service and Psychiatric Service if they pay the health
fee. The spouse must obtain an ID and have it validated through the Cashier's
Office once the Health Service fee has been paid.
Brochures describing the Health Service, Psychiatric Service, and student
health insurance are available in the Health Service Office, the Psychiatric Service
Office, and in the Office of Student Activities.
The Fondren Library
With a collection of some of 1 .4 million volumes, 2 million microforms, and
12,500 current periodical and other serial titles, the Fondren Library is strongly
committed to supporting the research and information needs of Rice's students

manuscripts, and University archives. Special collections, including Civil War
imprints, Texana, eighteenth century English drama, the papers and scientific
library of Sir Julian Huxley, the Anderson Collection on the History of Aeronau-
tics, as well as numerous literary and historical manuscript holdings are available
for research at the center. Large microform sets of research materials such as Early
American Imprints, papers of a number of United States presidents, and newspa-
pers are also available.
The Fondren's open shelf policy enables patrons to locate materials easily.
The reference/collection development librarians provide assistance in the use of
library materials and in computer searches of over nine hundred subject data
bases. Special facilities such as individual study carrels, group study rooms, audio-
visual facilities, microform reading carrels, word processing, and photodupli-
cating equipment are also available in the library.
The Rice Memorial Center — Ley Student Center
The Rice Memorial Center, built through the generosity of friends and alum-
ni, was dedicated on Homecoming weekend in the fall of 1 958. The Ley Student
Center was added through similar generosity and dedicated in the fall of 1 986. The
Rice Memorial Chapel is an integral part of the student center complex.
The Center serves as a gathering place for students and the University com-
munity, providing a variety of services, offices, and meeting facilities. The Rice
Memorial Center houses the Association of Rice Alumni, Career Services Center,
Student Activities Office, Minority Affairs Office, the Rice Student Volunteer
Program, the Rice Campus Store, Sammy's (snack bar and cafeteria), Willy's Pub
and the MOB (Marching Owl Band). The Ley Student Center is the home of the
Office of Student Advising, the International Student Office, the Student Associa-
tion, the Graduate Student Association, KTRU, the Thresher, the Campanile, the
Rice Program council and various other student organizations.
The student center meeting facilities are available to the University commu-
nity for meetings, parties, dinners, concerts, weddings, and special events. The
Grand Hall, Famsworth Pavilion, Brown Garden, Rayzor Memorial Chapel,
Kelley Lounge, Ray Memorial Court, and conference rooms provide a variety of
spaces for formal and informal meetings and special events.
Career Services Center
The Career Services Center is a full service career center offering a variety of
services to undergraduates, graduate students and alumni of the University. Our
services are designed to help everyone in the university community from liberal
arts majors to engineers.
Among the center's activities is career counseling for those unable to decide on
a career to pursue or explore, and for those who need assistance and direction in the
path they have chosen. Career testing is also available for those interested in a more
1 24 INFORMATION FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
analytical approach to career decision making. Workshops, career panels, and a
number of career fairs are sponsored by the Career Services Center each year to
provide information on career areas for students. Details on individual events are
publicized throughout the campus and through the Career News, a publication of
the center.
Located within the Career Services Center is the Career Library. The library
has a substantial collection of resources and literature on careers and occupations
in many areas, locating and securing employment, summer jobs, company infor-
mation, and graduate schools. These resources are also helpful in determining
areas of career exploration.
Internships may be obtained through the Joint Venture program of the Career
Services Center. Internships can be a vital part of a college education and students
are encouraged to apply for these opportunities through the center.
A great many representatives from business, industry, and other employing
organizations visit the center each year for prospective summer and full-time
employees. Students register and schedule interview dates and times through the
Center. Listings for full, part-time, and summer jobs are also available in the
Career Library.
Office of Minority Affairs
Located in the cloisters of the Rice Memorial Center, the Office of Minority
Affairs represents a deliberate, programmatic response to the academic, social and
recreational needs of ethnic minority students at Rice. Charged primarily with
providing counseling and support, the Office also serves as a reference and
resource center with a library of guides and information on graduate schools, jobs,
fellowships, internships and other opportunities available to minority students
once beyond the Rice community. The Office further serves to oversee cross-
cultural programming for the campus, and to promote the education and celebra-
tion of issues related to cultural diversity. Programming is designed to enhance the
University's efforts to recruit and retain more minority students.
Intercollegiate Athletics
A charter member of the Southwest Athletic Conference and a Division I-A
member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Rice fields teams in
football, basketball, baseball, cross country, indoor and outdoor track, swimming,
tennis, and golf for men — and in basketball, volleyball, cross country, indoor and
outdoor track, swimming, and tennis for women. Home football games are played
in the beautiful 70,000 seat Rice Stadium. Autry Court for basketball and volley- ;
ball, Cameron Field for baseball, the Jake Hess Tennis Stadium and the Rice Track \
Stadium round out a complex of outstanding athletic facilities. Dedicated to the ,
pursuit of high-level athletic goals for true student-athletes. Rice prides itself on its \
dual goal of excellence in both the academic program and the athletic arena, and .
refuses to use the rigors of either as an excuse for less than high quality performance j
in the other.
STUDENT LIFE 125
Intramural Sports
The Department of Human Performance and Health Sciences offers a super-
vised program of intramural sports for all students, faculty and staff. An individual
may participate in individual, dual, and team sports. Any interested students,
faculty and staff may form teams for the wide variety of tournaments. A student
may compete in the University intramural tournaments and/or represent his/her
college in the college team sports tournaments which follow the open tournaments.
In the past few years, over 6,000 entries from the student population have partici-
pated in 53 tournaments. (Students participate at their own risk.)
Sports Clubs
The Department of Human Performance and Health Sciences administers a
Sports Club Program. A sports club is a special interest group organized to engage
in and promote interest in a recreational physical activity. Clubs are organized in
bowling, cricket, cycling, fencing, lacrosse, martial arts, rugby, soccer, sailing,
volleyball, ultimate frisbee, and water polo. These groups are formed to increase
individual and team skills through a continuing instructional and competitive
program. Club activities are supported by individual contributions, membership
dues, University funds, and fund-raising activities. (Students participate at their
own risk.)
Student Automobiles
All student vehicles must be registered with the Traffic Division of the Rice
University Police Department. Students must park in assigned areas and observe

Information for
Graduate Students
Since the opening of the university in 1912, the importance of graduate study
and research as a principal means of advancing knowledge has been recognized.
The first Doctor of Philosophy degree was awarded in 1 9 1 8 in mathematics. Since
that time, the graduate area has been expanding through the basic sciences, the
humanities, engineering, the social sciences, architecture, music, and administra-
tion and includes interdepartmental areas. The number of graduate programs has
steadily increased, and advanced degrees are now offered in 33 fields of study.
Graduate programs are of two types, research and professional. Research
programs lead to the Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Architecture, Master of Arts
and Master of Science degrees. Professional programs provide advanced course
work in scientific disciplines, but do not generally include independent research.
They lead to the degrees of Doctor of Musical Arts, Master in Applied Mathemati-
:al Sciences, Master of Accounting, Master of Architecture, Master of Architecture
in Urban Design, Master of Arts in Teaching, Master of Business Administration
which includes public and nonprofit management). Master of Chemical Engi-
leering. Master of Civil Engineering, Master of Computer Science, Master of
Electrical Engineering, Master of Environmental Engineering, Master of Environ-
nental Science, Master of Materials Science, Master of Mechanical Engineering,
Master of Music, and Master of Statistics.
All degrees conferred by the university are awarded solely in recognition of
educational attainments, not as warranty of future employment or admission to
)ther programs of higher education.
Research Degrees
The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is awarded for original studies in account-
ng, anthropology, biochemistry, biology, chemical engineering, chemistry, civil
ngineering, computer science, economics, electrical and computer engineering,
inglish, environmental science and engineering, French, geology, German, histo-
y, linguistics, materials science, mathematical sciences, mathematics, mechanical
:ngineering, philosophy, physics, political science, psychology, religious studies,
tatistics, space physics and astronomy. In architecture, the equivalent degree is
he Doctor of Architecture. These degrees are awarded after successful completion
1 30 INFORMATION FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS
of a program of advanced study and an original investigation reported in an
approved thesis. As final evidence of preparation for this degree, the candidate
must pass a public oral examination.
The degree of Master of Arts is available in the various humanities listed ;
above plus art history and Spanish and in scientific fields of study, including the_
social sciences. The Master of Science degree may be obtained in the fields of;
chemical, civil, electrical and computer engineering, mechanical engineering,!
computer science, environmental science and engineering, materials science/
engineering, and space physics and astronomy. The Master of Architecture,
Master of Architecture in Urban Design, and Master of Music are also offered as
research degrees, with a thesis option.
The Master of Arts or Master of Science degree, or the Master of Architecture
or Master of Music research degree, may be awarded after completion of at least 30
semester hours of study, including the thesis, 24 of which must be done at Rice. The
residency requirement (full-time study at the University) is one semester. Pro-
grams generally include original work embodied in a thesis, and the candidate's
preparation is evidenced by a public examination. Most students require three or
four semesters to complete such a program, although some programs may bej
longer. In many departments, students may be awarded a master's degree on the
basis of achieving candidacy for the doctoral degree. Such an award must be
approved prior to April 1 of the year in which the degree is to be awarded.
Foreign language requirements for the master's and doctoral degrees are!
established by the individual departments according to the need for foreign
languages in the conduct of research and scholarship in their respective fields.
Information on candidacy, the oral defense of thesis, and thesis regulations is
given under Academic Regulations, beginning on page 84. More specific informa-
tion about requirements for advanced degrees in each field of study is given underj
department headings in the section of the catalog which begins on page 148.
Additional material may be obtained from the appropriate department chair.
Professional Degrees
Rice University offers several advanced degree programs which prepare
students for positions in fields such as accounting, business administration, public^ ,
and nonprofit management (see accounting and administrative science), architec-j
ture, mathematical sciences, computer science, engineering, and secondary educa-l
tion; in some departments, such degrees prepare the student for a doctoral level
program. In addition, a non-thesis Doctor of Musical Arts degree is awarded after
completion of a program of advanced study and required performances or original $[
compositions. (If the field of emphasis is composition, a major work is presented aj|p
a thesis.)
Requirements for these degrees include the successful completion of 3( iia
semester hours or more of advanced courses (numbered 300 or higher). At least 2^(
of these 30 hours must be taken at Rice. Additional information is presented in thi
catalog under the departmental listings in the Courses of Instruction sectior
beginning on page 148 and in the Academic Regulations section, beginning or j^
page 84. In each case, application materials are available from the department.

The Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Administration offers two professional
degrees, the Master of Business Administration (which includes a concentration in
public and nonprofit management) and the Master of Accounting. Completion of
either professional degree program requires two academic years. (Rice undergrad-
uates may complete the Master of Accounting program in one year of graduate
study if they have taken a prescribed set of prerequisite courses by the end of their
senior year. Please see pp. 72 and 152 for information.) To qualify for either
degree, the student must maintain a "B" (3.0) average and may be required to pass
a special examination during the last semester in residence. There is no thesis
requirement, although there is a thesis option in the Master of Accounting degree.
Applicants must submit scores on the Graduate Management Admission Test
(GMAT), all college transcripts, and three letters of recommendation, as well as
Specified essays. Unless they received an undergraduate degree from a U.S. college
or university, foreign nationals whose native language is not English must submit
recent scores on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Admission to
the Jones Graduate School is open to undergraduates from Rice and other univer-
sities, regardless of undergraduate major, but is highly selective and limited to
those who have performed with distinction in their previous academic work and
on the GMAT. No specific undergraduate course work is required for admission to
ither master's degree program. However, undergraduates contemplating gradu-
ate work in accounting or administrative science are encouraged to take course
ivork in accounting, microeconomics, and computing. College mathematics
through calculus is helpful.

PROFESSIONAL DEGREES 1 3 5
Non-degree Programs
Class III
Students with a "B" (3.0) or better grade average and an undergraduate or
graduate degree from an accredited college or university may apply for admission
as Class III students to take courses for credit without being admitted to a specific
degree program. Permission of instructor (and in some cases, a department) and
approval by the Dean of Continuing Studies are required.
Courses taken under this arrangement cannot be used to fulfill the require-
ments for a degree at Rice unless and until the student has been accepted into a
degree program by an academic department (and in the case of graduate students
by the Associate Provost), and the department has approved a special request that
the Class III course count toward the degree. It is the student's responsibility to
ensure that the proper appeals have been obtained. Normally, no more than three
courses taken as a Class III student can be applied toward a graduate degree. Class
III students cannot take courses on a pass/fail basis.
An application and course request form can be obtained from the Office of
Continuing Studies and Special Programs, P.O. Box 1 892, Houston, Texas, 7725 1-
1892.
Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended should be
mailed directly from previously attended institutions to the Office of Continuing
Studies at Rice. A student who has attended Rice as a Class III student must still
complete continuation forms for each semester and submit them by the deadlines.
These materials will be sent upon request from the Office of Continuing Studies.
Deadlines for all applications are the respective workdays closest to August 1,
December 1 and May 1 5 (Summer School). Applications will not be considered
after classes have begun.
The tuition for 1 989-90 (subject to change) is $265 per semester hour; the total
tuition not to exceed $3,050 per semester. In addition, a $50 application fee is due
each semester. All fees are payable during registration, which must be completed
by the end of the second week of class. Persons submitting applications not
■completed by the deadline must pay a late application fee of $50. This late fee will
also be charged continuing Class III students who do not complete continuation
forms by the above deadlines. For some courses students may be charged for
computer time. If a class is filled with degree students, Class III students may be
dropped up to the end of the third week of class. In that case, the tuition (less $25 of
the registration) will be refunded.
Because Class III is not a degree granting program, foreign graduate students
enrolled as Class III students cannot receive visas from Rice University. Persons
who are B-2 visitors may be ineligible for enrollment as Class III students. A
determination will be made by the Dean of Continuing Studies and the Foreign
Student Advisor.
Faculty/staff spouses may apply and receive a tuition waiver for undergradu-
ate level courses only; however, they must pay all fees and observe all deadlines.
For an application or for further information, please contact the Office of
Continuing Studies and Special Programs at (71 3) 520-6022 or 527-4803.
1 36 INFORMATION FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS
Admission to Graduate Study
ll
Graduate study is open to well-qualified students who possess adequate'
background in the field of study they wish to pursue. Normally, but not always, the
equivalent of an undergraduate major in the field is required, but the final
judgment of preparation rests with the department concerned. The emphasis is on
the quality of the applicant's preparation rather than on the academic program
pursued or credits earned in achieving it.
Applicants for admission to graduate study should address all communica-
tions to the chair of the appropriate department, who will provide the application
form and relevant information about the program. The completed form, with
transcript and recommendations, should be returned to the department chair.
Scores on the aptitude portion of the Graduate Record Examination (or the.
Graduate Management Admission Test), and an appropriate advanced test if
required by the department, should be sent directly to the admitting department.
In order for these scores to be available at the time when admission decisions are
normally made, applicants are encouraged to take the GRE by December of the
year prior to that for which application is being made. The general application,
deadline for the following academic year is February 1 . However, some depart-
ments specify an earlier deadline, and departments may occasionally be able to
consider late applications.
Candidates are evaluated on their previous academic records, available test
scores, and letters of reference from scholars under whom they have studied.
Additional evidence of qualification to pursue advanced study, such as writing
samples, portfolios, or statements of purpose, may be required. In addition to any
specific requirements of the department, the applicant is expected to have at least a
"B" (3.0) average in undergraduate work and high scores on the Graduate Record
Examination (or GMAT). Foreign applicants, whose native language is not En-
glish, must take the TOEFL test, and are expected to have at least a score of 550.
Initial decisions regarding admission or denial are made by departmental commit-
tees, which send recommendations to the Office of Graduate Programs for review.
Official offers of admission may be made only by the Associate Provost.
Graduate programs at Rice are designed for full-time study, but a limited
number of students may be admitted on a part-time basis if the department
recommends making such an exception, and if the Associate Provost approves.
Each graduate student is advised by the departmental chair or an officially
designated faculty member in planning the initial semester of graduate study. As
soon as possible, each student should affiliate with a faculty advisor who will help
plan both the course program and the thesis or special report.
Academic Regulations
Residency. The minimum residency (i.e., period of full-time study at Rice) is
one semester for the M.A. or M.S., and four semesters for the doctorate.
Leave of Absence. Leave of absence is granted only by the Graduate Office
upon the recommendation of the department, and is granted only to graduate
students in good standing with the University. Leave must be approved in advance
PROFESSIONAL DEGREES 1 37
of the academic semester in question; it will not be granted after the student has
registered for courses or after the registration period has passed. Normally, leave of
absence is granted for no more than two consecutive semesters. No work toward a
degree may be done at Rice or involve Rice faculty (or facilities) during a leave of
absence. A reinstatement fee of $25 is charged upon return from an official leave.
Minimum Registration. Except for Degree 798 ("Degree Candidates Only"),
registration in the final semester when all requirements have been completed
earlier, the minimum number of hours for which a student may register is three.
Courses of Study. Graduate students may register for courses of study only
with the approval of their departmental advisors or chair. Similarly, students are
allowed to drop or add courses only if departmental approval has been given.
Full-time Status. Graduate programs at Rice generally require full-time study.
The semester course load for full-time students is nine hours or more, as required
by the department. Full-time students may accept other employment only with the
approval of the department and the Graduate Office. Students who are employed
elsewhere for more than 20 hours per week are not normally eligible for full-time
status at Rice.
Part-time Study. Part-time students are occasionally admitted by special
permission, usually for non-thesis programs only. Departmental recommendation
is required. Students enrolling for nine semester hours or more will be considered
full-time, and full-time tuition will apply.
Pass/Fail Option. Graduate students may take courses on the pass/fail basis
only with departmental approval. All other restrictions regarding the pass/fail
option, as stated on page 86, apply equally to graduate students. Class III students
may not take courses pass/fail.
Grade Standards. In order to graduate, students must achieve at least a B-
(2.67) average on courses counted towards the graduate degree. This is a minimal
requirement; some departments have more stringent standards. Grade point
averages are computed as shown in the undergraduate section of this catalog, on
page 88.
Probationary Status. A graduate student is considered to be on probationary
status whenever the cumulative GPA, or the GPA for one semester, falls below
2.33. Some departments may have more stringent standards. In most cases, the
student's department will send the student a letter of warning. However, the
probationary status applies whether or not such a letter has been issued. A second
semester of probationary status will lead to automatic dismissal by the Graduate
Office unless a plea for exception is presented by the student's department and
approved by the Associate Provost. A student may be dismissed by departmental
action after only one semester of performance at the probationary level. (For other
causes, see below.)
Dismissal. A graduate student may be dismissed from a program either for
reasons of unsatisfactory progress or for reasons of behavior judged by the Univer-
sity to be disruptive or otherwise contrary to the best interest of either the
University or the student.
Appeal. Graduate students may petition Graduate Council concerning the
application of any academic regulation. Petitions should be addressed to the Chair
of the Council, but should be made only when a dispute cannot be resolved at the
departmental level.
Calendar Deadlines. Graduate students are expected to observe deadlines,
juch as for adding and dropping courses, as stated in the academic calendar.
1 38 INFORMATION FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS
Continuous Enrollment, Readmission. Graduate students are expected tct
maintain continuous involvement and enrollment, unless official leave of absence L
has been granted. Failure to register for any period without a leave of absence!
granted by the Associate Provost constitutes a de facto withdrawal. If the student
later wishes to resume study, reapplication is required. Readmission is given only'ii
on the recommendation of the department and the approval of the Associate
Provost. A readmission fee of $ 100 is charged.
Departmental Service. In most research degree programs, graduate students
are assigned a limited amount of teaching or other departmental service as part ol
their training. The assignment should not entail more than ten hours per week,|
averaged over the semester, and will not be required for more than eight semesters.'
Approval of Candidacy. A student seeking a master's or doctoral degree must
submit a petition through the departmental chair to the Associate Provost. The
chair must specify the student's thesis director, certify that the applicant has
fulfilled the departmental requirements and provide a transcript or other evidence
that the work within the department is of high quality. The final oral examination'
in defense of thesis can be given only after the candidacy has been approved by the!
Associate Provost. Applications for approval of candidacy for the doctoral degree
must be filed in the Office of Graduate Programs prior to November 1 and for the
master's degree prior to March 1 of the academic year in which graduation is
expected. The approval is valid for two years for the master's degree and four yearsj
for the doctoral degree. A student must have been approved for candidacy for thd
doctoral degree before the beginning of the ninth semester of residency at Rice toi
be eligible for continued financial support.
Oral Examinations, Thesis Committees. A committee for the oral examina-
tion, known as the thesis committee, is approved by the Associate Provost at the'
time candidacy is approved. A thesis committee is composed of at least three
members, of which two, including the committee chair, must be members of the
department. In the case of a doctoral committee one member must be from
another department. At least three members, including the chair, must be tenured
or tenure-track members of the Rice faculty or must be members previously
certified by the Provost. The committee chair need not be the thesis director, but
must be tenured or a tenure-track member of the major department.
Candidates are responsible for informing the members of their committee of
the nature of the research and its progress; the members of the committee should
review and approve the thesis in preliminary form before March 1 5 in order for the
candidate to be eligible to receive the degree in the May commencement. The oral
examination may be scheduled at any time after the approval of candidacy, prior
to the beginning of examination week in either semester. For the doctoral degree,
the examination must be announced in the University Calendar at least one week
in advance. In appropriate circumstances, an oral examination for the Ph.D. may
be scheduled during the summer, and the posting of notice of the time and place on
the bulletin board of Fondren Library the preceding week is acceptable as the
public announcement. For the master's degree, public notice of the oral examina-i
tion should be posted on the departmental bulletin board one week in advance, i
The length of the examination and the character of the subject matter on
which the candidate will be examined are left to the judgment of the committed
Should the candidate fail, the chair may schedule a second examination. In the'
event of a second failure, the student is required to withdraw from the University.;
Following the successful passing of the oral examination in defense of the thesis,
TUITION, FEES, AND EXPENSES 1 39
two signed copies of the thesis must be submitted to the Office of Graduate
Programs no later than one year from the date of the examination.
Students who pass the oral examination in defense of thesis on or before the
first day of classes of the fall semester do not have to register for that semester even
though work on the final copy may be continuing. They must register for Degree
798 in the spring in order to receive the degree.
Thesis Regulations and Procedures. The thesis, which is the principal record of
work for an advanced degree, will be permanently preserved in the library.
Directions for standard thesis form, which must be followed in detail, are provided
by the Office of Graduate Programs upon approval of candidacy. Students submit-
ting a dissertation for the Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Architecture, or Doctor
of Musical Arts degree must fill out a Survey of Earned Doctorates form. All
students submitting theses, whether for master's or doctoral degrees, must com-
plete a University Microfilm contract. Fees for the microfilming and binding of the
thesis are to be paid to the cashier prior to submission of the two copies for
approval. The deadline for submission of the thesis to the Office of Graduate
Programs is noon of the next-to-the-last Friday preceding commencement.
Tuition, Fees, and Expenses

under one of the categories above, must be registered in Degree 798, "Require-
ments complete — registering for degree only" for the spring semester in which the
degree is awarded. Tuition is not charged for registration in Degree 798.
For an annual fee of $35, a graduate student may purchase admittance to all
regularly scheduled athletic events. If married, a student may purchase a season
ticket for a spouse at a reduced rate of one-half the regular price, provided the
season ticket is purchased at the beginning of the fall term.
Fellowships, Scholarships, and Prizes
Memorial Fellowships, Honors, and Prizes. Provision is made for a variety of
fellowships, scholarships, and prizes available to graduates of this and other
universities. Memorial fellowships that have been founded and endowed by gift or
bequest on the part of friends of Rice University provide stipends enabling the
holders to devote their time to study and research in their chosen fields. There are
also several industrial fellowships maintained by companies interested in the
development of technical fields and the training of competent scientists, engineers, |
and business executives.
Persons desiring consideration for appointment as fellows should consult
with the department in which they desire to do research. However, not all fellow-,
ships are available every year.

Rice Graduate Fellowships. Graduate students with high academic records
and outstanding qualifications may receive support through awards of Rice Uni-
versity Fellowships. These fellowships in most cases provide a stipend plus tuition
for the nine-month academic period. Special fellowships may be available to
provide support during the summer months. Particularly outstanding entering
students may be nominated by their department for a Rice Presidential
Fellowship.
Research Assistantships, usually funded from grants and contracts, are availa-
ble in many departments (especially those in the divisions of Natural Sciences and
Engineering). These awards are given to qualified students (usually second-year or
later) to provide assistance on faculty research projects. However, such work !
normally contributes to the student's thesis. In some departments, a limited :
number of Teaching Assistantships may be available to advanced students. Ap- j
pointees to any fellowship or assistantship must be engaged in full-time graduate
study.
Eligibility for support from Rice University funds is limited to five years of
study for students seeking a doctorate or three years for students seeking a master's
degree. However, in order to maintain eligibility in the fifth year, the student must
have achieved candidacy. Doctoral students entering with a previously earned
relevant master's degree will be eligible for stipend support for a maximum of four i
years of study and must have achieved candidacy by the beginning of the fourth I
year. j
Graduate Tuition Scholarships. Students whose previous records show i
marked promise but for whom no graduate fellowships are available may, especial- !
ly in their first year of graduate study, be awarded full or partial graduate tuition
FINANCIAL AID 143
scholarships without stipend. Graduate scholars must be engaged in full-time
study.
Scholarships which provide both tuition and stipends are also available for a
limited number of graduate students who are participants in the Army or Navy
ROTC programs. For information on these scholarships, contact the Departments
of Military or Naval Science.
Financial Aid
A limited number of tuition grants based on financial need are available. Rice
engineering students who have received financial aid from the University during
their undergraduate years may apply for continuation of assistance as needed for
the year of study for the professional master's degree.
The Office of Financial Aid at Rice University offers limited aid to graduate
students in the form of loans and work to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and
refugees.
Guaranteed Student Loans (GSL) may be processed through Rice up to a
maximum eligibility of $7,500 per annum. These are guaranteed by the State of
Texas. Eligibility criteria are set by Rice University and the Texas Guaranteed
Student Loan Corporation.
No interest accrues nor is payment required while a student is enrolled at least
half-time at Rice or full-time in any eligible post-secondary institution or for six
months after terminating attendance. Repayment begins after this period, includ-
ing a 7 to 9 percent annual interest charge on the unpaid principal balance.
Depending on the size of the total loan commitment, the repayment period may
extend over as much as 1 0 years. A completed GSL application, with supplements
and 1040s must be submitted to the Rice Financial Aid Office.
CAVEAT: If the student has prior undergraduate GSLs, it would be in his best
interest to obtain additional loans from the same source. Deferment forms should
be filed with the holders of undergraduate loans. This applies to those who are Rice
graduates as well as students from other schools.
Supplemental Loans for Students (SLS) are available to graduate students.
They may borrow up to $4,000 per annum to an aggregate of $20,000. The interest
rate on SLS loans is a maximum of 1 2 percent per year on the unpaid balance of the
loans. Ordinarily the first payment is due within 60 days of the date of disburse-
ment. However, graduate students may defer payment of principal and interest
until termination of enrollment.
A completed SLS application, with supplements, must be submitted to the
Rice Financial Aid Office.
All students may work on campus but time is a a major factor. For most, 1 0 to
1 2 hours a week is a reasonable limit. College Work/Study is available to students
who meet eligibility criteria set by the Federal Government. A Financial Aid Form
(FAF) must be filed with College Scholarship Ser%'ice (CSS), and earnings will be
limited to the amount shown on the award letter.
Fellowship and scholarship recipients are selected by the individual depart-
ments, subject to the approval of the Office of Graduate Programs. Applications
for such awards should be made directly to the department involved.
1 44 INFORMATION FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS
A Gulf Oil Corporation Foundation Loan Fund and the Benjamin S. Lindsey
and Vesla Nobile Lindsey Memorial Loan Fund are also available to students who
are working toward a degree to assist them in meeting educational expenses. The
funds of this loan program are limited. Interested persons may contact the Finan-
cial Aid Office. Interested students wishing to apply for a loan under any of these
loan programs should commence application procedures the summer prior to the
academic year for which they are seeking assistance. Detailed information and
application forms are available in the Financial Aid Office.
An Emergency Loan Fund, originally provided through gifts from the Gradu-
ate Wives Club of 1 972-73, the Graduate Student Association, and various faculty
members, is available to help graduate students at Rice with short-term needs.
Loans from this fund are limited to $ 1 50 and must be repaid within three months.
In lieu of interest, a charge of $ 1 per $50 loaned is assessed to maintain the fund.
Graduate Student Life
Graduate Student Responsibility
Rice University encourages student self-discipline within the framework of its
general objectives. Each member of the community is expected to govern his or her
conduct by standards of good taste and ethical judgment and to exercise personal
responsibility.
The University reserves the right to require the withdrawal of any students
whose failure to accept responsibilities as evidenced by conduct or their scholastic
achievements is considered detrimental to their own or the University's best
interests.
The Honor System
Graduate students are expected to observe the provisions of the honor code.
The provisions of the honor system are summarized on page 1 1 8.
Fondren Library
With a collection of some 1 .4 million volumes, 2 million microforms, and
12,500 current periodical and other serial titles, the Fondren Library is strongly
committed to supporting the research and information needs of Rice's students
and faculty and it provides extensive resources for advanced study and research.
Among the notable research collections are the Menil Collection in art and art
history, the Nadler German language and literature collection, as well as strong
collections in Austrian history, architecture, engineering, American history,
French literature, and the natural sciences and engineering. Bibliographic access is
provided through LIBRIS, the Fondren's automated catalog.
The library is also a depository for United States Government documents and
for United States patents, as well as a University affiliate for the U.S. Census data.
The Woodson Research Center is the respository of the library's rare books,
manuscripts, and University archives. Special collections, including Civil War
GRADUATE STUDENT LIFE 1 45
imprints, Texana, eighteenth century English drama, the papers and scientific
library of Sir Julian Huxley, the Anderson Collection on the History of Aeronau-
tics, as well as numerous literary and historical manuscript holdings are available
for research at the center. Large microform sets of research materials such as Early
American Imprints, papers of a number of United States presidents, and newspa-
pers are also available.
The Fondren's open shelf policy enables patrons to locate materials easily.
The reference/collection development librarians provide assistance in the use of
library materials and in computer searches of over nine hundred subject data
bases. Special facilities such as individual study carrels, group study rooms, audio-
visual facilities, microform reading carrels, word processing, and photodupli-
cating equipment are also available in the library.
Graduate Student Government and Organizations
All full-time graduate students are members of the Graduate Student Associa-
tion, which is the sole organ representing the graduate students as a body. Part-
time graduate students may become members of the association upon payment of
the necessary fee. The governing body of this organization is the Graduate Student
Association Council, consisting of a chairman, a secretary, a treasurer, and a
representative from each department offering graduate study. Graduate students
also participate in University affairs through their representatives on many of the
standing committees appointed by the president, such as the Graduate Council,
the Research Council, and on various departmental committees as well.
The Graduate Student Association invites participation by all members in a
variety of social activities.
Housing
The Rice Graduate House is located at the south edge of the campus at the
comer of South Main and University. The facility offers rooms, either private or
shared, community kitchens, a commons and meeting rooms, and free transporta-
tion to academic buildings. Graduate students may also apply for membership in
the undergraduate residential colleges. Rooms and apartments are often available
for rent within walking or bicycling distance of the campus. The Office of Student
Advising Activities and the Student Association keep a record of rooms and
apartments about which they have been notified, and the daily newspapers list still
others. Incoming graduate students are advised to arrive in Houston several days
early in order to find housing. Rooms in the Graduate House must be reserved on a
space-available basis by July 1 5 for the fall semester.
The Student Health Service and Insurance
Graduate students pay the same health service fee as undergraduates. A
primary care outpatient clinic, open weekdays through the undergraduate school
year, is located on campus in Hanszen College. After clinic hours, medical care is
available at Park Plaza Hospital emergency room and through the doctors at Park
Plaza Hospital. Access to limited psychiatric consultation, including marriage
1 46 INFORMATION FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS
counseling, is also available to graduate students through the Rice Counseling and
Psychiatric Service. For more information, refer to page 121.
All Rice students are required to have health insurance. Insurance may be
purchased through the University at two levels of coverage, described in a bro-
chure that is available in the Cashier's Office and the Office of Student Advising
and Activities. Rice's group coverage will be effective from 1 2:0 1 a.m., August 1 5,
1 989, until 1 2:0 1 a.m. August 1 5, 1 990. Dependent coverage is also available. If a
student has other medical insurance, a waiver card showing proof of insurance
must be signed and returned to the Cashier's Office by August 1 5, prior to the
beginning of classes, to avoid automatic billing for coverage.
Student Automobiles ■ ..
All automobiles on campus must be registered with the Rice University Police
Department. For more information, refer to page 125.

Courses of
Instruction
Courses of
Instruction
Academic departments are listed in this section alphabetically (except for the
engineering departments, which are grouped together), with complete lists and
descriptions of courses. Most departments also give specific requirements for
students both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. These statements are
supplemental to the University degree requirements described on pages 63-84.
Courses numbered below 300 are lower level or introductory courses. Those
numbered 300 to 499 are designated as advanced courses. Advanced courses are
open to first-year and second-year students with proper prerequisites and to
graduate students on approval of the student's adviser. Courses designed for
graduate students are numbered 500 and above. The methods of presentation and
quality of work expected make them generally unsuited to undergraduate partici-
pation. Undergraduates are permitted to enroll in graduate-level courses only after
consultation with their advisers and with the instructor of the course.
F and/or S following the course number indicates the semester the course is
normally given.
Figures in parentheses following the title of each course signify the number of
class hours per week, the number of laboratory hours per week, and the credit in
semester hours for the completed course, in that order.
Certain courses are dependent upon available facuhy, student demand, or
funding. Uncertainty about when or whether a particular course will be offered
during 1989-90 is indicated by the designation "Not offered every year."
Course descriptions in this section illustrate topics within the subject matter
of the courses. Topics actually covered in the courses may vary from the examples
given. Courses are subject to cancellation or modification, but cancellation of a
course after final enrollment occurs only in extreme circumstances.
Students may obtain more detailed information about courses from the
Registrar's Schedule of Courses Offered published each year or from the instructor
of the course.
Persons using this catalog to evaluate Rice University transcripts should refer
to course titles and descriptions, rather than course numbers, to determine content
because course numbers are occasionally changed.

Degrees Offered: Master of Business Administration: Master of Accounting;
Ph.D. in Accounting
The Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Administration was established in
1 974 through a gift from Houston Endowment Inc. Interdisciplinary in nature, the
school utilizes faculty of other university departments to augment its own still
expanding faculty. The school is dedicated to providing unique educational oppor-
tunities for professional training in the fields of accounting, business administra-
tion, or public and nonprofit management for highly select graduate students. The
curricula leading to the degrees of Master of Business Administration (which
includes a concentration in public and nonprofit management) and Master of
-Accounting are designed to be distinctive in terms of scope, realism, and utility.
The school also offers a Doctor of Philosophy in Accounting, in which students
undertake highly individualized research studies under the direction of distin-
guished scholars. (Ph.D. applications are not being accepted in 1 989-90). Finan-
cial aid is available for both master's and doctoral degree students.
Undergraduate Program. No undergraduate major is offered in the Jones
Graduate School: however, such undergraduate courses as accounting may be used
to fulfill major requirements in the interdisciplinary program in managerial
studies. This degree program is described on page 369.
Students admitted to the Honors Program in Managerial Studies may elect
certain specified graduate courses in accounting and administrative science as part
of their major requirements. In addition, the undergraduate major in managerial
studies for Rice students admitted as seniors to the Jones Graduate School in the
1 50 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
special "five-year plan" may be partly satisfied by course work taken for the
master's degree.
Graduate Programs. The Jones Graduate School of Administration offers the
Master of Business Administration and Master of Accounting degrees and the
Doctor of Philosophy in Accounting. Applicants to these programs must submit
recent scores on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), all official
college transcripts, and three letters of recommendation. Unless they received an
undergraduate degree from a U.S. college or university, foreign nationals whose
native language is not English must submit recent scores on the Test of English as a
Foreign Language (TOEFL). Application forms are available from and should be
submitted to the Office of Admissions and Student Affairs, Jesse H. Jones Gradu-
ate School of Administration, Rice University, P.O. Box 1892, Houston, Texas
77251. Graduates from any accredited university and from a broad range of
undergraduate majors are considered for either professional program. Students
enrolled in the Jones Graduate School represent a wide variety of undergraduate
majors, including economics, managerial studies, mathematics, mathematical
sciences, political science, history, languages, fine arts, natural sciences, engineer-
ing, and business administration. An accelerated "five-year" degree plan is availa-
ble to exceptional Rice students in which they may complete the master's degree by
the end of five years of college study. Admission to the Jones Graduate School is
highly selective and limited to those who have performed with distinction in their
previous academic work and on the GMAT.
Undergraduates contemplating graduate work in accounting or administra-
tive science are encouraged to take course work in principles of accounting,
principles of microeconomics, and business data processing. College mathematics
through calculus is helpful. However, no specific undergraduate course work is
required for admission.
A minimum cumulative average of 3.0 (B) is required for graduation. This
requirement applies to Jones Graduate School courses and to any other Rice
University courses taken for the M.B.A. or Master of Accounting degrees. All
courses taken for the degree (including courses taken outside the Jones Graduate
School) will be counted in the GPA calculation.
Grades lower than C are not acceptable for credit towards graduation. Any
time a student receives a grade lower than C, the course must be repeated if it is
required for graduation. If a grade lower than C is received in an elective course,
the specific course need not be repeated, but the credits must be made up.
A student with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher is eligible to continue in the
school and is eligible for graduation and for financial aid from Jones School
sources. A student with a cumulative GPA lower than 3.0 will be placed on
probation and may have financial aid terminated. A student will return to good
academic standing, but will not necessarily receive financial aid, by achieving a
cumulative GPA of at least 3.0.
A student is subject to academic dismissal if: ( 1 ) after attempted completion of
at least 1 2, but fewer than 24 hours, the student's cumulative grade point average is
below 2.90; (2) after attempted completion of at least 24 hours, but fewer than 40
hours, the student's cumulative grade point average is below 2.95; (3) after
attempted completion of at least 40 hours, the student's cumulative grade point
average is below 3.0 or the student attains a semester average of below 3.0 while on
probation.
ACCOUNTING AND ADMINISTRATIVE SCIENCE 1 5 1
Any student who has completed 64 approved hours for the M.B.A. or 33 for
the Master of Accounting degree, but has a cumulative average lower than 3.0, will
not be permitted to graduate. Such students may, at the school's sole discretion, be
permitted to complete additional approved course work in the subsequent 12
months in an effort to raise the cumulative average to 3.0. Students in this situation
are also subject to academic suspension or dismissal.
A student who continues on probation in consecutive semesters is not eligible
for scholarship support from the Jones Graduate School unless his or her most
recent grade point average for the immediately preceding semester is 3.0 or above.
Students who have been suspended may not be eligible for financial aid from Jones
Graduate School sources upon their return to school.
In addition, students are expected at all times to maintain high standards of
ethical and professional conduct. They are treated as professional colleagues and
are expected to behave accordingly. Failure to maintain such standards is grounds
for disciplinary action, including dismissal.
Financial assistance by the Jones Graduate School is awarded only for a given
semester or year. Continuation of assistance depends on satisfactory academic
performance, professional behavior, and availability of funds.
In the event of a significant disagreement between a student and an instructor,
the following grievance process will be used. First, the student is expected to seek
an accommodation with the instructor. Second, either party may then bring the
matter to the associate dean for student affairs, who will attempt mediation. Third,
either party may then appeal to the Curriculum and Standards Committee and the
dean. The grievance process is conducted subject to a formal written policy
approved by the school faculty. This process should be reserved for serious
complaints of individual mistreatment; frivolous complaints will be dismissed. By
university policy, a final grade for a course submitted to the registrar may be
changed only if a clerical error has been made in calculating that grade; grading is a
matter of faculty judgment. A copy of the formal written grievance policy is
available from the associate dean for student affairs.
Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) The M.B.A. program seeks to
prepare students for high-level management positions in business, government,
and nonprofit organizations.
Completion of the M.B.A. degree requires a minimum of two academic years
in residence at Rice and 64 credit hours. One year of this residence requirement
may be completed prior to receipt of the bachelor's degree through the accelerated
"five-year" plan for Rice undergraduates. No student can receive a Rice graduate
degree without first or simultaneously receiving a baccalaureate degree from his or
her undergraduate institution.
The M.B.A. student must register for no fewer than 1 5 and no more than 1 7
credit hours. Any other registration requires special permission. All registration
and drop/add forms require the signature of the associate dean for student affairs
or his designee. All courses must be approved by the Jones Graduate School.
Requirements are stated annually for each entering class.
Waivers, exemptions, and transfers of credit are solely the decision of the
school. Required courses may be waived in exceptional cases where the student
already has the equivalent preparation. The residence requirement is not neces-
sarily reduced, but additional elective courses are made available.
Students must follow the curriculum of study as prescribed by the Jones
Graduate School. Exceptions are granted only upon written petition to the school's
1 52 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
Curriculum and Standards Committee, which advises the dean; the dean's deci-
sion must be appealed to the Graduate Council.
The first year of the full-time program is completely required and consists of
foundation courses including accounting, communications, economics, finance,
legal and governmental processes, management information systems, marketing,
organizational theory, and quantitative methods. The student must complete at
least 33 approved credit hours in the first year. The exact courses will be specified
by the Jones Graduate School at registration. No exceptions are permitted except
at the sole discretion of the school. Courses in the first year serve as prerequisites
for the second year required and elective courses. Prerequisite requirements are
enforced.
The second year features two case method courses on management strategy
designed to integrate the foundations skills taught in the first year. The student
must complete at least 31 approved credit hours in the second year, including
Administration 503, 504, 59 1 , and 592, together with 24 credit hours of approved
electives. Each student is required to complete at least one area of concentration
consisting of no fewer than 1 2 hours of elective courses. No credit hour may be
counted toward more than one concentration; no more than two concentrations
may be declared. With the assistance of an adviser, each student selects courses to
meet the student's goals and objectives. Most courses will be in administrative
science or accounting, but they may also include graduate or upper level offerings
in other departments. Concentrations are available in accounting, business entre-
preneurship, finance, international management, management information sys-
tems, marketing, and public and nonprofit management. Students concentrating
in operations research may supplement the school's offerings with courses from
the departments of mathematical sciences, economics, and statistics. Any other
concentration requires a petition to the associate dean for admissions and student
affairs.
The international management program offers a set of elective courses in the
political, economic, and legal aspects of multinational activities. Students must
take Administration 572 and 573. Students may take related courses in other
departments. The international management program is particularly relevant for
students with a strong background in foreign languages and cultures. Students
lacking such a background are strongly advised to take additional time (including
summers and possibly a third year) to acquire such skills. Language training does
not qualify for graduate credit toward the M.B.A. degree.
The Jones Graduate School offers an area of concentration in public and
nonprofit management. Students who wish to prepare for government or nonprofit
service select, with the assistance of an adviser, a set of elective courses tailored to
meet the student's career aims. Students may take related courses in other depart-
ments. The M.B.A. core curriculum is specifically designed to promote the transfer
of management skills from the private to the public and nonprofit sectors. Students
interested in business entrepreneurship may take no more than two of Administra-
tion 52 1 , 522, or 525 and will take other related courses.
Master of Accounting (M.Acco.) The Master of Accounting program prepares
students for professional positions in public accounting as well as for a variety of
senior financial positions in business and government.
Rice undergraduates may complete the Master of Accounting program in one
year of graduate study if they have taken the following prerequisite courses by the
end of their senior year: Accounting 305, 406, and 411; Economics 21 1 and 212;
ACCOUNTING AND ADMINISTRATIVE SCIENCE 1 53
Economics 370 or 372; Mathematical Sciences 376; either Statistics 280, Econom-
ics 350, or Psychology 339; and Political Science 309 and 310. Additional recom-
mended, but not required, courses are Statistics 38 1 and 480; Economics 375 and
448; and Psychology 1 0 1 and 23 1 . No specific undergraduate major is required for
entrance into the program.
The Master of Accounting degree program requires a minimum of 33 semester
hours, including the following courses: Accounting 503, 512, 514, 524, 526, 531,
and 541; and Administration 501, 502, and 511. Completion of the program
qualifies the student to take the Uniform CPA Examination. Texas requires the
completion of 20 semester hours in accounting in order to file for the CPA
examination. To become a licensed CPA, one must have completed 30 semester
hours of accounting, passed the CPA examination, and either have a master's
degree and one year of accounting work experience or a bachelor's degree and two
years of experience.
Rice graduates and graduates from other universities, who have not satisfied
the prerequisite courses, may require two years (at least 62 semester hours) to
complete the program.
All courses must be approved by the Jones Graduate School. Required courses
may be waived in exceptional cases where the student already has the equivalent
preparation. Waivers, exemptions, or transfers of credit are solely the decision of
the school. The residence requirement is not necessarily reduced, but additional
elective courses are made available. Requirements are stated annually for each
entering class.
Doctor of Philosophy in Accounting. The Ph.D. program prepares candidates
for teaching and research careers in accounting. The program, which emphasizes
research, normally requires a minimum of three years of full-time residence work
(two years of course work and one year of dissertation research and writing). A
bachelor's degree is required for entry.
After a year of course work, a doctoral student must satisfactorily complete a

Lecturers Benjamin, Dunne, Eaker
Degree Offered: B.K. > -■
Ancient Mediterranean Civilization is an interdisciplinary major that ex-
plores the cultural traditions of ancient Greece and Rome, Judaism, early Christi-
anity, and their antecedents. We study these traditions not only for their intrinsic
interest and value, but because of their contribution to modern society in the West.
Thus as well as providing instruction in ancient cultural history in its widest sense,
the major offers perspectives in cultural criticism, for it examines the beginnings of
a civilization in which we, the examiners, still participate. To achieve a balanced
interdisciplinary approach the major is planned around a series of courses in
Anthropology, Art History, Classics, History, Philosophy, and Religious Studies.
The major as well provides opportunities for archeological field work and study
abroad.
Rice is a sponsor of the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome,
managed by Stanford University. Students in the major are encouraged to study in
this program.
Requirements: A student majoring in Ancient Mediterranean Civilization
must complete a minimum of 36 semester hours. These must include History 20 1 ,
one year of an ancient language, and one course each in ancient Philosophy,
Religious Studies, and Art History. Students may fulfill the language requirement
by examination. All prospective programs for individuals majoring in Ancient
Mediterranean Civilization are to be drawn up in consultation with a member of
the staff
As a second major: In consultation with the staff a maximum of six semester
hours (two courses) outside of the Ancient Mediterranean Civilization Major but
related to the student's plan of study may be substituted for an equivalent number
of hours/courses in the major.

Undergraduate Program: Anthropology is a discipline that encompasses many
subjects of study, all related to understanding human beings and their cultures. A
student may organize a major in one or more of anthropology's principal fields or
may combine a major in anthropology with one in another discipline. Students
majoring in anthropology are required to take a total of 30 semester hours in
anthropology (ten semester courses). Majors must devise a plan of study in
consultation with a faculty adviser. Although there are no required courses,
students will be encouraged to gain exposure to all of the principal fields within
anthropology (archaeology; biological, cultural, and linguistic anthropology). On
declaring a major in anthropology, a student should meet with the departmental
undergraduate adviser in order to tailor a major plan in line with the student's
interests. This plan can be modified at any time with the approval of the adviser.
ANTHROPOLOGY 165
With departmental approval, a maximum of 6 semester hours (two courses)
outside of anthropology but related to the student's plan of study may be substitut-
ed for hours/courses in anthropology. Majors who plan to pursue graduate training
toward a career in anthropology will need a reading knowledge of one or two
European languages and are urged to enroll in undergraduate language courses.
These majors are also urged to apply for admission to the honors program.
Honors Program. The primary purpose of the Honors Program is to provide
selected undergraduate majors with an opportunity to receive advanced training,
particularly in the planning and execution of independent research, within their
chosen areas of specialization in anthropology. A secondary purpose of the pro-
gram is to establish an administrative framework for the formal recognition of
outstanding students. Majors considering a career in anthropology are strongly
encouraged to apply, as are all others who desire the experience of an intensive,
individual research project as part of their undergraduate education.
Acceptance into the program is at the discretion of the anthropology faculty. A
statement of eligibility requirements and program requirements is available in the
departmental office.
Behavioral Science Major. The major in behavioral science centers on a
nucleus of courses in anthropology, psychology, and sociology. The student ordi-
narily, but not necessarily, emphasizes one of these three fields.
Students majoring in behavioral science are required to take a minimum of 30
semester hours (ten semester courses) in anthropology, psychology, or sociology, of
which 24 hours (eight courses) must be courses numbered 300 or higher. A
minimum of 6 semester hours (two courses) in each of the three fields of anthropol-
ogy, psychology, and sociology is required. With the approval of the major adviser,
a maximum of six semester hours (two courses) in courses numbered 300 or higher
in related fields outside the core fields may be included in the major. Six semester
hours (two courses) at the 200 level may be substituted for advanced courses if they
are in a field of the major in which no courses have been taken previously. Students
are encouraged to plan in consultation with the program adviser an independent
study course (to be taken in the fall of their senior year) that integrates the varying
perspectives of anthropology, psychology, and sociology.
Graduate Program. The graduate program offers advanced training in social/
cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, and archaeology, leading to a
Ph.D. in anthropology. The M.A. is optionally offered upon approval of candidacy
for the Ph.D. The M.A. as a terminal degree requires satisfactory completion of 30
semester hours of course work approved by an adviser, satisfactory completion of
one of the special papers (see uniform requirements for the Ph.D.), and a thesis.
Although there are uniform requirements for the Ph.D. degree, each field of
specialization offers different opportunities for training and different topical
research orientations reflecting the interests of the faculty. Consequently, the
Department seeks applicants with a defined interest in one of the broad fields of
specialization within anthropology. An undergraduate background in anthropolo-
gy is desirable but not required for admission. In consultation with a major adviser
and two other faculty members, each entering student is expected to design a
flexible study plan that emphasizes broad training in a field of specialization and
the eventual definition of a problem for dissertation research. All first-year stu-
dents can usually be offered some form of support, ranging from full graduate
fellowships, which provide tuition plus a stipend, to tuition scholarships only.
When possible, these awards are renewed for the second year of study.
166 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
Specialization in Social/Cultural Anthropology. The faculty is eclectic in its
interests, and the program offers exposure to styles of argument and reasoning
across the range of contemporary theoretical issues in social/cultural anthropolo-
gy. We emphasize the reading of primary sources of theory, which have inspired
the discussion and definition of central problems within anthropology. In addi-
tion, as essential preparation for doctoral research, explicit attention in instruction
is paid both to field work and to skills in the conception and writing of
ethnography.
Specialization in Biological Anthropology. Training in biological anthropolo-
gy emphasizes biomedical issues, including nutrition, growth and development,
human adaptation, human genetics, and public health. Students may take advan-
tage of the extensive resources of the Houston Medical Center through ties
established with the University of Texas School of Public Health and Graduate
School of Biomedical Sciences. In addition to work at Rice, degree credit may be
given for both formal courses offered at the Schools of Public Health and Biomedi-
cal Sciences and independent study, tutorials, and research with adjunct faculty at
these institutions.
Specialization in Archaeology. Training emphasizes research skills in the
library, field, and laboratory, to be tested by means of the three required research
papers, at least one of which must be an original data paper. In addition to research
on the dissertation topic, all students are encouraged to develop at least one
analytical skill — such as remote sensing, archaeological statistics, osteology,
geomorphology, and pedology — making use of the excellent laboratory and
computer facilities at Rice.
Uniform Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Each entering
student will devise a detailed first year plan of study and provisional plans for
succeeding years in consultation with his or her advisers. Seminars and tutorials
can be arranged on any topic relevant to a student's training, and where appropri-
ate, these can be conducted in supervisory consultation with scholars in other
disciplines at Rice as well as with adjunct faculty. During the first two years of
study, each student will prepare three substantial papers, each emphasizing an
analytical, research, and writing skill appropriate to the field of specialization. The
subjects of the papers and their scheduling are major considerations in the ongoing
consultations between students and their advisers. During the course of study,
each student must demonstrate reading competency in one foreign language.
Before advancing to Ph.D. candidacy, a student must prepare a satisfactory
proposal for dissertation research. Following approval of the research proposal, a
dissertation committee is appointed. Dissertations are ordinarily based in sub-
stantial part upon field research.

The School of Architecture seeks to contribute through teaching and research
to a more humane environment. Its primary educational missions are teaching and
research, development of a broad liberal education for undergraduates in the allied
sciences and arts of architecture, and professional education at the graduate and
postgraduate level in architecture and urban design.
These programs are offered in the setting of a small school to provide intimate
student-faculty interaction, freedom for learning, and unrestricted institutional
cooperation within and outside the University.
SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE 177
Degrees Offered. Five degrees are offered: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of
Architecture, Master of Architecture, Master of Architecture in Urban Design,
and Doctor of Architecture. The Bachelor of Arts, a liberal arts degree, may
emphasize a major in either architecture or architectural studies; the two programs
are described below. The B.A. is awarded after successful completion of the first
four years of study. The Bachelor of Architecture is available to recipients of the
B.A. degree from Rice and requires two additional years of work, one of which is an
in-service preceptorship in a professional office.
The master's degrees are awarded after successful completion of a minimum
of two years of study beyond the B.A., depending upon previous undergraduate
and professional studies. Recipients of the B.A. degree from Rice normally under-
take a minimum of three semesters of further work for one of the Master of
Architecture degrees. Approval of Rice students for admission to either bachelor's
or master's programs is contingent upon evaluation of the student's undergraduate
academic record at the conclusion of the fourth year of study. The Master of
Architecture is an accredited first professional degree, whereas the Master of
Architecture in Urban Design requires prior or concurrent completion of accredit-
ed bachelor's or master's degrees.
Undergraduate Program. For both the B.A. and the B.Arch. degrees, the first
two years center upon a carefully integrated study of the principles of architecture.
In the third and fourth years, students are encouraged to develop their own
interests through more specialized study of particular aspects of the field in studio,
seminar, and lecture courses.
Below is a suggested course of study for either the B.A. or the B.Arch. degree.
The order in which courses are taken is optional, subject to the following excep-
tions: (1) health and physical education must be taken in the first year, and (2)
failure to take prerequisite courses in the earlier years may result in later schedul-
ing problems.

distribution requirements p/w5 78 semesterhours credit of electives for a
total of 1 3 1 semester hours credit that complete university distribution
requirements.
3. For a Bachelor of Architecture degree the requirements are: completion of
a B.A. degree with a major in architecture (see 1 above); completion of a
two-semester Preceptorship (30 semester hours credit); and completion
of two studios and four lecture-seminar courses (32 semester hours
credit).
B.A. students have two options in their choice of a preprofessional major
during the third and fourth years:
1 . The architecture major requires two years of advanced studio courses and
additional professional group requirements that permit reasonable elec-
tive freedom. This curriculum serves the needs of students who anticipate
professional studies at an advanced level and who wish to have the
alternatives of doing so through either the Bachelor of Architecture at
Rice or various first professional master's degrees at Rice or other
institutions.
2. The architectural studies major requires two years of advanced work
combining architectural studies with other fields. It is focused on an
approved, preprofessional theme for interdisciplinary studies chosen by
the individual and approved by an adviser. Application to this program
must be made during the second year of studies. Reduced architectural
course requirements encourage the pursuit of a double major with anoth-
er department. This curriculum can be regarded as the equivalent of a
liberal arts education, but it also offers opportunity to prepare for a wide
variety of graduate studies and career options in different design and
planning related fields at Rice or other institutions. This program pro-
vides opportunity to pursue architectural or urban design master's degree
programs at Rice by entering through the Qualifying Graduate Program,
but it does not include the option of a Rice Bachelor of Architecture.
Upon satisfactory completion of the B.A. degree with either above major,
students may apply during the senior year for admission to the appropriate
advanced professional degree programs.
1 80 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
Auxiliary services at Rice span the gap between school and practice: the
preceptorship program, the visiting lecturer series, and the visiting critic series.
The preceptorship program is designed to bridge classroom studio learning and
professional practice. Qualified students who have been admitted to the profes-
sional degree programs work for an entire year with outstanding architects
throughout the world who are designated by the school as preceptors. The timing of
preceptorship service varies according to the level of design and technical profi-
ciency reached during the B.A. program. For those admitted to the Bachelor of
Architecture, the preceptorship occurs immediately on the receipt of the B.A.
Notes
1. History of Art 205, 206 are required in the first two years and will be
scheduled where history of art electives are noted. History of Art 345, 346
are required for a major in architecture.
2. Electives must satisfy School of Architecture distribution requirements in
addition to general University requirements.
3. Studio courses (Architecture 201, 202; 301, 302; and 401, 402) which!
carry six semester hours each semester in the sophomore, junior, and
senior years count toward graduation as the equivalent of one course per
semester in the sophomore year and as two courses per semester in the
junior and senior years.
4. Students contemplating later specialization in the fields of structural or
environmental engineering are advised to take Mathematics 101, 1 02 and,
Physics 101, 102 and 132.
Graduate Programs. The School of Architecture offers the degrees of Master of
Architecture and Master of Architecture in Urban Design. Within the two degree
programs, varied areas of interest are open to students.
\n advanced building design curriculum is the basis for the Master of Archi-
tecture degree program. This program is designed to provide the student an|
individual course of study with a wide choice of special project, research, andi
internship opportunities both within and outside the School of Architecture. j
The first year of the urban design curriculum is composed of studio and
lecture courses. The second year allows a student choice and specialization in the
areas of interest listed above.
( iraduate studies are open to candidates who hold the degree of Bachelor ot
Architecture, Bachelor of Arts with a major in architecture, or Bachelor of Arts in
other disciplines. Candidates with a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in
architecture are normally expected to complete four academic semestersplus one
semester of clinical education, which may occur in the intervening summer.
Students without sufficient architectural background are expected to complete a
program of special studies before admission to one of the graduate options. This
program takes a minimum of two semesters, depending on the individual's prepa-
ration, and stresses histon', theory, technology, and design techniques.
Students not possessing a prior first professional degree and completing the*
urban design program requirements receive a Master of Architecture degree with a
certificate in urban design.
For students having a bachelor's degree with no architectural background, the
Qualifying Graduate Program is offered. This is normally a seven-semester pro-
gram leading to the Master of Architecture degree. The first four semesters consist
SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE 181
)f special studio offerings plus selected seminar and lecture courses. The last three
emesters are spent in the regular graduate programs.
All candidates for a master's degree must complete a written thesis or a design
hesis.
Doctor of Architecture. Admission to the Doctor of Architecture program
equires a master's degree in architecture. A student entering with a masters
legree normally takes one and one-half years of course work before the qualifying
;xamination. Candidates should be prepared for advanced analytic and creative
vork in their specialized field. Such preparation may include foreign languages,
tatistics, or a computer language. This requirement is established individually
vhen the student is admitted.
After successful completion of all required course work plus the language
;xamination or equivalent, students may apply for the qualifying examination. At
his time, students must submit an outline of their research program for the
ioctoral dissertation. This dissertation must represent an original contribution to
aiowledge in the field of architecture. The completion of the dissertation and the
)assing of the final oral examination required for the doctorate in architecture take
I minimum of one year. ,., .

The Department of Art and Art History offers courses in three distinct
disciplines: the history of art, studio art (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.), and
film and photography. Majors may elect to concentrate their study in any of these
areas of specialization.
Undergraduate Program. A minimum of 38 semester hours is required for the
full major, including at least 1 1 semester hours in the history of art and nine
semester hours selected from studio, film, or photography. Double majors must
take a minimum of 32 semester hours, including at least three courses in both the
creative arts and the history of art. All majors must complete the two semesters of
the introductory survey. History of Art 205 and 206. For all majors at least 50
percent of the required number of courses must be at the 300- or 400-level, of
which more than 50 percent must be taken at Rice.
In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students must
also satisfy all the University requirements for the B.A. degree. See Degree
Requirements and Majors, pages 63-84.
A reading knowledge of French, German, or Italian is strongly recommended
for all majors, especially those who intend to take 300- or 400-level courses in the
history of art.
Students interested in further guidance in planning the Bachelor of Arts
degree with a major in art and art history should consult departmental faculty
advisers.
Bachelor of Fine Arts Program. The Bachelor of Fine Arts program consists of
a fifth year of intensive study in the creative arts to be taken after a student has
obtained a B.A. degree in art at Rice or its equivalent at another university.
Candidates possessing a B.A. degree with a major in a field other than art may in
exceptional cases be admitted to the program. Special fifth-year courses are
available to the B.F.A. candidate only, in addition to advanced courses normally
offered by the department. Satisfactory completion of a total of 30 semester hours
in approved courses or the equivalent in approved major electives at the 300-,
400-, or 500-level is required for the B.F.A. degree.
Admission to the program is determined by the Committee on Examinations
and Standing on recommendation of the Bachelor of Fine Arts Committee in the
1 90 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
Department. For further information about application forms, deadlines, admis-
sion standards, and the like, write to the chairman of the Department of Art and
Art History.
Graduate Program. Qualified students are eligible to apply for the graduate
program leading to a degree of Master of Arts in art history with an option in
classical archaeology. Areas of concentration in art history are those in the western
tradition of European and American Art. Graduate work is also possible in Asian
Studies.
Graduate fellowships and scholarships are awarded on the basis of scholarly
achievement and available funds. Fellowships consist of a stipend and a waiver of
tuition; scholarships provide only a waiver of tuition. Graduate students as part of
their training may be expected to render some service as research assistants,
tutorial instructors, or curatorial assistants in the Sewall Art Gallery.
Entering students must pass a reading examination in either French or Ger-
man. In classical archaeology, students must pass a reading examination in one of
the following languages: French, German, Italian, Greek, or Latin. Other lan-
guages may be required depending on the course of studies chosen by the student.
Upon entrance, students may be required to take an examination to be used as a
guide in determining their programs.
Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts:
1 . Complete with high standing a minimum of 30 hours of graduate course
work to include a 3-hour course in art historical concepts, history, and
methods of research; a 9-hour thesis in the second year; and 18 hours of
lecture, seminar , and reading courses. For students in classical archaeolo-
gy, 6 hours must be in archaeological field experience applied to specific
research in addition to the above requirements.
2. Pass satisfactorily a comprehensive examination in the second year.
Sewall Art Gallery
Stella Dobbins, Director
Sewall Art Gallery, located on the main floor of Sewall Hall, functions as an
extension of the teaching activities in the Department of Art and Art History, but is
also oriented to the larger university and Houston community. The gallery actively
collects art works which are used for instruction, research, loan, and exhibitions.
Four to six exhibitions are mounted during the academic year, focusing on
historical and contemporary presentations of painting, sculpture, and graphic,
video, and performance arts. The gallery is staffed by a professional coordinator
and students, who gain experience in museum registration methods, exhibition
techniques, and other aspects of museum work. Junior, senior, or graduate stu-
dents interested in museum experience may also apply for the Museum Internship,
offered in cooperation with local museums (see History of Art 496).

tionary' Biology offer a broad range of courses in the biosciences: biophysics,
biochemisiry. ecology, evolutionary biology, plant and animal biology, moleculai
biology, cell biology, genetics, developmental biology, neurobiology, and ad-
vanced courses in these and related areas. B.A. students may elect a major in
biology or biochemistry and select courses from this range of topics.
Undergraduate Program. The biological science departments at Rice Univer-
sity have been reorganized, and the curriculum will be integrated and courses
offered as Biosciences (BIOS) as of Fall. 1990. Students entering Fall 1989 will
enter under the new integrated curriculum and will follow the course plan indicat-
ed below.
Students entering prior to Fall 1 989 may elect to follow this new course plan,
but otherwise are bound to the program previously in effect (see below).
Biochemistrv Undergraduate Program for entry prior to Fall
1989

advanced chemistr}', biology, or biochemistry (300-level or above). For
double majors, part of the requirement for six hours of advanced bio-
chemistry may be satisfied by 300-level or above science courses in their
other major. However, waiver of this requirement must be obtained in
writing from the undergraduate advisor and the Chair of the Biochemis-
tr>' Department.
An undergraduate major in biochemistrv must have 48 semester hours in
courses numbered 300 or higher to obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree.
In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students must

pursue independent supervised research in Biochemistry 40 1 and 402. Concurrent
registration in Biochemistry 41 1 and a thesis are required.
Biology Undergraduate Program for entry prior to Fall 1989
Undergraduate biology majors are required to take eight semester hours in
introductory mathematics (Mathematics 101, 102 or 121, 122), seven semester

semester hours, plus 60 semester hours beyond the biology requirements.
Students interested in research should contact the departmental undergradu-
ate advisor prior to enrolling in Biology 401 and 405. Students may, under
exceptional circumstances, receive credit for research done outside of Rice only if
they have received in advance the authorization of the departmental undergraduate
advisor. They should enroll in Biology 403. Either Biology 401 or 403 may be taken
(but not both), and no more than four semester hours may be applied to the
requirements for a biology major.
Students interested in laboratory teaching should contact the laboratory
instructor prior to enrolling in Biology 402.
Students interested in taking a graduate (500-level) course must obtain the
consent of the instructor prior to enrollment.
Either Biology 402 or a 500-level course may be taken (but not both), and no
more than four semester hours may be applied to the requirements for a biology
■ major.
Premedical. Premedical students who are not majoring in biology are advised
I to take the following courses: Biology 201, 202, 203, and 360. They may wish to
take Biology 122 for review purposes.
Biology courses required for distribution requirements. Biology 122 (Funda-
I mental Concepts of Biology) is designed for nonmajors and thus cannot be used for
biology credit toward a biology major.
Biology 201 and 202 (Introductor>' Biology) does not require a prerequisite.
Biology 3 1 1 (Animal Behavior and Evolution) is recommended to students in the
social sciences. Biology 350 (Plant Biology) is normally offered every other year.

Graduate Program in Biochemistry and Cell Biology
Admission to graduate study in the Department of Biochemistry and Cell
Biology requires: ( 1 ) a bachelor's degree in biochemistry, biology, chemistry, or the
equivalent; and (2) demonstrated quality and motivation as indicated by the
student's previous academic record, Graduate Record Examination scores, and
recommendation letters. Although the Department offers an M.A. degree, only on
rare occasions will a student who does not intend to pursue the Ph.D. degree be
admitted to the graduate program. Both degree programs require the submission
of a thesis based on original research work. The advanced degree requirements
outlined below are those established by the Department of Biochemistry and Cell
Biology and are above and beyond the general requirements of Rice University for
the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. The student should be familiar with the general
University regulations and policies for graduate students (listed on pages 1 36-
1 39). For further information, interested applicants should contact the Depart-
ment Chair.
A. Doctor of Philosophy Degree Program in Biochemistry and Cell Biology.
Most of the formal course studies will be completed in the first year of residence so
that the student will commence thesis research at the end of the second semester of
residence. The course program to be pursued during the first year of residence will
be determined by the biochemistry and cell biology graduate student advisor\'
committee in consultation with each student. All students are expected to com-
plete the following courses, unless equivalent educational experience has been
obtained previously: Biochemistry 50 1 , 502, 517,561, 566, 572, 575, 583, and 584
(a minimum of 26 hours). Biosciences 301, 302, 31 1-318, 344, 352, 575, 583, 584
(minimum of 26 hours) will be the requirements beginning Fall 1 990. Students will
be responsible for the content of these courses in their Admission to Candidacy
Examination (see below). Students may also be required to take courses in other
fields which are fundamental to their education in biochemistry and cell biology.
These requirements will be determined by the graduate advisory committee. Most,
if not all, students will pursue advanced studies in chemistry and biology. Correc-
tion of any deficiencies in physical chemistry or organic chemistry must be
completed within the first year of residence. Once the student selects a thesis
advisor, the individual faculty advisor may require additional course work of a
more specialized nature. All such additional courses must be completed prior to
the Admission to Candidacy Examination.
Students will gain experience in teaching by serving as discussion leaders in
sections of undergraduate courses for one semester during their second year of
residence and by serving as graders throughout this year.
BIOSCIENCES 209
Six procedures are used in the evaluation of a graduate student's progress. ( 1 )
At the completion of the first two semesters in residence, each student's course
record, motivation, and general competence will be reviewed at a meeting of the
entire faculty. A graduate student m biochemistry and cell biology is required to
maintain at least a B average to contmue m the program. (2) Continual review of
research progress will be made by the thesis advisor. (3) A written and oral research
progress review examination will be held each year by three members of the
student's Progress Review Committee which excludes his or her thesis advisor. (4)
All students are required to present a research seminar at least once a year until
they have submitted a completed doctoral thesis. (5) An oral Admission to Candi-
dacy Examination shall be completed prior to the beginning of the student's sixth
semester of residence. (6) The final written Ph.D. thesis will be reviewed by the
student's thesis committee and defended orally in a public seminar. A detailed
description of these examinations and reviews can be obtained from the Depart-
mental office.
B. Master of Arts Degree Program in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. The
formal course requirements for a candidate for the Master of Arts degree will be
determined by the graduate advisory committee. As in the case of Ph.D. candi-
dates, all students will be expected to complete the following courses, unless
equivalent educational experience has been obtained previously: Biochemistry
'501, 502, 517, 561, 566, 572, 575, 583, and 584 ( a minimum of 26 hours).
Biosciences 301, 302, 311-318, 344, 352, 575, 583, 584 (26 hours) will be the
requirements beginning Fall 1 990. In addition to these courses, students will be
required to take courses in other fields which are fundamental to their education in
biochemistry and cell biology or which are required for the pursuit of the student's
thesis research. Students must achieve an overall average of B in the formal courses
offered by the Department to be a candidate for the M.A. degree. The student's
overall performance will be evaluated by the faculty as a whole after the second
semester in residence.
One progress review session will be held for M.A. students during their second
full year of residence. This research review session will be identical in format to
that for the Ph.D. students but, in the case of M.A. students, replaces the admission
to candidacy examination since no other preliminary examination will be held
prior to the final oral defense of the Master's thesis. Master of Arts degree
candidates are required to submit a formal written thesis. The final examination
will consist of a public oral presentation of the research work to the thesis
committee members followed by a question and answer session.
Graduate Program in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
The graduate program is open to qualified applicants who hold a bachelor's
degree or equivalent. Prospective graduate students must take the Graduate
Record Examination, including the advanced examination in biology. The enter-
ing student generally is expected to have a strong background in biology; in
addition, completion of courses in physics (one year), mathematics (including
calculus), chemistry (including organic), and biochemistry is required. The above
requirements do not preclude admission of qualified applicants who have majored
in areas other than biology. Any deficiencies should be made up no later than the
first year of residence in graduate study, including the first summer. It is strongly
210 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
recommended that deficiencies be made up during the summer preceding the first
semester of residence. An examination is administered during the first year.
Students entering with the master's degree are normally exempt from this
examination.
Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts. The degree of Master of Arts
may be obtained after the completion of 30 semester hours of graduate study, six
hours of which must be earned by the completion and public defense of a thesis
embodying the results of an original investigation.
Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. In addition to the
general University requirements for advanced degrees (pages 130, 136-139), the
following departmental requirements must also be met.
1 . Three or more years of graduate study with at least two years in residence
at Rice
2. An original investigation worthy of publication in a scientific journal and
a doctoral thesis as described in the General Announcements
■■- 3. A grade average of "B" or better in courses taken in the department and
satisfactory grades in courses taken outside the department
4. Satisfactory performance in Biology 503 for at least three semesters
5. Satisfactory performance on a candidacy examination administered by
the advisory committee; this examination may be oral and/or written
6. Public defense of the thesis
7. Presentation of a departmental seminar on the candidate's research
Fellowships. A limited number of graduate fellowships are available on a
competitive basis.

Lewis, Margrave, Parry, Sass, Schroepfer, Smalley, and L. J. Wilson
Adjunct Professor Willcott
Associate Professors Hutchinson, Weisman and Whitmire
Assistant Professors Burgess, Ciufolini, D'Evelyn, Hwu, and Scuseria
Degrees Offered: B.A., M.A., Ph.D.
Undergraduate Program. Undergraduates electing chemistry as a major are
expected to take the following courses in their first year: Mathematics 1 0 1 , 1 02 (or
equivalent honors courses); Physics 101, 102 and 132; Chemistry 101, 102, and,
1 05. In general, students take Chemistry 211,212,213,214 and Mathematics 211,
212 (or equivalents) in the sophomore year. Physics 201 and 202, although not
required, are recommended. The Department further requires satisfactory com-
pletion of the following courses:

Chemistry 401 and 403
Chemistry 491, 492 or 493 (at least three semester hours)
Chemistry 460 or 495
Two additional courses in advanced chemistry, physics, mathematics, mathe-
matical sciences, or biochemistry. Students may substitute further undergrad-
uate research (Chemistry 49 1 , 492, 493) for one or two semesters of classroom
instruction.
In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students must
also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 60 semester
hours outside the departmental requirements for a total program of at least 126
semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 63-84.
American Chemical Society Certification. The Rice Department of Chemistry '
is on the approved list of the Committee on Professional Training of the American
Chemical Society and as such can certify that graduates have met the appropriate ,
standards. For certification, two additional advanced courses are required. Chem-
istry 460 and 495 are both required; one can be counted as an advanced course. A
foreign language, preferably German, is recommended.
Accelerated Ph.D. Plan. Because of the high level of training provided in the
Rice B.A. program, it is possible for certain especially qualified undergraduate
students to be admitted to an accelerated program that could lead to the Ph.D. I
degree in about two years after completion of the B.A. program. In order to \
CHEMISTRY 221
complete the work in this time, the student initiates research during the summer
followmg the junior year and continues research by taking Chemistry 491. 492
during the senior year. The student may start taking cumulative examinations
during the senior year and should be able to complete all courses and examinations
before the end of the second year after the B.A. The student may, in favorable
cases, be able to complete the thesis in this time as well.
Interdepartmental Majors. An interdepartmental major in chemical physics is
offered jointly with the Physics Department. Advice about this program should be
obtained from both departments. Double majors with several other departments,
such as biochemistry, materials science, physics, and mathematics have also been
used since the programs have many required courses in common.
Graduate Program. Students who have completed work equivalent to that
required for the bachelor's degree in chemistry offered at Rice University may be
admitted to graduate standing. Preference is normally given to applicants who
earn high scores on the Graduate Record Examination, including the advanced
test in chemistry (see page 1 36). A minimum of two years of graduate study is
required for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. A nominal amount of undergrad-
uate teaching is normally considered an integral part of the graduate program.
Candidates for the degree of Master of Arts are required to complete six one-
semester courses, present in a thesis the results of a program of research approved
by the department, and pass a final oral examination: alternatively, admission to
candidacy for the Ph.D. completes all of the requirements for the Master of Arts.
Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy must complete for publica-
tion a thesis which represents a distinctly original and significant contribution to
the field of chemistry. Candidates must further have acquired through course work
and independent study a broad fundamental knowledge of chemistry in addition
to those areas of the subject encompassed by their own research interests. Cumula-
tive examinations for the Ph.D. degree are given periodically, and a final oral
examination on the thesis is required for all candidates.

Degrees Offered: B.A. in Classics (Greek and Latin), B.A. in Latin.
Undergraduate Program. The program in Classics offers instruction in the
languages, literature, history, and culture of ancient Greece and Rome. We offer
two types of major: Classics, which entails the study of both ancient Greek and
Latin, and Latin. Both majors stress the study of the literature of the classical
civilizations in the original languages. The student who chooses one of these two
majors will learn that the study of ancient Greek and Latin is a demanding, but
rewarding discipline. Both majors can also be pursued as part of a double major, in
which case the requirements are slightly reduced. For our majors we advise, and
will try to facilitate, travel to Greece or Italy and experience on a dig or study at the
CLASSICS 225
ntercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome. Rice is now a supporting
■nember of the Intercollegiate Center.
Each year we also offer courses about various aspects of the classical civiliza-
ions using English translations. These courses are organized below under the
•ubric 'Classical Studies'. All courses offered in the Classics program count to-
vards the interdisciplinary major entitled Ancient Mediterranean Civilization.
A major in Classics is essential preparation for graduate study in Classics,
incient history, ancient philosophy, ancient religion (especially early Christian-
ty), and ancient art history. Knowledge of Greek and Latin is useful for graduate
;tudy in English, the Romance languages, German, the Slavic languages, theology,
uropean history, and linguistics. A Secondary Teaching Certificate in conjunc-
ion with a B.A. in Latin or Classics is available through the department of
Education. Students seeking a Secondary Teaching Certificate may also offer
^tin as one of their teaching fields without majoring in Latin. The program in
Classics is formally administered as part of the department of Spanish, Portu-
;uese, and Classics. Students interested in majoring in Classics or finding out more
ibout the program should see Professor Yunis.
Requirements for the Major. Students may choose a major in either Classics
Greek and Latin) or Latin.
For the major in Classics, the student must take 27 semester hours (9 courses):
1 . 21 semester hours ( 7 courses) in Greek and Latin at the 200 level or above
including at least 6 semester hours (2 courses) in each language.
2. 3 semester hours ( 1 course) at the 300 level in Classical Studies or one of
the following fields from outside the Classics program: Greek and Roman
history, philosophy, art or religion.
3. Latin 493 in the spring semester of the senior year, in order to prepare for
and then take the comprehensive examination in the 9th week of the
semester. Latin 493 is to be taken in addition to the 21 semester hours
required above.
For the major in Latin, the student must take 24 semester hours (8 courses):
1 . 18 semester hours (6 courses) in Latin at the 200 level or above.
2. 3 semester hours ( 1 course) at the 300 level in Classical Studies or one of
the following fields from outside the Classics program: Greek and Roman
history, philosophy, art or religion.
3. Latin 493 in the spring semester of the senior year, in order to prepare for
and then take the comprehensive examination in the 9th week of the
semester. Latin 493 is to be taken in addition to the 18 semester hours
required above.
For Classics (Greek and Latin) or Latin as part of a double major, the student
lust take 21 semester hours (7 courses):
1 . 15 semester hours (5 courses) in Greek and Latin at the 200 level or above.
The double major in Classics must include at least 6 semester hours (2
courses) in each language.
2. 3 semester hours ( 1 course) at the 300 level in Classical Studies or one of
the following fields from outside the Classics program: Greek and Roman
history, philosophy, art or religion.
3. Latin 493 in the spring semester of the senior year, in order to prepare for
and then take the comprehensive examination in the 9th week of the
semester. Latin 493 is to be taken in addition to the 15 semester hours

I The Cognitive Sciences are concerned with how the mind works. The word
ognitive refers to perceiving and knowing. Thus cognitive science is the science of
nind. Cognitive scientists seek to understand perceiving, thinking, remembering,
mderstanding language, learning, concept formation, and other mental phenome-
la. This field of study constitutes, under a new name and aided by new technolo-
;ies, a restoration of lines of study that were pursued before a restructuring of
miversities in the eighteenth century broke it up into separate disciplines. As a
esult of that dismemberment, Cognitive Science is now treated as an interdiscipli-
»ary field.
Research in cognitive science ranges from observing children, through pro-
;ramming computers to do complex problem solving, to analyzing the nature of
neaning. The methods include scientific observation and analysis, model build-
ng, experimentation, and computer simulation of mental structures and
>rocesses.
Some students see cognitive science as a way to study the last frontier, the
nind. Some see it as a way to get in on the ground floor of the information society.
Jome see it as a way to get useful experience with computers.
Suggested preparation for the major: Computer Science 200; Psychology 101;
'hilosophy 106 or mathematical maturity; and calculus or probability theory.
Requirements: A student majoring in Cognitive Sciences must complete
welve 3-hour or 4-hour courses plus Cognitive Sciences 49 1 , a 1 -hour course to be
aken in the fall term of the senior year. The twelve courses include eight core
curses as follows:
Cognitive Sciences 492, Cognitive Sciences Seminar (spring term of senior
year);
Computer Science 210, Introduction to Scientific Computation (4 hours);
Computer Science 440, Artificial Intelligence,
or Electrical Engineering 437, Introduction to Artificial Intelligence;

Teacher Education and Certification. Rice University seeks to contribute
graduates to society able to think and to question, educated to comprehend and to
cope with a rapidly changing world. Although professional instruction is not the
primary ingredient of undergraduate education, the University's role in preparing
students for their future life work cannot be ignored. While maintaining complete
institutional integrity, Rice University supports the intention as well as the letter
of regulations promulgated by the state governing the development and presenta-
tion of teacher preparation and certification programs.
To this end, the Rice University Department of Education closely cooperates
with departments offering work in subject matter fields. It is the function of this
department to provide rigorous professional courses and to administer the estab-
lished teacher education programs.
The Rice University teacher education program strives to fit the prospective
teacher to perform all the roles which may be expected of a teacher. To accomplish
this objective, it gives sustained close attention to the following vitally interrelated
components:
1 . A sound liberal or general education.
2. An extended knowledge of the subject(s) or area(s) to be taught.
3. Professional knowledge (i.e., relevant historical, philosophical, social,
and psychological material).
4. Skills in classroom teaching, in working with children and adults, and in
supervising the learning process.
242 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION

Educ 311, 312, 409, 3 semester hours in Seminar in Teaching (e.g., 304
and 404, 304 and 402, only 410, only 416), and 6 hours in student
teaching (Principles of Teaching).
Supervised Teaching Experience. Either of two plans may be followed by
teacher education candidates.
1. Apprenticeship Plan (Plan A): .
Prerequisite: Educ 304, 311,312.
Apprenticeship is designed for students who wish to complete prepa-
ration for their teaching careers in four years and two six-week summer
sessions. Candidates will enroll for the summer session following their
junior year. The apprentice will assist and teach under the supervision of
a master teacher and University faculty in the Rice Summer School for
High School Students.
Educ 409 and a 400-level course, Seminar in Teaching, are to be
completed during the senior year.
Following graduation from Rice, the apprentice will again teach in
the Rice Summer School for High School Students under the supervision
of a master teacher and University faculty. The apprentice is not remu-
nerated for teaching either summer. He or she is recommended for the
Texas Provisional Teacher's Certificate following successful completion
of the second summer and state ExCET tests.
2. Internship Plan (Plan B):
Prerequisite: Completion of all course work except student teaching.
Under this plan, students are expected to attend a six-week summer
session immediately following their graduation from Rice. Each intern
will observe and teach classes under the supervision of a master teacher
and University faculty in the Rice Summer School for High School
Students. During the following fall semester, interns will teach in a
neighboring school system. Such placement will be subject to the availa-
bility of openings in the intern's teaching field(s).
The intern will be employed for full-time duty and will teach under the
supervision of a member of the cooperating school system and a faculty
member from the University. During the half year of service, the intern
will be paid a salary commensurate with the salary being paid a full-time
teacher with a degree and an emergency teaching permit by the cooperat-
ing school system. Upon successful completion of the internship semester
and upon the recommendation of the secondary school principal, the
intern will be offered a regular teaching contract for the spring semester if
a suitable vacancy exists. He or she will be recommended for a Texas
Provisional Teacher's Certificate after successful completion of state
ExCET tests.
Program for the Master of Arts in Teaching. Most candidates entering the
program will have had no professional education courses. During the program,
244 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
candidates usually fulfill all requirements for a Texas Provisional Teaching Certif-
icate. The program consists of the following components:
1. Courses in secondary school educational theory, teaching strategies,
educational objectives, and evaluation.
2. Graduate and upper division courses in the candidate's teaching rield(s).
3. Supervised full-time teaching in the Rice Summer School for High School
Students for two summers. Candidates will be responsible for the design
and implementation of courses, for teaching, and for evaluation.
4. Supervised teaching internship for one semester in a cooperating public
school system. (With the approval of the Department of Education a
second semester internship may be substituted for the second summer of
student teaching.)
Candidates with a valid secondary teaching certificate may be exempted from
the professional education courses and the second summer of student teaching.
Normally, the degree program will consist of 1 1 semester courses. However,
some candidates may need to remove deficiencies for certification and may
therefore require additional courses.
Students in the program will not normally be eligible for Rice Graduate
Fellowships or scholarship support since the cooperating school districts pay a
salary for internship teaching. However, a limited number of tuition waivers is
available.
Please refer to page 1 32 for additional information regarding admission to the
graduate program in education.

Engineering and Applied Science
The George R. Brown School of Engineering
Rice's engineering programs have been prominent since Ihe early days of the
University. Seven departments, each of which is strong in teaching and research,
now comprise the George R. Brown School of Engineering. The school was
dedicated in 1975 at ceremonies honoring the distinguished Rice alumnus, trus-
tee, and benefactor who was a founding partner in Brown & Root, Inc.
B.S. programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology (ABET) in chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engi-
neering, mechanical engineering, and materials science and engineering.
General Undergraduate Information. Curricula in engineering at Rice Univer-
sity lead to either Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degrees in the fields of
chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical and computer engineering,
mechanical engineering, and in materials science and engineering. In computer
science and in mathematical sciences, curricula lead to the Bachelor of Arts degree.
These curricula may also be used as part of integrated five-year programs that lead
to professional master's degrees in each of the above fields and in environmental
science or environmental engineering.
ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCE 247
A student taking the B.A. program is required to pass a total of at least 120
semester hours (40 courses). The major department may require no more than 80
specific semester hours for the major and may require fewer. Students must
complete at least 60 semester hours in addition to the departmental major require-
ments. Some departments require more than 120 hours for graduation.
A student following a B.S. program in engineering (other than chemical
engineering) must pass a total of at least 1 34 semester hours ( 1 37 semester hours
for chemical engineering). Except for chemical engineering, which may require up
to 1 04 semester hours in specific course requirements, no department may require
more than 92 semester hours in specific courses for the B.S. degree.
Each student should get a list of required courses from the appropriate
department. First- and second-year students should have their programs approved
each semester by an engineering adviser as well as by their college adviser. Before
registering for the junior year, students must associate themselves with an adviser
in the department of their major and have the choice of major approved. Registra-
tion for every semester thereafter must be approved by an adviser in the major
department.
The undergraduate courses listed below are offered for the preparation of
students majoring in all branches of engineering.

Undergraduate Program. The undergraduate curriculum in chemical engi-
neering is designed to provide a sound scientific and technical basis for further
professional development. Concurrently, the student has the opportunity to con-
centrate on a particular technical specialty such as applied mathematics, biomedi-
cal engineering, biotechnology, environmental quality, kinetics and catalysis,
engineering economics, petroleum production, solid state materials, or polymer
science and engineering.
In the four-year curriculum, a student may qualify for either the Bachelor of
Arts degree or the Bachelor of Science degree. The Bachelor of Arts program is
highly flexible and allows a student to pursue other areas of interest with or without
a double major. The Bachelor of Science program has a higher content of required
scientific and professional courses. On completion of either bachelor's program, a
student is eligible to apply for a fifth year of specialized study leading to the degree
of Master of Chemical Engineering. The curriculum is designed so that outstand-
ing students interested in careers in research and teaching may enter graduate
school after either bachelor's degree.
The Department of Chemical Engineering requires 78 semester hours in the
major for the B.A. degree, prerequisites and laboratory courses included. In
addition to these requirements, students must also satisfy the distribution require-
ments and complete no fewer than 59 semester hours outside the departmental
requirements for a total of at least 1 37 semester hours.
The B.S. degree is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology. Students enrolled in the B.S. program must take:
Chemistry 101, 102, 105, 21 1, 212, 213, 214, 311, 312, 313;

ments and complete sufficient courses outside the departmental requirements for
a total of at least 137 semester hours. A specific B.A. option in biochemical
engineering is available.
Graduate Program. Graduate study in chemical engineering can lead to the
Master of Chemical Engineering, the Master of Science, or the Doctor of Philoso-
phy. University requirements for the professional degree M.Ch.E. are given on
page 1 29. The Department requires that at least six of the courses taken must be at
the advanced level in chemical engineering. In addition, four semesters of chemi-
cal engineering design, a computer science course, and an approved mathematics
course must have been taken some time in the student's curriculum. Suggested
course combinations are available with emphasis in the areas of biochemical
engineering, petroleum engineering, and electronics materials.
University requirements for the research degrees M.S. and Ph.D. are outlined
on pages 129-130.
Candidates for the Master of Science degree are required to complete a
Ininimum of 18 approved semester hours with high standing. They must also
submit an original research thesis and defend it in a public oral examination.
Candidates for the Doctor of Philosophy degree must demonstrate compe-
tence in the areas of applied mathematics, thermodynamics, transport processes,
and chemical kinetics and reactor design by passing qualifying examinations,
normally during the first year of study. They must also complete a minimum of 36
approved semester hours with high standing and submit a thesis that provides
evidence of their ability to carry out original research in a specialized area of
chemical engineering. With departmental approval, the course requirements may
be reduced to 24 hours for students already having an M.S. degree. The thesis must
be defended in a public oral examination.

250 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
Note: With the written consent of the instructor, a student may register for a
course without having completed the required prerequisite(s), but such consent
can be expected only in unusual circumstances and will not carry forward. For
example, if the instructor for Chemical Engineering 4 1 1 waives Chemistry 3 11 for
a person, then the person upon completing Chemical Engineering 41 1 may not
proceed to Chemical Engineering 412 without the consent of that instructor since
Chemistry 311 is an implied prerequisite for Chemical Engineering 412.

Degrees Offered: B.A., B.S.C.E., M.C.E., M.S., Ph.D. '
The profession of civil engineering is concerned with the development, plan-
ning, design, construction, and operation of large facilities and systems. These
include buildings, bridges, and other structures of various forms; transportation
systems, water supply systems, drainage and flood control and systems for waste
disposal and pollution control. The planning of new communities and the redevel-
opment of existing cities are also within the spectrum of civil engineering
activities.
Undergraduate Program. The professional degree is the Bachelor of Science in
Civil Engineering. The programs leading to this degree are accredited by the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. The student may choose to
take a quite general basic program, or a more specialized option: the Environmen-
tal Engineering Option (offered in conjunction with the Department of Environ-
mental Science and Engineering). The departmental requirements are as follows:
Basic Program
Mathematics 101, 1 02, 2 1 1 , 2 1 2, and Mathematical Sciences 223 and 38 1 or 382

In addition to the departmental requirements above, students must satisfy the
University distribution requirements (page 63-84), and must complete a total
program of at least 1 34 semester hours. More information on the civil engineering
program, including a recommended course of study by semesters and suggestions
for selecting electives, may be obtained from the departmental office. The program
of each student is formulated in consultation with a departmental adviser. As soon
as students decide on an engineering major, they should consult the departmental
advisers.
A Bachelor of Arts degree with a civil engineering major is also available for
students not interested in a professional career in civil engineering. The B.A.
program has less technical content than the B.S.C.E. program and hence more
flexibility with electives. It is not accredited as a professional engineering curricu-
lum. The detailed curriculum may be obtained from the departmental office. This
curriculum requires at least 1 24 semester hours of which no fewer than 60 must be
outside of the specific departmental requirements.
The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering is a suitable terminal degree for
students interested in a professional career, but a master's degree is highly desira-
ble. The Doctor of Philosophy degree is generally required for a career in teaching
or in research and development.
Graduate Program. Programs of study in structural engineering and structural
mechanics and geotechnical engineering can lead to the degrees of Master of Civil
Engineering, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy. Special attention is
given to developing the student's interest in and ability for independent study and
research in the M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs.
Applicants for graduate study are generally required to have a Bachelor of
Science in Civil Engineering, with a significant emphasis on structural engineer-
ing. Consideration may be given to applicants with some other undergraduate
degrees if they have adequate preparation in mathematics, mechanics, and struc-
tural analysis and design. Curricula such as engineering technology or construction
technology do not represent adequate preparation.
The requirements for a professional Master of Civil Engineering degree are
described on page 132. University requirements for other advanced degrees are
described on pages 136-139. Departmental requirements for the M.S. and Ph.D.
degrees are as follows. A candidate for the Master of Science degree is required to
(1) complete at least 21 semester hours of approved courses; (2) complete an
acceptable thesis; and (3) pass a final oral examination on the thesis. A candidate
for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy must satisfy the following requirements: ( 1 )
complete at least 48 semester hours of approved courses with high standing; (2)
pass a comprehensive preliminary examination designed to test the candidate's
knowledge of the field and ability to think in a creative manner; (3) pass an oral
qualifying examination on the proposed thesis research and related topics; (4)
complete a thesis which shall constitute an original contribution to knowledge; and
(5) pass a final public oral examination on the thesis and related topics. If the
256 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
departmental faculty concludes at any stage of a student's doctoral program that he
or she is unqualified to continue, the student is denied further registration.
The research interests of the members of the civil engineering faculty lie in the
areas of structural and foundation dynamics, including earthquake engineering
and offshore structures, applications of probability theory to civil engineering
problems, particularly random vibrations and structural fatigue; behavior of
concrete components and structural systems; experimental studies of fatigue in
steel structural assemblies; and mechanical properties of soils.
M.S. and Ph.D. students are expected to participate in the instructional
activites of the Department as part of their educational experience. This service
will not usually be required for more than one semester of an M.S. program or two
semesters of a Ph.D. program, nor for more than ten hours per week in any
semester.

Undergraduate Program. During the first two years, all computer science
majors are required to take the following courses:
Mathematics 101, 102 (or 121, 122)
Physics 101 - ■ ■—
Computer Science 2 1 0, 2 1 2, 280, 320
In addition, the following courses are strongly recommended:
Mathematics 211,212
Physics 102, 132
During the spring semester of the sophomore year, prospective majors should
apply for admission into the program. Because enrollment in the major is limited
to the number of students that the facilities can handle, some applications may be
turned down. After admission, a student will plan a course of study for the junior
and senior years with a departmental undergraduate adviser. To complete the
major, a student must fulfill the following requirements:
Software engineering: Computer Science 310
Algorithms: Computer Science 382
Linear algebra: Mathematical Sciences 310 or Mathematics 355
Probability/Statistics: Statistics 38 1 or 382 i
Software systems: Computer Science 4 1 2 or 42 1

plus two of the following courses not used to satisfy the above requirements:
Computer Science 4 1 1 , 4 1 2, 42 1 , 425, 440, 460, 480, 48 1
The courses required for the major sum to between 59 and 61 hours. Since the
University requires 60 hours in addition to those used for the major, as many as .
1 2 1 hours may be needed to graduate.
Undergraduate Honors Program. A student can, with the permission of the :
department, join the undergraduate honors program in Computer Science. The :
requirements for the freshman and sophomore years of the program are identical I
to the first two years in the standard program above. In order to complete the:}
requirements for the major, a student must take the following courses:

Graduate Program. The department offers three graduate programs, the pro-
fessional master's, the research master's and the doctoral. The professional pro-
gram, a terminal degree program for students intending to pursue a technical
career in the computer industry, awards the Master of Computer Science degree.
To earn the degree, the student must successfully complete thirty semester hours of
coursework approved by the department. A minimum grade point average must be
achieved over all courses counting toward the degree. The professional master's
program normally requires three semesters of study.
The research master's program requires a thesis in addition to coursework and
culminates in the Master of Science degree. Admission to this program, however, is
reserved for special situations.
The doctoral program, offered to students planning to pursue a career in
computer science research and education, awards the degree of Doctor of
Philosphy. To earn this degree, the student must pass a comprehensive examina-
tion covering the core areas of computer science, pass a qualifying examination in
an area of specialization, conduct original research, submit an acceptable thesis
proposal, successfully defend the thesis proposal, submit an acceptable thesis
reporting research results, and pass a final oral defense. Upon successful comple-
tion of the comprehensive examination, the qualifying examination and the
proposal defense, the student will be awarded the Master of Science degree. After a
successful thesis defense and the completion of all departmental and university
requirements, the student will be awarded the Doctor of Philosophy degree. The
doctoral program normally requires four to five years of study.
Fellowships and research assistantships are available to students in the doc-
toral program. Both provide a monthly stipend for the academic year and cover all
tuition expenses. More substantial monthly stipends may be available during the
summer for students working on departmental research projects. In all cases,
continued support is contingent on satisfactory progress in the program. During
the academic year, students in the doctoral program assist the department in the
teaching and administration of undergraduate and graduate courses. However,
such duties will not be required of any student for more than four semesters and
will not exceed an average often hours per week.
Current research interests of the faculty include algorithms, compiler con-
struction, distributed systems, geometric modeling and robotics, parallel process-
ing, performance evaluation, programming environments, programming lan-
guages, program verification, semantics, symbolic computation, and the theory of
computation.

Degrees Offered: B.A., B.S., M.E.E., M.S., Ph.D.
Undergraduate Program. The four-year program in electrical engineering
leads to either the B.A. or the B.S. in Electrical Engineering. The B.S. program has
more technical requirements, and is the only degree accredited by the Accredita-
tion Board for Engineering and Technology, while the B.A. program allows more
flexibility with electives. It is possible in either program to satisfy major require-
ments of two departments. Students may take a double major combining electrical
and computer engineering with computer science, physics, mathematics, econom-
ics, languages, or other disciplines.
Students contemplating a major in electrical and computer engineering
should take:
Mathematics 101. 102. 21 1. 212 (or the corresponding honors courses)
Physics 101, 102, 132
Computer Science 2 1 0
Engineering 24 1
Three (two for CSE option, see below) courses plus one laboratory selected
from:
268 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
Chemistry 101, 102, 107, Physics 201, 202, 231
One of the following to satisfy the B.S. requirement for an engineering science
course from another engineering department: Engineering 200, 211, Materials
Science 245, 301
Electrical Engineering 301, 305, 320, 326, 342 (all of these courses are re-
quired for the B.S. degree, while any four of them are required for the B.A. degree)
Although a general program of study can be arranged, the program in electrical
engineering is best described in terms of three major areas of concentration. For
areas of specialization other than Computer Systems Engineering, this program
consists of six courses taken in the area of concentration (see below) and two
related electrical engineering courses outside the major area. For the B.S. degree,
one of those courses must be an engineering science course, and the other must be
an engineering design course.
For the Computer Systems Engineering option, the B.S. degree program
consists of nine courses as specified below. Students planning to specialize in
Computer Systems Engineering need not take the second semester of chemistry or
second year of physics that is required for other areas of specialization.
Circuits, Controls, and Communication Systems
This specialization is composed of four subareas: ( 1 ) circuits and electronics,
(2) dynamics and control, (3) information processing and communications, and
(4) bioengineering. These are closely related and generally involve the study of
processing and communicating signals and information through systems of de-
vices. The major area courses are Mathematical Sciences 330, Electrical Engineer-
ing 331, 401, 430, 436, and one of Mathematical Sciences 353 or 460.
Computer Systems and Engineering
This program permits students to develop a broad background in the general
area of computer systems engineering and provides preparation for further study
and the opportunity to specialize in the sub-areas of computer architecture,
computer hardware engineering, computer software engineering, and computer
systems performance analysis. The major area courses are: Computer Science 2 1 2,
Mathematical Sciences 381, Mathematical Sciences 3 1 0 or 353, Computer Science
280, and Electrical Engineering 322, 421, 425, 424 or 426, 428.
Lasers, Microwaves, and Solid-State Electronics
This area of concentration permits undergraduate students to study and
participate in several specialties, including laser technology, optical communica-
tion systems, application and development of tunable laser devices, semiconduc-
tor devices, opto-electronic devices, and integrated optics and VLSI circuits. The
major area courses are Mathematical Sciences 340, Electrical Engineering 306,
459,461,462,463.
In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students seeking
the B.A. degree must also satisfy the distribution requirement and complete no
fewer than 60 semester hours outside the departmental requirements for a total
program of at least 1 30 semester hours. For the B.S. degree, no fewer than 43
semester hours outside departmental requirements for a total of 134 semester
hours are required. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 63-84.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING 269
Graduate Program. Requirements of a general nature for advanced degrees are
outlined on pages 136-139. In addition to the above areas, there is a graduate
program in bioengineering. Students should consult departmental advisers for
specific courses of study.
A candidate for the professional degree of Master of Electrical Engineering is
required to complete an approved sequence often advanced courses. See Profes-
sional Degrees in Engineering, page 132.
A candidate for the Master of Science degree in the Department of Electrical
and Computer Engineering is required to complete an approved course of study. In
addition, the candidate is required to complete an approved research program and
submit an acceptable thesis. A semester or more of supervised teaching is required
as a valuable part of graduate education. The M.S. degree is not a terminal degree,
but part of the Ph.D. program at Rice.
The granting of the Doctor of Philosophy degree presupposes academic work
of high quality and demonstrated ability to do independent and creative research.
To be admitted to candidacy, the student must obtain high standing in an ap-
proved course program and perform satisfactorily on qualifying examinations.
Normally, the candidate completes the requirements for an M.S. degree as part of
the Ph.D. program. Qualified students may, upon recommendation of the depart-
ment and approval of the Graduate Council, enter a program leading directly to
the Doctor of Philosophy degree after completing the bachelor's degree. The
candidate must participate in a program of supervised teaching. Emphasis is
placed on research leading to a satisfactory dissertation. Each candidate takes a
final oral examination. The doctoral candidate should expect to spend a minimum
of three academic years of graduate study in this program.
In addition to the regular graduate programs, there are four interdisciplinary
graduate programs designed particularly for those who received their previous
degree(s) in mathematics, physics, chemistry, or other sciences, including under-
graduate engineering science programs, but who have become interested in the
engineering applications appropriate to a particular field of science. These pro-
grams are systems theory, solid-state electronics and materials science, computer
science, and bioengineering.

Degrees Offered: B.A., M.E.E., M.E.S., M.S., Ph.D.
Undergraduate Program. The major in environmental science (offered only as
double major with other fields of science or engineering) is intended for students
/ishing academic training oriented toward the solution of technical environmen-
al problems and leads to the B.A. degree.
General requirements during the first two years include: two years of mathe-
(latics, one and one-half years of chemistry, and one year of physics. Specific
curses to satisfy these requirements vary somewhat and should be determined in
onsultation with a departmental adviser. For the B.A. degree, a minimum of 1 2
emester hours of environmental science and engineering courses are required
luring the junior and senior years. The undergraduate B.A. double major curricu-
am has been designed with maximum flexibility and minimum specific require-
nents to encourage interdepartmental study with all other fields of science and
ngineering. A list of suggested electives in various fields of science, engineering.

humanities, and social science is available for students desiring additional gu;
dance or specialization. , I
The total number of semester hours required for the B. A. with a double majc
depends on departmental requirements for the other major. Generally, howevei'
in addition to the departmental requirements for the majors, students must als
satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 60 semeste
hours outside the departmental requirements for a total program of at least 1 2
semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 63-84.
Undergraduates interested in environmental engineering should contact th
Department of Civil Engineering for information on the B.S. degree program wit|
an environmental option.
The introductory course. Environmental Science 201, is intended for bot
majors and nonmajors. Humanities majors are encouraged to consider this cours
for science distribution requirements.
Successful completion of the four-year curriculum leading to the Bachelor cl
Arts with environmental science as part of a double major qualifies the student fo!
possible admission to a fifth year of specialized study leading to the professions
degree of Master of Environmental Science (M.E.S.). Completion of a four-yea,
curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science in any field of engineering (civil anr
chemical preferred) qualifies the student for possible admission to a fifth year c'
specialized study leading to the professional degree of Master of Environment^^
Engineering (M.E.E). These recognized professional degrees in the environment£
field are differentiated on the basis of science or engineering orientation and ar
described on page 1 33. Outstanding students wishing to pursue careers in teachini
and research are qualified for graduate study after the B.A., B.S., M.E.S., M.E.E
and M.S. degrees.
Graduate Program. The graduate programs in environmental science ani*
environmental engineering are interdepartmental activities and lead to the th!
M.E.E., M.E.S., Master of Science, and Doctorof Philosophy degrees. Applicant
for admission to the environmental science program may hold the baccalaureat
or master's degree in any of the sciences or mathematics. Applicants for thi
environmental engineering program must hold accredited baccalaureate o
master's degrees in an area of engineering. Although the main research activities ii
the department are concerned with ground water and surface water contamina
tion, hydrology, water and wastewater treatment, environmental microbiology
and applied aquatic chemistry, the program serves as the focal point for study am
research in a broad spectrum of problems related to human interactions with thI
natural environment. Faculty members from the Departments of Chemical Engi
neering, Space Physics and Astronomy, Architecture, Ecology and Evolutionar
Biology, Geology, and Mathematical Sciences participate in this interdisciplinar
research. Graduate students enrolled in any of these departments and interested ii
environmental problems for thesis topics may use facilities of the Department o
Environmental Science and Engineering and are eligible for financial assistance ii
the form of graduate research assistantships and fellowships.
Candidates for the Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degrees maj
pursue course programs designed to both complement and supplement thai
backgrounds through major and minor emphasis areas. However, formal minor
are not required. University requirements for the advanced degrees are presentee
on pages 136-139.
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 279
Graduate students in environmental science or engineering take a portion of
leir courses in other departments. A candidate for the Master of Science degree
lUst complete a minimum of eight approved semester courses and present and
sfend, in oral examination, a research thesis. Normally, two academic years and
le intervening summer are required for the degree.

ioral and social sciences, and computer science.
Within the flexible framework of University requirements, the progran
consists of three parts: ( 1) basic courses in mathematics and computer science, (2
introductory courses in appropriate areas of mathematical sciences, and (3) elec;
tives for which major credit is given.
1 . Students normally take eight basic courses, as follows:
Calculus — Mathematics 101, 102 (or honors equivalent);
Differential equations — Mathematics 211;
Multivariable calculus — Mathematics 2 1 2;
Linear algebra — Mathematics 355 or Mathematical Sciences 310;
Discrete mathematics — Computer Science 280 or Mathematics 356;
Computer programming — Computer Science 210 or 212;
Model building — Statistics 300, 301, or approved alternate.
2. Students take one course in each of three of the following areas:
Computing — At least three hours of Computer Science in addition to th(
}♦ above;
Numerical analysis — Mathematical Sciences 353, 45 1 , 452, or 454;
,,u . Operations research/optimization — Mathematical Sciences 460, 471'
472, 475, or 476; or Economics 472.
Physical mathematics: Mathematical Sciences 330 or 340, or Mathemat
-;.:, ics381or382;
Applied probability: Mathematical Sciences 38 1 , or Statistics 382.
3. Students also take elective courses for credit toward the mathematica
sciences major, as follows:
Two additional courses in one of the areas selected above;
■ One further course in mathematical sciences, computer science, statis
tics, or mathematics;
Approved electives to bring total major requirements to 55 semestei
hours.
In addition to departmental requirements for the major, students must alsc
satisfy University distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 6C
semester hours outside the departmental requirements for a total program of a-i
least 120 semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 63-84.
A student contemplating a major in Mathematical Sciences is encouraged tc
contact any member of the Department, particularly a member of its undergradu.
ate committee. A faculty member will help the student explore possible programf
suited to his or her individual needs and interests.
The Department of Mathematical Sciences participates in the interdisciplii
nary program in Managerial Studies. More information may be obtained from the',
description Managerial Studies program on page 369.
Graduate Program. Admission to graduate study in mathematical sciences ii
open to qualified students holding bachelor's or master's degrees (or theii
equivalent) in engineering, mathematics, or physical, biological, mathematical, oi
behavioral sciences. The credentials of each applicant will receive individual
evaluation by the faculty of the department. A complete application folder shoulcj
ENGINEERING/MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES 283
iclude the quantitative, verbal, and advanced scores from the Graduate Record
Examination, all transcripts, and evidence of proficiency in English (such as the
OEFL) where appropriate.
The graduate program is designed for students seeking the professional degree
f Master in Applied Mathematical Sciences or the research degrees of Master of
rts or Doctor of Philosophy. It normally takes one or two years to obtain a
laster's and three or four years to obtain a doctorate. A master's degree is not a
rerequisite for the doctoral degree.
The professional degree emphasizes the applied aspects of the mathematical
iences. This degree is intended for persons who plan careers as practitioners
ather than primarily as researchers. Presently, this degree emphasizes the follow-
ig areas, singly or in combination: (1) general applied mathematics, (2) opera-
ions research, and (3) numerical analysis. Further information about this degree
lay be obtained from the Department.
The granting of a research degree presupposes demonstrated ability to do
dvanced original research. Students are encouraged to initiate research activities
t the earliest possible time in their graduate study. Presently, the research inter-
sts of the faculty are in the following four major areas: ( 1 ) numerical analysis and
omputation, (2) physical mathematics, (3) operations research, (4) mathematical
lodeling in physical, biological, or behavioral sciences. Further information
bout these areas may be obtained from the department.
Graduate fellowships, research assistantships, and graduate scholarships are
vailable and are awarded on the basis of merit to qualified students. Current
ractice in the department is for most doctoral students in good standing to receive
3me financial aid. As an integral part of their scholastic programs, all graduate
tudents are expected to attain some proficiency in teaching by engaging in
istructional assignments of the Department.
Requirements for the Degree of Master in Applied Mathematical Sciences:
1 . Satisfactory completion of at least 30 semester hours of coursework
approved by the department.
2. At most two courses may be at the 300- (junior) level; at most two may be

Degrees Offered: B.A., B.S.M.E., B.S.M.S., M.M.E., M.M.S., M.S., Ph.D.
Undergraduate Program. Undergraduate programs offered by this Depart-
ment lead to the degrees of Bachelor of Arts (with a major in mechanical engineer-
ing or materials science and engineering), Bachelor of Science in Mechanical
Engineering, and Bachelor of Science in Materials Science.
The programs in mechanical engineering may, by proper choice of electives,
lead to specialization in one of several options: thermal sciences and energy
conversion, gas dynamics, hydrodynamics, stress analysis and mechanical behav-
ior of materials, aerospace engineering, and materials engineering. The programs
in materials science and engineering provide the student with knowledge of the
fabrication, structure, and properties of materials used by engineers. The B.A.
programs are highly flexible, involve less technical content, and allow the student
to pursue more deeply areas of interest outside of engineering. The B.S. programs,
both accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, have
higher content of technical courses and prepare the student for the professional
practice of engineering.
The senior year of the B.S. program in mechanical engineering provides a
capstone design experience for mechanical engineering majors. Senior mechanical
engineering students are required to complete a major design project in addition to
course work in computer-aided design and design applications.
The basic university requirements for the B.A. and B.S. programs are summa-
rized under Degree Requirements and Majors (pp. 63-84) and Engineering and
290 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
Applied Science (page 246). The detailed requirements are summarized below.
Lists of representative courses and their normal sequence during the stu-
dents'undergraduate years are available from the department for either the B. A. or
B.S. programs in both mechanical engineering or materials science and
engineering.
Students seeking the B. A. degree with a major in mechanical engineering must
satisfy the university distribution requirements while completing not less than 75
semester hours in courses specified by the department and not less than 60
additional semester hours. Those seeking the B. A. degree with a major in materials
science must satisfy the university distribution requirements while completing not
less than 53 semester hours in courses specified by the department and not less
than 67 additional semester hours.
Students seeking the accredited B.S. in Mechanical Engineering must satisfy

Professional and Graduate Programs. Advanced level programs offered by this
department lead to the professional degrees of Master of Mechanical Engineering
and Master of Materials Science and to the research degrees of Master of Science
and Doctor of Philosophy in either mechanical engineering or materials science.
The professional degrees involve a fifth year of specialized study, integrated
with the four prior years leading to either the B. A. or B.S. degrees in the same areas
of interest described in the foregoing discussion of the undergraduate programs.
The professional programs are open to students who have shown academic excel-
lence in their undergraduate studies. Detailed university requirements for profes-
sional degrees are described under Professional Degrees (pp. 1 30- 1 39) and involve
the successful completion of 30 semester hours of course work. Suggested lists of
courses are available from the department; however, specific programs are devel-
oped for each student according to interest.
The programs leading to the research degrees of M.S. and Ph.D. are open to
students who have demonstrated outstanding performance in their undergraduate
studies. The general university requirements for these degrees are outlined under
Requirements for Research Degrees (pp. 129-130). Specific course requirements
are variable, depending on preparation and performance in courses and on quali-
fying examinations, etc. The granting of a graduate degree presupposes superior
quality academic work and a demonstrated ability to do original research. For both
the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, a thesis must be presented that comprises an original
contribution to knowledge, and it must be defended in a public oral examination.
The research interests of the faculty and the laboratory equipment available
provide the following areas of specialization: ( 1 ) engineering mechanics; (2) mater-
ials science; (3) fluid dynamics, gas dynamics, heat transfer, physical oceanogra-
phy; (4) aeroastronautics; (5) computer-aided design; and (6) computational
mechanics.

Undergraduates may major in French, and there is a graduate program in
French leading to the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy. A fully
equipped language laboratory is in operation, and laboratory work is an important
part of the elementary courses in French.
Undergraduate Program. A minimum of 30 semester hours (ten courses) in
advanced French courses is required for the major in French. However, only 24
semester hours (eight courses) of advanced study are required for double majors or
area majors. The following courses are required unless the student is exempted by
3 1 0 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
his or her major adviser: French 30 1 , 302, 311, and 3 1 2. Students who have taken
French 300- and 400-level courses cannot enroll simultaneously or afterwards in
French 200-level courses for credit. Students with a diploma from French-speak-
ing institutions must consult with the department before enrolling in courses.
Students are urged to take some work in European history, English, another
European literature, or other courses closely related to French literature and
culture. All majors and prospective majors must have their programs approved by
the undergraduate adviser.
In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students must
also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 60 semester
hours outside the departmental requirements for a total program of at least 120
semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 63-84.
In addition to courses at the 100 and 200 levels, the department particularly
recommends French 306 to meet the university distribution requirements. This
course, designed to interest a wide range of students, is taught in English and does
not require previous knowledge of French. It may be accepted for an area major
when approved by the departments involved.
An honors program in French is available to qualified students. For detailed
information, they should consult their French instructor or the departmental
adviser. The Clyde Ferguson Bull Traveling Fellowship is awarded each year to a
graduating senior with a major or double major in French. The fellowship permits
the recipient to spend an entire year in France. A $2,000 summer travel scholar-
ship is presented each year by the Alliance Francaise for university students in the
Houston area. Members of the department are available for discussion of the
numerous programs of study and travel in France sponsored by both American
and French institutions. There is an active chapter of the French honorary society
of Pi Delta Phi and an active French club, Le Club Chouette.
Graduate Programs. Admission to graduate study in French will be granted to
a limited number of qualified students. A distinguished undergraduate record in
the study of French literature and a capacity for independent work are essential.
The award of advanced degrees is not based solely on accumulation of credits or
compliance with formal requirements. Candidates are expected to attain a wide
general knowledge of the appropriate history and literature and to demonstrate
their command of the French language. In most cases, two years will be required
for the completion of work for the degree of Master of Arts. All courses are given in
French.
Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts:
1. Completion with satisfactory standing of 24 hours (beyond B.A.) in
advanced courses plus thesis work (6 semester hours).
2. Satisfactory performance on a reading examination in one language other
than French (language to be approved by the department).
3. Satisfactory performance on preliminary written and oral examinations
in French on the French authors indicated in a reading list provided.
4. Completion of an acceptable thesis.
5. Satisfactory performance on a final oral examination.
Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy:
1. Completion with high standing of a program approved by the depart-
ment. Normally, this will include 54 semester hours of course work plus
FRENCH AND ITALIAN 3 1 1
36 hours for the thesis. For those already holding the degree of Master of
Arts, the requirement would be 30 semester hours of course work plus 36
hours for the thesis.
2. Satisfactory performance on a reading examination in two languages
other than French approved by the department.
3. Satisfactory performance on a preliminary written and oral examination
on the authors indicated in a reading list provided and on the literature,
culture, and civilization of France. The oral examination may be taken
only after the successful completion of the written examination. Students
have a choice between passing a preliminary examination in a second
field of literature or taking at least one course in a closely related field
approved by the graduate faculty. Maximum credit toward the Ph.D.
degree for work in a "minor" field is limited to three hours.
Note: Requirements 2 and 3 must be fulfilled one year before the submis-
sion of a dissertation.
4. Completion of a dissertation approved by the department; the disserta-
tion is expected to represent an original contribution.

Degrees Offered: B.A., M.A., Ph.D.
Undergraduate Program in Geology. The following courses are required for
completion of the degree of Bachelor of Arts with a major in geology:
Geology 101, 102, 31 1, 312, 331, 332, 334, 361, 390, and 402.
316 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
At least six semester hours of geology in additional courses at the 300-level or
higher.
The following supporting courses are also required:
Mathematics 1 0 1 , 1 02, and 2 1 1 ;
Chemistry 1 0 1 , 1 02, and 1 07;
Physics 101, 102, 132;
Mathematical Sciences 223 (Min. 2 hours Fortran) or Computer Science 211.
Double majors including geology must comply with the above requirements
except that the six hours of geology electives may be deleted.
Students in the geology major must satisfy the distribution requirements and
complete no fewer than 60 semester hours in addition to the Departmental
requirements for the Geology major for a total of 1 35 semester hours.
The Department of Geology and Geophysics offers an approved curriculum
leading to certification in earth science as a second teaching field. The curriculum
consists of 25 semester hours of introductory courses which would most benefit a
secondary school teacher, i.e., physical and historical geology, study of minerals,
rocks, and fossils; some work in astronomy, meteorology, and oceanography.
Undergraduate Program in Geophysics. The following courses are required for
completion of the degree of Bachelor of Arts with a major in geophysics:
Geology 101, 102, 311, 331, 334, 361, 390, 441, 442, and 461;
Mathematics 101, 102, 21 1, and 212;
Chemistry 101, 102, and 107;
Physics 101, 102, 132, 201, and 231; - -- --■- -
Mathematical Sciences 233 (Min. 2 hours Fortran) or Computer Science 211.
Additional courses recommended but not required are Physics 301, Mathe-
matical Sciences 310 or Mathematics 355, and Mathematical Sciences 340.
Students in the geophysics major must satisfy the distribution requirements
and complete no fewer than 60 semester hours in addition to the Departmental
requirements for the Geophysics major for a total of 1 35 semester hours.
Graduate Program. The department offers graduate programs leading to M. A.
and Ph.D degrees. At present the department is prepared to offer advanced work in
marine geology-oceanography, stratigraphy, sedimentation, carbonate petrology,
igneous petrology, meteoritics, geochemistry, rock mechanics, structural geology,
regional tectonics, seismology, and geodynamics. Programs of study and research
that bridge a variety of these specialties are encouraged.
We expect all incoming students to have a strong background in physics,
chemistry, and mathematics and to have, or to acquire, a broad grounding in
fundamental earth sciences. We encourage applications from well qualified stu-
dents with degrees in the other sciences and mathematics. Candidates for ad-
vanced degrees must pass a comprehensive written qualifying exam given at the
beginning of the second semester. Candidates who do not have a previous bache-
lor's or master's degree in Geology or Geophysics may choose to lake the written
comprehensive exam in their second year.
Fellowships and/or tuition scholarships, which do not obligate a student to
specific research projects are available for the first year of study. During the first
year students select an advisor and a research project, and in the second and
subsequent years they normally receive a stipend and tuition from external funds
for specific research. Our degree programs require full time study and close
interaction with faculty and fellow students for the optimum educational experi-
ence. Therefore, we do not encourage part-time students who will be concurrently
GEOLOGY AND GEOPHYSICS 3 1 7
employed in full (or nearly full) time positions outside the university. As part of
their training all graduate students are expected to satisfactorily perform a limited
amount of teaching as assistants in Geology and Geophysics courses. These
teaching requirements are unrelated to stipends or scholarships.
The general requirements for the M.A. and Ph.D. are similar. However, the
Ph.D. demands the attainment of a significantly higher level of knowledge, re-
search skills, and scholarly independence. Details of the requirements are con-
tained in the departmental "Guidelines for Advanced Degrees in the Department
of Geology and Geophysics" distributed to all incoming students, and are only
summarized here. All university requirements apply. Most students can expect to
spend at least two years beyond the bachelor's degree to complete requirements for
the master's degree, and at least two years beyond the master's degree for the Ph.D.
Students of exceptional ability with a bachelor's degree may be allowed to work
directly toward the Ph.D. In this case, the course of study will be equivalent to that
required for both degrees, and performance on the examinations and the thesis will
be at the level required for the Ph.D.
Course requirements are flexible to meet the needs of individual students'
programs. Each candidate must complete a course of study determined by his
major professor and advisory committee and approved by the departmental
Graduate Committee. Geology 403 is the only required course, but the course
program for each degree must include 20 credit hours of course work at the 400
level and above, other than research courses. The department requires that a
student maintain a grade point average of 3.0 (B) or better.
During the second semester of residence, all students must register for the
preparation of a thesis proposal. The student must pass an oral qualifying exam
based on the research proposal, before beginning the research program. The
research program will culminate in a thesis representing an original contribution
to science, which must be completed for publication. Finally, the research and the
conclusions of the thesis must be successfully defended in an oral examination.

Undergraduate Program. A student majoring in history must take a minimum
of 30 semester hours (ten courses) in history, of which 1 8 semester hours (six
courses) must be on the advanced level (300 or 400). Two of the student's advanced
courses must be chosen from a departmental list of seminars/colloquia devoted
mainly to writing and discussion. In addition, students are expected to distribute
their ten courses over four fields:
I. Ancient-Medieval: one course minimum
II. Modern Europe: two courses minimum
III. United States: two courses minimum
IV. Asia, Latin America, Africa: one course minimum
History majors also are advised to acquaint themselves with humanistic
disciplines other than history (for example, literature, fine arts, and philosophy)
and also with social sciences such as political science, sociology, economics, and
anthropology, whose contributions to historical studies are vital. Some foreign
language proficiency is desirable for a history major, and the department highly
recommends that students contemplating graduate work in history study at least
one foreign language in some depth (most graduate schools require a reading
knowledge of French and German for the Ph.D. degree).
In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students must
also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 60 semester
hours outside the departmental requirements for a total program of at least 120
semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 63-84.
334 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
' GraduateProgram. Graduate students in history are accepted for study lead-
ing to either the M.A. or Ph.D. Holders of the B.A. degree (or its equivalent) from
an acceptable institution are eligible to apply. The graduate program is designed to
train a limited number of carefully selected students. Both the M.A. and the Ph.D.
degrees are offered in limited areas of American, European and other history.
Further information about the fields may be obtained on request from the
department.
Graduate fellowships as well as graduate scholarships within the limits of
available funds are awarded to qualified students with demonstrated ability.
Fellowships include a stipend and a waiver of tuition; scholarships provide a
waiver of tuition only. As a part of their training, all graduate students are expected
to render limited services to the department as tutorial instructors, as research
assistants, or as assistants to the editors of the Journal of Southern History or The
Papers of Jefferson Davis, both of which are sponsored by Rice University.
Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts. Candidates for the M.A. degree
are expected to complete a certain amount of formal class or seminar work, usually
24 semester hours; take one graduate colloquium and one graduate seminar; and
write a thesis under the direction of an advisory committee of the department
headed by a professor having special competence in the subject area of the thesis.
An oral defense of the thesis is also required. Completion of these requirements
usually takes two years. Not more than three years may elapse between the time the
student is admitted to graduate study and the completion of the degree, unless an
extension is approved by the departmental graduate committee. An alternate M.A.
degree is available to doctoral students who fulfill the special requirements set by
the department.
Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Candidates for the Ph.D.
degree are expected to prepare themselves for a qualifying examination in three
fields, at least two of which must be in the major area of concentration (European,
American, or other history). The two fields in the major area of concentration
should include one broadly defined field and one more narrow concentration
within that broad area (e.g., U.S. history and slavery; modem European history
and the Hitler era; Latin American history and capitalism in the modem world). If
the major area is European history, the third field must be in American history; if
the major area is in American history, the third field must be in European history.
If the major area is outside American or European history, the third field must be
in either American or European history. Preparation for this qualifying examina-
tion (the passing of which qualifies the student to apply for formal admission to
candidacy for the Ph.D. degree) normally includes course work, directed reading,
and a substantial amount of independent reading. This work must also include at
least two graduate colloquia and two graduate seminars. The department has no
specific requirements for the number of hours that must be completed, but Ph.D.
students are expected to remain full-time students from their entry into the
program until they pass their qualifying examination. The qualifying examination
usually is oral, though it may be written or both written and oral at the discretion of
the department. It is given only after the student has completed all necessary
course and seminar work and passed reading examinations in the principle lan-
guage of research (unless it is English) and one other language (not English).
Students should take the qualifying examination before the beginning of their sixth
semester and must take it before the beginning of the seventh semester. In addition
to the foreign language examinations and the qualifying examination, the Ph.D.
HISTORY 335
candidate must present a dissertation embodying the results of original research
and defend it in a public oral examination. This dissertation must be completed
within three calendar years after passing the qualifying examination, unless an
extension is granted by the departmental graduate committee.

540,S REVISIONISM IN AFRICAN HISTORY (4-0-4)
The course is concerned with the impact of theoretical constructs and debates on African
historiography. It takes note of the intellectual debates that have been organized around
modernization, underdevelopment, dependency, world-systems and the Marxist/Neo-
Marxist theories. These postulations, originally derived from historical studies in Europe,
Asia, and Latin America, have simultaneously opened up African history to a wider compar-
ative discourse while at the same time imposing hegemony on the nature of that discourse.
This course is concerned in part with the histories of these theories. In the second part it will
discuss the histories of certain specific concepts, including feudalism. Oriental despotism,
modes of production, capitalism, social classes, nationalism, race, ethnicity, peasantries,
class consciousness, the state — in their home contexts — and the ways they have been applied
to the study of African history. Thirdly, the course will discuss in what ways these theories
and concepts have influenced the evolution of specific historiographies in Africa: "Afri-
canist," "nationalist" and "radical."

Undergraduate Program. As language plays an important role throughout
human life, linguistics is by its nature an interdisciplinary field. The undergradu-
ate major therefore includes at least two non-linguistics courses, chosen in accor-
dance with an area of concentration. The major may be undertaken with any of
three areas of concentration: Cognitive Science, Language, Textual Semiotics. All
majors are required to take at least eight courses (24 semester hours) in linguistics,
including at least the three core courses: 300 (Linguistic Analysis), 301 (Phonolo-
gy), and (402) Syntax and Semantics. The remaining requirements depend on the
student's area of concentration, as follows:
Cognitive Science Concentration. Besides the three core courses, the eight
required courses in linguistics must include at least two of the following: 306
(Cognitive Linguistics), 3 1 5 (Information Structures), 3 1 7 (Computation for Lin-
guists), 41 1 (Neurolinguistics). In addition, the major must include at least two
courses (six semester hours) in cognitive studies in other departments, chosen in
consultation with the undergraduate major adviser. Appropriate courses in other
departments include relevant courses in anthropology, psychology, and computer
science.
Language Concentration. In addition to the eight required courses in linguis-
tics, at least two semesters in a foreign language at the level of 300 or higher and two
semesters in another language at the level of 200 or higher. Chinese and Sanskrit
are especially recommended.
Textual Semiotics Concentration. At least two semesters in a foreign language
at the level of 300 or higher and at least two courses in textual semiotics. The latter.
LINGUISTICS AND SEMIOTICS 36 1
which may be counted among the eight required courses in hnguistics,may be any
two of the following: English 396 (Language and Philosophy in Literature), 414
(Hermeneutics and Linguistic Anthropology), 420 (Literary Semiotics), and
French 49 1 (Text, Textuality, Literary Modernity).
In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students must
satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 60 semester
hours outside the departmental requirements for a total program of at least 120
semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 63-84.
Honors Program. The primary purpose of the Honors Program is to provide
selected undergraduate majors with an opportunity to receive advanced training,
particularly in the planning and execution of independent research within their
chosen areas of specialization in linguistics. A secondary purpose of the program is
to establish an administrative framework for the formal recognition of outstand-
ing students. Majors considering a career in linguistics are strongly encouraged to
apply, as are all others who desire the experience of an intensive, individual
research project as part of their undergraduate education.
Application to the Honors Program should be made in person to the under-
graduate ad iser no later than the tenth week of the second semester of a student's
junior year. In support of the application, the student must prepare a brief
description of the proposed research project signed by the faculty member who is
to supervise the work. Acceptance into the program is at the discretion of the
linguistics faculty. A statement of eligibility requirements and program require-
ments is available in the departmental office.
Graduate Program. The graduate program admits students planning to study
for the Ph.D. degree on a full-time basis. It is structured to ensure for each student a
thorough grounding in general linguistics and a sound introduction to advanced
research in some field of special interest. Linguistics at Rice is treated as an
inherently interdisciplinary field, with connections not only to language and
literature studies, but also to psychology, anthropology, computer science, and
philosophy. Study of computer science enhances a student's career opportunities
as well as his or her research skills. Semiotics, as practiced at Rice, is the still
broader field resulting from the extension of the concepts and analytical tools of
linguistics to the broader class of languagelike systems in general, including literary
and artistic works and other products of human culture as well as information
systems occurring in nature.
Undergraduate preparation need not include linguistics courses as such but
should include courses in at least two of the following areas: anthropology, cogni-
tive science, computer science, electrical engineering, foreign languages, logic,
discrete mathematics, philosophy, and psychology. Fellowships are available for
especially well-qualified students.
During the first year of residence, each entering graduate student will work
closely with the linguistics graduate adviser to choose a plan of study congruent
with the demands of the program and with his or her individual interests. Subse-
quent training is by course work, seminars, independent field study, and guided
research. Students are encouraged to select areas of specialization that fit the
research interests and activities of the faculty.
All students are expected to acquire a command of general linguistics and to
select one or two areas of concentration. Recommended areas of concentration
are:
362 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
Anthropological Linguistics Germanic Linguistics
Cognitive Science Semiotics
Computational Linguistics Romance Linguistics
English Linguistics
At the end of the second semester of residence, each student is required to
undergo an oral qualifying examination. The purpose of this examination is to
assess the student's progress and potential as well as to identify areas of strengths
and weaknesses. Continuation to the second year requires satisfactory perform-
ance on this examination. Students who pass with distinction are urged to go on
directly to the Ph.D. degree. Others are eligible for a master's degree upon
completion of an appropriate thesis.
Following successful completion of the qualifying examination, each student,
on the basis of discussions with faculty members, and in accordance with his or her
proposed area of concentration, selects a committee of advisers from among the
faculty, typically a major adviser and two or three minor advisers. The major
adviser will act as chairman of the committee. During the student's tenure in the
program, the committee members serve as mentors and assist the student in
designing an individually tailored program of advanced studies and research. The
composition of the committee can be changed at any time upon agreement
between the student and the advisers. Emphasis is placed on a close working
relationship between the student and the members of this special committee.
On completion of the required course work and by agreement of the special
committee, the student presents himself or herself to the faculty for a public
comprehensive examination. This examination consists of written and oral parts
and covers general linguistics and the area(s) of concentration. Responsibility for
administering the examination and the determination of the results rest with the
student's special committee. The linguistics graduate adviser is an ex-officio
member of each examining committee.
For the Ph.D. degree, competence in two foreign research languages is re-
quired. In addition, a structural knowledge of a non-Indo-European language is
expected. The appropriateness of the languages is determined in consultation with
the graduate adviser, and in some cases specific research languages may be
required because of the student's research area.
In addition to formal instruction, graduate students are given the opportunity
to gain teaching experience by participating with the faculty in the design of
courses and instruction of undergraduate students.
Each student is expected to present a dissertation research proposal to his or
her special committee, normally by the time of the comprehensive examination.
Such a proposal is required for admission to candidacy, and it must be approved by
the student's special committee. At this time a dissertation adviser is selected.
Normally, this is the chairman of the special committee, but with the agreement of
the student and the committee members, a different dissertation adviser may be
selected from within or from outside the special committee. Each student presents
himself or herself for a public examination in defense of the completed disserta-
tion. Responsibility for accepting the dissertation rests with the special committee.

Degrees Offered: B.A., M.A., Ph.D.
Undergraduate Program. There are two programs for students majoring in
mathematics.
1 . Regular major. Mathematics 101, 1 02, 2 1 1 , 2 1 2; or 22 1 , 222; and at least
24 semester hours (eight courses) in courses numbered 300 or above in the
Department of Mathematics. Students can receive advanced placement
credit for Mathematics 1 0 1 by achieving a score of 4 or 5 on the AP AB
level test or for Mathematics 1 0 1 and 1 02 by achieving a score of 4 or 5 on
the BC level test. Students who have had calculus but have not taken the
AP test may petition the Department of Mathematics for a waiver of the
calculus requirements for a major in mathematics. Entering students are
encouraged to enroll in the most advanced course commensurate with
their background, and thorough advice is available from the mathematics
faculty during Freshman Week.
2. Double major. The requirements for the double major are the same as
above with the exception that up to nine of the 24 semester hours
numbered 300 or above can be replaced by approved mathematics-
related courses.
In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students must
also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 60 semester
hours outside the departmental requirements for a total program of at least 120
semester hours. See Degree Requi -ments and Majors, pages 63-84.
Graduate Program. Admission to graduate study in mathematics will be
granted to a limited number of students who have indicated ability for advanced
and original work. Normally, one or two years are required after the bachelor's
degree to obtain an M. A. degree and three or four years to obtain a Ph.D. An M. A.
is not a prerequisite for the Ph.D.
A number of graduate scholarships and fellowships are available and will be
awarded on the basis of merit. As part of the graduate education in mathematics,
each graduate student is normally expected to engage in teaching or other instruc-
tional duties. Generally, less than six hours a week is devoted to such duties.
Qualifying Examinations. The qualifying examinations in mathematics con-
sist of two parts: the general examination and the advanced examination.
MATHEMATICS 371
1 . General examination. It consists of three parts, covering algebra, analysis,
and topology. The examination will be given three times a year, in mid-
September and in mid-January, and at the end of the academic year. A
student should take this examination after the third semester of graduate
study or sooner. A student who fails one or more parts of the general
examination may, with the approval of the departmental graduate com-
mittee, be allowed to retake the appropriate part(s) at the next scheduled
examination time. A student generally will not be allowed to take any part
of the general examination more than twice.
2. Advanced oral examination. After completing the general examination,
the student should prepare for an advanced oral examination by selecting
some special field (e.g., homotopy theory, several complex variables,
group theory, etc.) and submitting the topic to the departmental graduate
committee for approval. The time of the advanced examination will be
scheduled by the graduate committee and will normally be within six to
nine months after the general examination. A student who fails the
advanced examination may, with the approval of the graduate commit-
tee, be allowed to retake it (on the same or possibly a different topic) but
will generally not be allowed to take the advanced examination more than
twice.
Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts:
1. Satisfactory completion (grade of "B" or better) of a course of study
approved by the department and fulfillment of the general rules of the
University (described on pages 1 36- 1 39). Transfer of credits from anoth-
er university will be allowed only when approved by both the department
and the University Graduate Council.
2. Satisfactory performance on an examination in at least one approved
foreign language (French, German, or Russian).
Other requirements for the master's degree may be satisfied in either of the
following ways:
1 . Completion of all the requirements for qualification as a candidate for the
doctoral degree as given below.
2. Presentation and oral defense of an original thesis acceptable to the
department.

Degrees Offered: B.A.; B.Mus.; B.Mus./M.Mus., (simultaneously); M.Mus.;
D.M.A.
The Shepherd School of Music is committed to the highest quality education
of musicians and offers both professional training and a broad liberal arts curricu-
lum at the undergraduate level. At the graduate level, it offers professional music
training for qualified students in programs of performance, creativity, and
scholarship.
Degrees Offered. The Shepherd School of Music offers four degrees: Bachelor
of Arts degree in music; the Bachelor of Music degree in performance, composi-
tion, music history, and music theory; the Master of Music degree in performance,
composition, choral and instrumental conducting, musicology, and music theory;
and the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in composition and selected areas of
performance. Normally, four years are required for the bachelor's degrees and two
years for the master's. Qualified students may elect an honors program that leads
to the simultaneous awarding of the Bachelor of Music and Master of Music
degrees after five years of study.
Admission. An audition, either in person or on tape, and a theory evaluation
are required of each undergraduate applicant. Undergraduate admission is deter-
mined jointly by the Shepherd School faculty and by the Admission Committee of
Rice University, which bases its evaluation upon successful academic achieve-
ment and standard college admission indices.
Transfer students from other colleges, conservatories, and universities are
evaluated in terms of prior preparation, which may reduce the required period of
study at Rice. An audition, personal or taped, and placement exams in both music
history and music theory are required of transfer applicants.
An audition or personal interview, and placement exams in music history and
music theory are required of graduate applicants. The Graduate Record Examina-
tion, including the advanced music tests, is required of graduate applicants in
musicology, theory, and composition.
Curriculum Design. Undergraduate curricula consist of core music courses,
applied music, other required music courses, chamber music and large ensembles,
378 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
non-music courses as specified by the University, and electives. Music majors are
entitled to one hour of private lessons each week each semester they are enrolled as
a music major. Private or group lessons beyond this may result in additional fees.
After the required four semesters of instrumental or vocal study, students in the
B.A. in music program who wish to continue taking private lessons must secure
permission from the Dean's Office. All undergraduate majors are required to take
the following core courses:
Music Theory: 21 1, 212, 31 1, 312, 41 1
Music History: 22 1 , 222, 32 1 , 322, 42 1
Aural Skills: 231, 232, 331, 332, 431
Students in the B.A. in music program take all of the above, with the exception
of Aural Skills 33 1,332, and 43 1 . Requirements in other music areas vary with the
degree program. Further information on curricular requirements for all majors
and degree programs may be obtained from The Shepherd School of Music.
Information on University Distribution Requirements and Foundation
courses may be found elsewhere in this catalogue. For music majors, 6 hours of
music history may be counted as humanities (Group I, 2).
The B.Mus./M.Mus. program includes the core curriculum and an advanced
curriculum. The first five semesters parallel the core curriculum of the four-year
degrees. The sixth semester is a transitional semester in which the student must
qualify for formal admission to candidacy for the master's degree as well as begin
work in the advanced curriculum. If qualifying does not take place by the end of the
sixth semester, the student is not allowed to register for the advanced curriculum
without special permission. At least five distribution courses (preferably six) must
be completed by the end of the sixth semester before the student is considered for
formal admission to candidacy for the master's degree.
The final two years are devoted to the advanced curriculum, in which the
student concentrates on creativity, performance, or research supported by labora-
tory or performing ensembles, theory and history seminars, and professional
apprenticeships. Apprenticeships may involve a diversity of professional activi-
ties as appropriate for the individual. These may include participation with major
or civic orchestras, choirs, or opera theaters; off-campus solo and small ensemble
performances; conducting apprenticeships with professional orchestras, operas,
or ballet companies; composition for films, television, public schools, and for
ensembles in residence; and research in major national and international libraries.
It is the responsibility of students to arrange their apprenticeships. Whenever
possible, faculty members assist students in making arrangements for apprentice-
ships. These and any other specialized studies must be engaged by the individual
student with the approval of the faculty.
Special Examinations:
1 . At the end of each semester, a jury examination is given in applied music
over the material studied during the semester.
2. Keyboard proficiency is required of all degree candidates except B.A.
students and must be satisfied by examination. If the student has little or
no knowledge of the keyboard, enrollment in secondary piano beginning
in the student's first semester is encouraged until the examination re-
quirements are met.
THE SHEPHERD SCHOOL OF MUSIC 379
3. Students on the five-year program must take a qualifying examination no
later than the sixth semester to determine admissibility to the student's
preferred major area in the advanced curriculum. For performance ma-
jors, this examination consists of the qualifying recital and an oral exami-
nation in music history and music theory based on the compositions to be
performed on the qualifying recital. The Graduate Record Examination
is required by the conclusion of the sixth semester for music history,
theory, and composition majors.
Performance and Large Ensembles. Students are expected to perform fre-
quently during their residence at Rice. Performance majors must present at least
two full recitals. Composition and conducting students are expected to present
recitals as specified by their degree programs. Students are expected to attend both
faculty and student recitals. In addition, all music majors are required to partici-
pate in the school's conducted ensembles as assigned.
Thesis. The master's degree for composition, conducting, music history, and
theory majors assumes a high level of scholarship A thesis is required of music
history and theory majors. An original work of extended scope is required of
composition majors. Conducting majors must present either an extended compo-
sition or project.
Warning, Music School Probation, Discontinuation. A student performing
unsatisfactorily in one or more courses at the midterm period may be placed on
warning. If at the end of the semester significant improvement has not been shown,
the student may be placed on music probation. A student may be placed directly on
probation without warning. Probation is a more serious status than warning, and it
signifies that the student's work has been sufficiently unsatisfactory to preclude
graduation unless significant improvement is achieved promptly. A student on
music probation may be absent from class only for extraordinary reasons and may
not represent the school in any public function not directly a part of a degree
program.
If at the conclusion of the probationary period the student has not shown
marked improvement, the student may be discontinued from the school as a music
major. Any student discontinued as a music major but not on academic suspension
may elect a major elsewhere in the University, subject to the requirements of the
major department or school.
A minimum grade of B- is expected of all music students in their major applied
area. A grade of C will be evaluated in the following manner. If in the first five
semesters of an undergraduate degree program a student receives a grade of C in
his applied area, he will be placed on music warning. If the student receives a
second C, he will be placed on music probation. With a third C in his major applied
area, the student will be discontinued as a music major.
Courses for Non-majors. Non-majors will find the following courses designed
for the general student: Music 1 1 7, 1 1 8; 224; 225; 307, 308; 3 1 7, 3 1 8; 327, 328;
334, 335; individual instruction in all instruments: Music 141-197.
In addition, other music courses may be taken by the non-major with the
permission of the instructor and approval of the Dean of the Shepherd School.
Musical Opportunities. Musical and educational opportunities are afforded
the student both on campus and in the greater Houston area. A visiting lecturer
380 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION

Assistant Professors Sonntag, Morales, and Dawson
The Department of Naval Science is administered by a senior U.S. naval
officer, assisted by officers and enlisted personnel of the U.S. Navy and Marine
Corps.
There are two categories of NROTC students: (1) scholarship, (2)
nonscholarship.
Scholarship Students. A scholarship NROTC student is appointed a midship-
man, U.S. Naval Reserve, on a nationwide competitive basis and receives retainer
pay at the rate of $100 per month for a maximum of four academic years, with all
tuition, fees, books, and equipment paid for by the government. Midshipmen are
required to complete prescribed naval science courses, participate in drills and
three summer cruises, and, upon graduation with a baccalaureate or advanced
degree, to accept a regular commission as ensign in the U.S. Navy or second
lieutenant in the U.S. MariiiC Corps.
Nonscholarship Students. Nonscholarship students are civilian college stu-
dents who enter into a mutual contract with the Secretary of the Navy in which they
take naval science courses and participate in drills and one summer training cruise.
In return, the Navy pays the student $ 1 00 per month during the junior and senior
years and offers a reserve commission in the Navy or Marine Corps upon gradua-
tion. Nonscholarship students may, on a local, competitive basis, be recommend-
ed for scholarship status by the professor of naval science.
Two- Year Program Students. Interested students may, in their sophomore
year (junior year for five-year students at Rice), apply for the two-year NROTC
program. A nationwide competition will initially determine their scholarship or
nonscholarship status (see above). Following selection, applicants attend a six-
week Naval Science Institute (NSI) at Newport, Rhode Island, during July and
August, which is designed to provide students with course material and training
normally covered during the first two years of the regular NROTC program.
NAVAL SCIENCE 395
Successful completion of NSI qualifies the student for enrollment in the advanced
NROTC on an equal footing with the four-year students. About 1 5 percent of the
nonscholarship students finishing NSI may be offered a two-year NROTC scholar-
ship at that time. Additional scholarships may be awarded to the others from time
to time upon the recommendation of the professor of naval science at Rice.
U.S. Marine Corps. NROTC students, either scholarship or nonscholarship,
may apply for the Marine Corps program. Such selectees are referred to as Marine
Corps option students and attend separate classes under a marine officer instruc-
tor during their junior and senior years.

Undergraduate Program. Students majoring in political science are required
to complete thirty semester hours (ten courses) in the field. All majors must also
complete six semester hours (two courses) of advanced work, selected with the
advice of the department, in any of the following fields: anthropology, economics,
history, philosophy, psychology, or sociology.
Double majors in one of the above fields may automatically substitute six
semester hours (two courses) in upper level courses in their second field for six of
the required 30 semester hours in political science courses. Double majors whose
second major is managerial studies or policy studies may automatically substitute
three hours (one course). Double majors whose second field is not listed above
normally are required to take 30 semester hours (ten courses) in political science.
They may petition for substitution of courses in other fields, but such substitutions
are permitted only when the course to be substituted has a close and significant
relationship to political science.
Within the major, each student is encouraged to take a program of courses that
provides both a broad understanding of the field and a specialized knowledge of
some portion of it. Specific distribution requirements are minimal. However,
students are required to take at least one course in any four of the six areas listed
below:
1. American politics 5. Normative political theory
2. Comparative government 6. Empirical theory and
3. Law ^ ;s: ,■^'...■■ methodology
4. International relations
Political Science 209, 210,211, and 2 1 2 constitute the introductory courses in
normative theory, American politics, international relations, and comparative
government, respectively. Prospective majors are encouraged to take one or more
of these courses, preferably in their first or second year. However, none is required
of majors, except that Political Science 2 1 0 is the course that meets the Texas state
licensing requirements in political science for teachers. It should be noted that no
more than three of the above introductory courses may be counted toward the
major, and that Political Science 310 may not be counted toward the major.
Two of the political science courses must be seminars (courses at the 400 or
500 level). A student may not take both seminars from the same faculty member.
Reading courses will not satisfy this requirement. Students may not normally
substitute a course in another department to meet this requirement. Students
participating in the honors program (see below) are additionally required to take
one seminar. Note that all courses at the 500 level require the student to obtain the
POLITICAL SCIENCE 409
permission of the instructor before registering, and that all seminars have an
enrollment limit of 20.
In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students must
also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 60 semester
hours outside the departmental requirements for a total program of at least 120
semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 63-84.
Honors Program. Political science majors who qualify may enter an honors
program. The program consists of (1) a one-semester reading course in the junior
year (taken either term) which will serve as the basis for drawing up a prospectus
for the senior essay, plus (2) the writing of the essay, normally in the senior year.
The nine semester hours completed will count toward the thirty semester hours
required for the major and are counted for purposes of distribution in the appro-
priate area within the major.
.A-dmission to the honors program occurs, as a rule, in the spring of the
sophomore year at the time majors are selected. Others may be admitted during the
junior year. Double majors are eligible for the program. Admission requires the
approval of the departmental director of undergraduate studies, Mr. Cuthbertson.
Interdisciplinary' Programs. The Department of Political Science participates
in the interdepartmental programs in managerial studies and policy studies. See
description of these programs on pages 72 and 369 for managerial studies, and 73
and 407 for policy studies.
Graduate Program. The Department of Political Science offers a graduate
program leading to the M.A. and the Ph.D. The Ph.D. student is expected to
complete 48 semester hours in advanced courses or seminars prior to candidacy
and to present a dissertation displaying original research. Normally, the student
takes the core courses in the three general fields of American government, compar-
ative government, and international relations. The student takes additional course
work and comprehensive examinations in two of these three fields. Before taking
the comprehensive examinations, the student is expected to complete a course in
statistical analysis, demonstrate some familiarity with traditional political theory,
satisfy the language or skill requirement in his or her major field, and complete all
course requirements, including a two-semester sequence in scope and methods.
Specific courses are chosen in consultation with the faculty adviser. A limited
master's program also is offered by the department, consisting of three semesters
of full-time study. The course work for the master's degree focuses primarily upon
the student's major field. The third semester is devoted largely to the preparation
of a thesis.

Adjunct Assistant Professor Sanborn
Lecturers Benjamin, Dunne, T.F. Freeman, and Karff
Adjunct Lecturer Heitman
Degrees Offered: B.A., M.A., Ph.D.
Undergraduate Program. All undergraduates majoring in religious studies are
expected to enroll in one of the introductory courses offered at the first-or second-
year level. A total of 24 semester hours (eight courses) in advanced courses are
required for completion of the major. At least six semester hours (two courses) are
to be elected in each of the following areas represented in the Department:
1 . Historical and Biblical studies
2. Interpretation, theology, comparative religions
3. Religion in the modern world
Qualified upperclass students are given an opportunity to engage in indepen-
dent work. Related courses offered by other departments may be taken for credit in
religious studies with the approval of the major adviser.
In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students must also
satisfy the distribution requirements and complete no fewer than 60 semester
hours outside the departmental requirements for a total program of at least 120
semester hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 63-84.
Graduate Program. The Department of Religious Studies offers graduate work
in a variety of fields: Judeo-Christian origins, church history, philosophy of
religion (including theology), and ethics (including medical ethics). In keeping
with the traditions of Rice University, study and research are not confessionally
oriented. The awarding of advanced degrees is not based solely on the accumula-
tion of credits or compliance with formal requirements. Course plans are deter-
mined according to the preparation, needs, and interests of the candidate. A
capacity for independent work is considered essential to study in the department.
426 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
Cooperative Graduate Study in Medical Ethics. Under an agreement with the
University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, a cooperative program of
graduate study in medical ethics is offered, leading to the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees
from Rice University.
Clinical experience and case studies are provided through the Health Science
Center's Program in Humanities and Technology in Medicine. Central to the
cooperative plan is the interdisciplinary seminar in medical ethics (two semesters),
with students and instructors from both institutions. Thus students from the
Department of Religious Studies have the opportunity to work with students from
such disciplines as medicine, nursing, and public health.
Library resources of the Health Science Center are open to Rice graduate
students in medical ethics.
Fellowship in Religious Studies for Study Abroad. A fellowship has been
established to encourage advanced students to spend a year in another university,
in most cases after they have completed their comprehensive qualifying examina-
tions for the Ph.D. degree. It is available equally to persons in any field of study
offered in the department. The recipient is chosen by faculty members responsible
for graduate work. The cost of air travel is paid in addition to a monthly stipend.
Additional costs, such as tuition for study at particular institutes, are considered
on a case-to-case basis. Award is made annually, subject to availability of funds.
Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts:
1 . Completion with high standing of a program approved by the depart-
ment; normally, this includes 24 semester hours in advanced courses plus
thesis work.
2. Satisfactory performance on a reading examination in French or
German.
3. Satisfactory performance on preliminary written and oral examinations
in the field of religious studies; normally, these include biblical studies,
church history, philosophy of religion (including theology), and ethics,
with detailed attention to the area of thesis specialization.
4. Completion of an acceptable thesis.
5. Satisfactory performance on a final oral examination.
Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy:
1 . Completion with high standing of a program approved by the depart-
ment; normally, this includes 54 semester hours of course work, counting
those given for the degree of Master of Arts. Six of these semester hours
may be waived upon petition to the graduate faculty after the first year.
Normal minimum residence is at least two years, even for candidates
already holding advanced degrees.
2. Satisfactory performance on a reading examination in both French and
German.
3. Satisfactory performance on preliminary written and oral examinations
in religious studies. Candidates for the doctoral degree are expected to
prepare themselves for six qualifying examinations, four of which are to
cover the basic areas of biblical studies, church history, philosophy of
religion (including theology), and ethics; the other two are to be taken in
the major area of concentration.
RELIGIOUS STUDIES 427
4. Completion of a formal proposal and dissertation, both to be approved by

Undergraduate Program. The major is designed to enable students to under-
stand the nature of human societies as an important part of a liberal education, as a
foundation for a variety of occupations, and as preparation for graduate study. The
program provides students with considerable latitude in pursuing substantive
interests, while ensuring a basic familiarity with theoretical approaches and issues
of methodology. Majors in sociology are not required to take a foreign language;
those planning graduate study, however, should be aware that many graduate
departments of sociology require demonstrated competence in at least one foreign
language. A minimum of 27 semester hours (nine courses) in sociology must be
passed, of which at least 2 1 semester hours (seven courses) must be at the advanced
level. In addition to the departmental requirements for the major, students must
also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete at least 60 semester hours
outside the departmental requirements for a total program of at least 1 20 semester
hours. See Degree Requirements and Majors, pages 63-84.
Requirements for the major in sociology are: ( 1 ) Sociology 203; (2) at least one
of the two courses emphasizing theoretical approaches. Sociology 3 1 7 or 353; (3)
Sociology 42 1 ; and (4) at least 1 8 semester hours (six courses) in the substantive
areas of sociological specialization. A statistics course such as Mathematical
Sciences 280, 30 1 , 38 1 , 480, or 48 1 or an independent study course (Sociology 403,
404, 493, 494) may be used as one of these.
All sociology courses listed are regularly offered by the present faculty, al-
though not necessarily every year. Additional courses may be offered with the
addition of new faculty or variations in present course assignments; similarly,
some courses may be discontinued from the regular offerings. It is the responsibili-
ty of the student to consult the listing of University distribution requirements
before registering in order to satisfy all the requirements for his or her degree. The
registration of every sociology major must be signed by the departmental adviser,
Professor Klineberg.
Honors Program. The honors program is designed to ( 1 ) provide undergradu-
ates whose primary concentration is in the field of sociology with the opportunity
to deepen their understanding of the sociological perspective through a two-
semester program of directed independent research and writing, and (2) provide
an opportunity for the recognition of undergraduates who have demonstrated
unusual competence in sociology and capacity for sustained independent research.
To be eligible for the program, a student must have maintained a "B" average
in at least four sociology courses beyond the introductory level. During the first
semester of the junior year, students who meet this requirement are invited to
submit, no later than two weeks prior to registration for the spring semester, a
SOCIOLOGY 435
description of their proposed research project to the Undergraduate Honors
Committee (Professor Stephen KJineberg, chair). This committee, in consultation
with the candidate, evaluates the proposal in terms of both its feasibility and its
sociological significance. Upon acceptance into the program, the student is as-
signed a faculty adviser to supervise the student's independent research and the
selection of further courses relevant to the project. It is expected that all honors
candidates will have completed Sociology 421 before beginning their second
semester of honors research.
Honor students register for two successive semesters of directed honors
research (Sociology 493, 494). The first semester is normally devoted to a review of
the relevant literature and the preparation of a detailed outline of the planned
research. The research itself is normally carried out during the second semester
and written up as a completed honors thesis by the end of that period.
The thesis is read and evaluated by two other faculty members in addition to
the student's primary adviser and followed by an oral examination open to the
public. These three faculty members share responsibility for determining depart-
mental honors based on the student's performance in the program as a whole.

enrolled in the space physics option. The department has prepared a list of such
courses and should be consulted prior to registration. In addition to the depart-
mental requirements for the major, students must also satisfy the distribution
requirements and complete no fewer than 60 semester hours outside the depart-
mental requirements for a total program of at least 1 30 semester hours. See Degree
Requirements and Majors, pages 63-84.
Graduate Program. Research opportunities exist for graduate studies leading
to degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of
Space Physics and Astronomy. To gain such a degree, a student must be knowl-
edgeable in many areas of space physics and astronomy and expert in at least one.
Because of the interdisciplinary nature of the Department's activities, holders
of bachelor's degrees in astronomy, chemistry, electrical engineering, geophysics,
physics, or any of several other scientific and engineering disciplines may apply for
admission to graduate study in the department. Research programs in the Depart-
ment of Space Physics and Astronomy include astronomy, astrophysics, atmos-
pheric electricity, atomic physics, experimental and theoretical space plasma
physics, meteoritics, and planetary atmospheres.
The requirements for M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are outlined below. A booklet
giving more detailed and specific information is available from the departmental
office.
Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science. Candidates for the master's
degree must complete successfully at least 30 semester hours of approved graduate
level studies and must demonstrate an understanding of physics and astronomy in
an oral examination by their faculty committee. They must prepare a written thesis
on an original research topic and defend the thesis orally.
Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The basic requirement
for a doctorate is demonstration of the capacity for independent, original research.
Additional formal requirements are indicated below.
A student is normally admitted to candidacy for the Ph.D. degree by satisfying
the requirements for the M.S. degree in space physics and astronomy as outlined
above. A student who already holds a recognized M.S. degree or who does not
desire to receive a master's degree may become a candidate for the Ph.D. through
procedures described in the booklet available from the departmental office.
Candidates who hold a master's degree could possibly complete requirements
for the doctorate in two years; however, a minimum of three years' graduate study
is normally required. Students must complete at least 60 semester hours of
approved graduate level studies, prepare a thesis on an original research topic, and
defend the thesis orally. The thesis must be of a quality acceptable for publication
in a reputable scientific journal. Further details of research programs in space
physics and astronomy and departmental degree requirements are contained in a
pamphlet available on request from the Department of Space Physics and
Astronomy.

Undergraduate Program.
The Department's goals are to acquaint students with the role played in the
modem world by probabilistic and statistical ideas and methods, to provide
instruction in the theory and application of techniques that have been found to be
commonly useful, and to train research workers in statistics. The undergraduate
statistics program is flexible and may be oriented toward theoretical or applied
training or toward joint work in a related department, such as Economics, Educa-
tion, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mathematical Sciences, Political Sci-
ence, and Psychology.
1 . Students normally take seven basic courses:
Calculus: Mathematics 101, 102
Differential equations and linear algebra: Mathematics 2 1 1
Computer programming: Computer Science 2 1 0 or 2 11 or Mathematical
Sciences 223
Model building: Statistics 300 or 301
Introduction to Probability and Statistics: Statistics 382
Data Analysis: Statistics 480
2. Students also take five elective courses from the Statistics Department (or
other Departments with approval from their advisor) at the 300 level or
higher.
Mathematically oriented students should also take Mathematics 2 1 2 and 355
(or Mathematical Sciences 3 1 0). In addition to the departmental requirements for
the major, students must also satisfy the distribution requirements and complete
no fewer than 60 semester hours outside the departmental requirements for a total
program of at least 120 semester hours.
Graduate Program. Graduate programs at three levels are offered: master's
without thesis (M.Stat), master's with thesis (M.A.), and doctoral degree (Ph.D.).
Applicants should request application materials and provide Graduate Record
Examination scores (quantitative, verbal, and advanced), transcripts, three letters
of recommendation, and TOEFL scores when appropriate. Support is available for
well-qualified doctoral students.
Thirty semester hours of approved course work must be completed for master
level degrees, with 90 hours required for the doctoral degree. Course work is
452 COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
expected at the 400-level and above, but two approved 300-level courses may be
offered. An original thesis with public oral defense is required for the M.A. and
Ph.D. degrees. Doctoral students must perform satisfactorily on preliminary and
qualifying examinations, and pass a reading examination in one foreign language.
