Additional information about Rice courses is available on the Rice Academic Information page. Course web pages are available for some HONS courses. Individual research projects form the program's core.
Research is pursued under the direction of a faculty member identified by the student.
This faculty member serves as mentor and meets regularly with the student. The program provides modest funds to support the research. Weekly class meetings occur for discussion of relevant topics and for student presentations. An oral presentation and scholarly manuscript describing the research project conclude the course.
