Department websites are a great place to find information about undergraduate advising, research and faculty interests. The links below will help current Rice students: find a department or program of interest, sign up for mailing lists to receive advising information and undergraduate research and job opportunities, search faculty profiles for information about their research programs, and direct questions about undergraduate research to the appropriate departmental contacts.
The following resources have been created for current Rice undergraduate students. If you are a prospective student with questions about research opportunities in Natural Sciences at Rice, please contact us at nsci@rice.edu.
