Understanding the School of Humanities and Arts Student Handbook

The Humanities and Arts Undergraduate Advising Handbook is designed to help potential and current Humanities and Arts majors and minors, first years to seniors, craft their courses of study. While this handbook cannot trace every possible route through the rich and varied terrain of the humanities and arts, it serves as starting point while encouraging you to broaden your mind, ambitions, and experiences. Enclosed within the handbook are resources that speak to the particulars of all our school’s scholarly and creative offerings, useful contacts and resources, information on humanities research opportunities, internships and practica and other ways to stay in touch with what our school has to offer.

Given this handbook is an evolving document, envisioned as a resource relevant to you, reach out if you have ideas on how to make this resource better. Send your suggestions to humanities@rice.edu.
