School of Humanities and Arts

Study of the humanities and arts matters more than ever in these times.

In our classrooms, studios, and arts labs, students from a range of Rice schools are inspired by our prize-winning faculty. With personalized mentorship, students learn new languages, explore new cultures, interpret and compare evidence, and often critique and debate the crucial issues facing society. Through these experiences, inside and outside of the classroom, our humanities and arts students develop durable skills to analyze critically, to communicate creatively and compellingly, and to lead thoughtfully and ethically.

Gifts to the School of Humanities and Arts Excellence Fund seed our strategic aspirations and support the most critical student, faculty and operational needs. Gifts to the Creative Writing Fund support our undergraduate and graduate Creative Writing programs, including our new Master of Fine Arts.
