As an Economics major, I am part of one of the largest majors at Rice. However, I’m still part of a minority. About a quarter of students graduate as Engineering majors, with many MANY more (myself included) who come in as Engineering and change their minds.

It’s difficult to find specific data, but an even larger portion of the student body is pre-med. If you combine these two subsets, you’ve got about half of campus. Throw in the non Premed hard science/math type majors (CAAM/Bioc/Geo/Biochem/Chem/Physics/Etc) and you’re sitting on a significant majority of Rice students.

It says something that the BRC was just finished being constructed, along with Brockman hall, while the History department has offices in dingy corners of Fondren library.
