Owl2014 and Ottoline - while Rice awards a variety of degrees, it is an engineering/Science school for the most part. The humanities and arts do not receive nearly the same amount of funding as the SE departments do. (This excludes the archi and music program).

Having been a member of both the engineering and the Visual and Dramatic Arts department (still assist the VADA department in the theatre aspect) there is a large discrepancy. Look at the Media center and then look at the new Brockman Hall for Physics.

Rice is not as much of an engineering school as say, Caltech, but the SE programs are some of the strongest and from the department standpoint, most important.
