<p>What are Rice's strongest departments, I am a really lost intl , thanks!!!</p>
<p>science, engineering, humanities</p>
<p>everything at rice is really damn good, but those 3 stand out more so, id say</p>
<p>Architecture, music etc</p>
<p>all.........</p>
<p>I disagree. Architecture is the most prominent (3rd in the nation). Rice is great, I'm not sure what prominence adds to your understanding of the university. Rice is known for being cerebral with a strong emphasis on the sciences. Its humanities programs are great, but this has been a more recent development than earlier in Rice's history.</p>
