Rice and Art?

<p>Out of all of my choices, I love Rice as a school the most. The academics impress me. I feel the atmosphere/environment best suits my personality and what I am looking for in a college experience. </p>

<p>I am most concerned though over the art department. Does anyone have any insight over it? I am interested in design and perhaps pursuing further studies in it in grad school. Rice does not offer instruction in design. I also love the humanities, which I feel Rice would be perfect for, though I don't know if careerwise, that is what I want to do.</p>

<p>Any comments/insight would be appreciated. :)</p>

<p>I have only taken one class in the arts department- Photography I. I loved that class and the prof was excellent. I don't really have much more experience. Here is a link to our professor evaluations that we turn into at the end of each semester <a href="http://www.ruf.rice.edu/%7Ereg/course_eval/#scanned%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~reg/course_eval/#scanned&lt;/a> They are excel files and you can look at the Art classes to get an idea of how we rate them (they are listed as ARTV). </p>

<p><a href="http://sa.rice.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://sa.rice.edu&lt;/a> also has a course guide with some reviews. </p>

<p>You can use this link <a href="http://courses.rice.edu/admweb/swkscat.main?p_term=200810%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://courses.rice.edu/admweb/swkscat.main?p_term=200810&lt;/a> to look up the course numbers because the excel sheet only provides the course number without the name.</p>

<p>Hope that helped.</p>
