<p>hi everyone, im new to cc and im a junior seriously considering some colleges, including Rice. i know for sure that im going to major in computer science. does rice have a particular strength in computer science? i absolutely love rice and the residential college system, but i want to make sure it is strong in my area of study. thanks.</p>
<p>Rice has a great CS program.</p>
<p>Rice’s CS program is small but mighty (paraphrasing from various threads on the topic). I believe that the program is growing in size and strength. You can look up the classes available and major requirements on the Rice website. I believe though that these will possibly both change before you would be declaring a major.</p>
<p>^^^ I agree with the comments above. It’s a small program, but an excellent one. The small size allows for abundant research opportunities and close personal interaction with faculty. My son was a CS grad from Rice and is now pursuing a PhD from a top-ranked program. He received a fellowship from NSF as a result of the research he performed while at Rice. Many of his classmates have ended up working at big tech companies.</p>
