<p>On the Rice CS site, it says Rice enrolled about 30 undergraduate students, and about 70 graduate students in CS department in 2008. At same year, there were 6 B.A and 10 B.S graduated in CS major. </p>
<p>It seems the CS department is quite small in the number of full time faculty. Does undergraduate CS student get enough attention from the professors? Why there is such a big difference between the CS students enrolled and CS students graduated in the same year?</p>
<p>They are not counting freshman and sophomore because you don’t declare till the end of sophomore year.</p>

<p>You mean half of the student decided not pursue CS after the sophomore? Also, there are almost double the number of graduate students than undergraduate. Can current or past Rice CS students make a comment?</p>
<p>No he means that freshmen and sophomores interested in CS are not counted as CS majors.
There are a total of 36 juniors and seniors (and probably 36 or more freshman and sophomores). This is consistent with 16 graduates (BS and BA) - it’s ~1/2 of the total juniors and seniors.</p>
