Credit for Research/Creative Work
Research courses, studio courses, and thesis courses provide a framework for learning through these experiences. There are multiple Rice courses through which you can receive course credit for your research or internship. To find the best match, first start in your home department so that you may receive credit toward your major (if possible). All departments offer students credit-bearing opportunities for undergraduate research, internship, and/or creative work. Students who will be receiving financial compensation for their research may still be eligible to enroll in a research or internship courses depending on departmental guidelines. Students requiring course credit one that does not fall within the requirements of a departmental course, should consider one of the other experiential education/internship/practicum courses at Rice, such as UNIV 295 and UNIV 301.
Fall 2019 research, studio, and thesis courses are listed below. Independent study and internship courses may also offer students opportunities to complete research or creative work projects. Many of these are still available in Fall 2020 but may have different formats. To explore options for enrolling and receiving course credit for research or creative work in these courses, students should contact the relevant faculty members.
