Rice University is one of the US’s leading wide-spectrum research universities located in Houston, Texas. Under their Department of Materials Science & NanoEngineering (MSNE), Rice offers two degrees, a Bachelor’s of Arts for students looking to pursue areas of interest outside of engineering and a Bachelor’s of Science for students interested in the professional practice of engineering or a career in academia. At Rice, “through a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary curriculum, our engineers are taught to embrace creative problem-solving techniques, hone leadership skills, and use their engineering abilities to tackle real-world issues.”
The B.A. degree, under the MSNE department, is highly flexible, involves way less technical content than the B.S. program, and allows students greater freedom to pursue areas of interest outside of engineering.
The B.S. MSNE degree program prepares graduates to succeed in their careers by equipping them with expertise sought by top graduate schools and corporations. Rice’s students demonstrate technical proficiency and professional achievement in their work through scientific inquiry.
