 History Department offers one of the most popular undergraduate majors 
at Rice University-and also one of the most challenging. Our faculty 
offers outstanding geographical coverage of Asia and the Middle East, 
Latin America and the Caribbean, and Africa, in addition to Europe, the 
United States, and the Atlantic World. At least six of our faculty 
research primarily in periods before 1700, ranging from the Byzantine 
Empire to southern Africa to South Asia. Eight of our faculty have won 
prestigious prizes from Rice University or national organizations for 
their outstanding teaching and mentoring; every single one of our 
faculty score highly on Rice's student evaluations.</font>

 selected to write an honors thesis, as well as a wide range of other 
undergraduates, have access to generous funding for research around the

travel for our students wherever possible; recent destinations of our 
students include China, Brazil, France, the Netherlands, and Zambia. 
Each year, the department celebrates with its majors and award winners 
at our Senior Champagne Toast. Our majors go on to wide range of 
careers. Medicine, law, the study of history at the graduate level, and 
secondary school teaching are strongly represented; they have also made 
careers in print and television journalism, consulting, and small 
business, among many other fields.</font>
