Giving to Continuing Studies

Learning doesn’t end at graduation. The Susanne M. Glasscock School of Continuing Studies makes available the renowned scholarship and teaching excellence of Rice University to all adult learners. Share the benefits of lifelong personal and professional education with the entire community. The Continuing Studies program at Rice is supported solely by course fees and generous supporters who have helped us offer outstanding lecture series in art, history, cultural studies, science and many other important topics.
