Rice University's first class started in 1912. Since that time the
university has been dedicated to excellence in undergraduate and graduate student
education and in research. As part of the accreditation process Rice began
conducting self studies in the 1960s. This intense look inward occurs every 10
years and examines all aspect of university life and activity, including
faculty, staff, students and infrastructure.
Rice University in Houston, Texas conducts a self study about every 10 years as part of an
accreditation process. The university takes an intensive look at its self and
examines all aspect of Rice university life and activity, including faculty, staff,
students and infrastructure. This collection contains the documents,
correspondence and corporate materials related to the self studies. The
collections includes 12 cubic feet of documents (24 boxes) and related
corporate materials for Rice self studies from 1963 to 1995.
This material is open for research.
Permission to publish from the the Self-Study records must be obtained
from the Woodson Research Center, Fondren Library, Rice University.
Materials were transfered from
the Rice administration directly to the Woodson Reserach Center.
The Rice University Self-Study records, UA 023, Woodson Research Center, Fondren
Library, Rice University
Collection acquired from Rice University administration.
The Woodson accessioned the self-study records in roughly ten-year
intervals following the cycle of self-studies. The materials were arranged in
logical series based on that ten-year cycle.
The Woodson expects to acquire future additions to this collection
following the pattern of the 10-year self-study cycle.
