Rice's cooperative atmosphere played a pivotal role in advancing nanotechnology, enabling two Nobel Prize winners to uncover buckminsterfullerene. For years, the university's collaborative spirit has effectively reduced divisions across research fields. Chemistry professors hold positions in four of the six Natural Sciences departments and six Engineering School departments. Rather than following a fixed curriculum, Rice chemistry students design personalized programs by selecting any six science or engineering courses. This adaptable approach perfectly serves chemists exploring interdisciplinary paths and professionals transitioning into chemistry from other fields.
