About Us

The mission of the Susanne M. Glasscock School of Continuing Studies is to further Rice University’s commitment to educational outreach by providing lifelong personal and professional development opportunities to the larger community. Established in 1967 with its first courses offered in 1968, the school now attracts just short of 20,000 enrollments each year to its non-credit and credit programs and is the leading university continuing education program in Houston. In 2006, Continuing Studies officially became the Susanne M. Glasscock School of Continuing Studies to honor a generous endowment gift from Houstonians and Rice alumni Melbern G. and Susanne M. Glasscock.
