The Career Ecosystem: Rhodes is highly intentional about bridging the gap between college and the workforce. They have robust infrastructure for internships and study abroad.
Built-In Guidance: Students aren’t left to navigate post-grad planning alone; the college features designated professional advisors specifically for law and medical school tracks.
The Syllabus AI Clause: In a very modern move, Rhodes requires an AI clause in syllabi so students clearly understand exactly what is expected of them regarding generative artificial intelligence in their coursework.
According to Fiske, Rhodes goes “head-to-head with Sewanee for the top spot in the pecking order of mid-South liberal arts colleges, with Rhodes the more progressive of the two. While Sewanee has a gorgeous rural campus, Rhodes has Memphis and its red-hot music scene. Natural and social sciences head the list of solid programs, and undergraduate research opportunities are plentiful. Strong honor system.”
Throw in Memphis’s music scene, Beale Street, barbecue, the blues, biology, business, chemistry, economics, English, history, music business, and psychology, and there’s something for every student at Rhodes.
