A Rhodes College education prepares students to embark on a fulfilling personal and professional life that will positively impact others. Our comprehensive, robust curriculum combines the best of a liberal arts education with practical, preprofessional programs that encourage students to explore their passions and discover the path that best matches their interests and talents. In the classroom, they learn such essential skills as effective communication, critical thinking, ethics, collaboration, and leadership, all of which will set them apart from other applicants. Our results speak for themselves.
The Career and Professional Development office is where preparation meets opportunity. The holistic support given to Rhodes students includes resume building and interview preparation, but the staff also connects students with opportunities to gain experience and develop contacts in their area of professional interest and then supports them personally as they achieve their goals.
We have the tools to help you become successful.
We advocate a four-year plan for your major- and career-exploration path. It is a tried and tested approach that has proven itself by yielding great results for our students. One year after earning their Rhodes degree, more than 99% of our graduates are employed and/or attending graduate school. Some employment highlights from the Class of 2023 include:
Rhodes Merit Pages are a quick and convenient way that we can share your accomplishments and accolades. We create a personalized Merit Page for you and share news about your achievements with your hometown newspapers and government officials, ensuring that your accomplishments are seen by potential employers, family, friends, and others in your community. You can tell your own story; Rhodes and Merit will publish it for you.
