If you’re looking at other small liberal arts colleges, then you know it’s rare to find one in a major city. We love that we’re located in the heart of Memphis, famously known as the Birthplace of Rock ‘n Roll and Home of the Blues. Memphis is a soulful city with a rich history and a passion for music, food, and community. Our location conveniently allows students to intern at Memphis staples like FedEx, St. Jude Children's Hospital, and the Memphis Zoo. Additionally, over 80 percent of our students are also giving back to the city of Memphis through community service. And, of course, students have fun, whether enjoying concerts at the Overton Park Shell, cheering on the Grizzlies, seeing shows at the historic Orpheum Theatre, taking in views of the Mississippi from Big River Crossing, or enjoying our famous BBQ. Memphis is a wonderful place to call home for your next four years. In fact, Rhodes students like it so much that more than 30 percent stay in Memphis after graduation to launch their careers and/or continue their education.
