Overview

Highlights

The Urban Studies program at Rhodes College provides an interdisciplinary learning experience grounded in the liberal arts and connected to concerns of the region and the world. Through integrative teaching and research, students develop and apply the skills needed to analyze the dynamic processes and structures of urban life and health as well as the ways that cities contribute to global change. Students engage fully with Memphis and the diversity of the mid-south region, as they learn to situate them within a global context. The majors combine coursework with urban field experiences, including internships, fellowships, and research with community partners.

Students and faculty alike have the opportunity to learn from and contribute to the rich, diverse culture and history of Memphis. Rhodes lies at the crux of Midtown and East Memphis, and the college partners with more than 400 businesses and nonprofits in the Memphis and larger Shelby County area through research, internships, and other forms of engagement.
