A total of 11 faculty members serve the approximately 60 business and economics majors each year. Here classes can be held in either traditional classroom environments or in the computer labs. Many courses in statistics, finance and accounting utilize the computer center in order to equip students with the skills necessary to function efficiently in a business setting. Over half of all business majors will complete an internship while at Rhodes. Simultaneously, business majors will attend an internship class that provides a forum for teaching interviewing skills, discussing corporate dynamics and developing a resume.
Students also have the opportunity to begin their participation in professional organizations.
Rhodes hosts chapters of the American Marketing Society and the Institute of Management Accountants. Both organizations bring business leaders on campus to further students' career interests and provide networking opportunities. Graduate schools attended by recent graduates include Columbia, Duke, Emory, Harvard, University of North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Vanderbilt and Washington University. In the field of accountancy, Rhodes offers business majors the opportunity to participate in the College's only master's level program. Students may complete their Master of Science in Accounting by completing two additional semesters of course work.
