I was born and brought up in Memphis, and as the saying goes, 'There's no place like home.' So I'm wondering, what are some highly-rated colleges near Memphis where I can further my education? My main focus would be on business studies.
Sure, Memphis is home to numerous colleges and universities, many of which have excellent business programs.
Firstly, the University of Memphis's Fogelman College of Business and Economics is worth considering. It offers a variety of undergraduate business specializations including accounting, business information and technology, finance, management, and marketing.
Rhodes College is another institution in Memphis to consider. While it doesn't traditionally offer a business major, it does provide an Economics and Business major which provides a great foundation in understanding the fundamentals of business.
A little further out from Memphis, but still within Tennessee, you could explore Vanderbilt University in Nashville. It's renowned for its prestigious Owen Graduate School of Management.
In nearby Mississippi, The University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) and Mississippi State University both have lauded business schools. On the flip side, in Arkansas, the University of Arkansas offers the Sam M. Walton College of Business, which is highly recognized.
Remember, in addition to the program itself, consider the culture, size, and other opportunities at the university that could influence your college experience. Visit campuses if you can, speak to current students or alumni, and in general, understand what atmosphere you're most likely to thrive in. Good luck with your search!
