More than one hundred years ago, Meredith College opened with just over 200 women. Today, our student body has grown to include nearly 2,000 students, and we're nationally ranked. In fact, we've been named one of America's Best Colleges according to U.S. News, Forbes, and Princeton Review.
Meredith College is located in Raleigh, North Carolina's capital city. More than 115,000 college students reside in Raleigh and the Research Triangle Park area, the country's premiere research and development hub. Meredith's historic 225-acre campus includes a 1,200 seat amphitheater, seven residence halls and student apartments, student center, fitness center, athletic field and track complex.
In addition to providing recent graduates with strong job prospects, Raleigh's thriving local economy gives students the opportunity to receive valuable experience through powerful internships, which are available for all majors. Study abroad options for students include a semester-long program in Sansepolcro, Italy, with additional opportunities worldwide including Costa Rica, Iceland, and France.
At Meredith, our StrongPoints® program is a unique personal coaching model through which students identify their strengths and then build on them to prepare for the lives they want to lead after they graduate. More than 80 majors, minors, and academic programs give students a wide range of options for areas of study, and committed faculty help students make the most of their strong potential.
So what's the result of a Meredith education? Over the past five years, 92.2% of graduates are employed or pursuing graduate study within a few short months of graduation and 96% of our alumnae would choose Meredith again.
