Founded in 1866 by missionaries, Rust College remains one of the oldest historically black colleges and has operated continuously for over 140 years. Students enjoy small classes in majors that typically involve lecture halls at other schools, especially in computer science, engineering, biology, and business. Although the Rust College campus is technically located in Holly Springs, Mississippi, most students consider their school part of the Memphis, Tennessee region.Like other historically black colleges, Rust plays a major role in shaping new generations of leaders in its community. However, Rust College takes an innovative and flexible approach to career education by scheduling classes in eight week modules instead of using a traditional semester calendar. Under this system, Rust can offer more internships and work experiences while enabling students to transfer into degree programs easily throughout the year.
