Rust College, located in Holly Springs, Mississippi, approximately 35 miles southeast of Memphis, Tennessee, is a historically Black liberal arts college founded in 1866 by the Freedman's Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The 126-acre campus features a mix of historic and modern buildings in a small-town setting, with several structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As one of the oldest historically Black colleges in the South, Rust College operates on a distinctive five-module academic calendar system and maintains small class sizes, offering programs primarily in business, education, humanities, science, and social science. The college provides traditional dormitory-style housing for its student population, with a requirement that all non-local students live on campus during their first two years.
