College is an exceptional time in your life—one like no other. It’s your chance to explore. To study something new—or to dive into a subject you’ve always wanted to learn more about. College is your next step toward creating the life you want.

I Believe... …that sometimes the best

answer is a good question—and I’ve got a lot of good questions.

“

If I had to describe Meredith to a friend, I would say it is ‘Education for the 21st Century.’

Even though Meredith is rooted in tradition, it holds onto its history while preparing women for the real world. It has all the resources, tools and knowledge necessary for any woman to succeed—but you have to work hard to reap the benefits.”

—Mary Hemphill, ’05

2

“

Women at Meredith are encouraged to find our own voice and to use it. We are given many opportunities, but ultimately, how useful such opportunities are depends on us. We are challenged to reach outside of ourselves and our comfort zones with every opportunity that comes our way.”

—Sarah Beth Phelps, ’11

I Believe... …that the best

education lasts a lifetime.

3

“

Other than Cornhuskin’ and late night Cookout® runs, my most memorable experience at Meredith is probably hanging out in the residence halls freshman year. I met all of my best friends on the hall that I lived on…my freshman hall provided such an initial closeknit group of friends as a support system.”

—Emily Pappas, ’12

I Believe... …in friends who make you laugh— and make you think.

4

I Believe... …that the best

colleges are good communities.

“

My favorite thing about Raleigh is the fact that it is a ‘college town.’ There is always something to do, somewhere to eat, someone to make friends with. There are a variety of restaurants.

There are concerts, athletic events, and other things going on in the city.”

—Christina Cole, ’13

learning Our programs of study are hands-on, in the classroom and the community. The result: a focused education deepened by real-world experience that makes you stand out with employers and graduate schools.

learning at Meredith

“

Taking the freshmen honors courses allowed me to meet students who shared my interests and enthusiasm for learning. It really makes a difference to spend time with people who are serious about their academics and enjoy their classes.”

—Calley Jones, ’10

Learn by doing. Study with committed, experienced faculty.

This is how we help you grow.

FACULTY & Mentors Meredith professors are leaders in their fields and exceptional teachers—our students know them as friends, as advisors, as mentors.

According to a recent study, while 81% of women’s college alumnae were able to recall a mentor, 45% of the women who attended coeducational public universities could not name even one mentor from their college days.

UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH Students work with professors who share their academic interests, developing valuable research and communication skills. Student research is honored during the annual Celebrating Student Achievement event—and students go on to present their research at regional and national conferences.

INTERNSHIPS Meredith’s location near Research Triangle Park and downtown Raleigh is ideal for students who want to put their learning to work at internships or co-ops. Students find placements in every field—recent internships include the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Credit Suisse and Quintiles.

41%

of Meredith students participate in undergraduate research with a faculty member (the national average is 21%)

HONORS PROGRAM An enhanced set of courses, activities and opportunities for outstanding students.

Offerings include specialized coursework and advising; directed research projects, including a senior thesis; and weekend trips exploring social and historical issues.

90% of students rated their entire educational experience as good or excellent

I have room to explore

“

I had heard stories from previous students about how the professors really strive to get to know their students, and while here I have found that to be true.

My faculty advisor has helped me narrow down my career interests and introduced the idea of a career in research, which is what I am leaning toward now.

Since working on my research project I have grown to enjoy animal research and I have gotten practice with specific parasitological techniques. Research looks great on my resume and the experience will definitely help when I start applying for internships.”

study abroad We embrace other cultures.

We encourage world travel.

This is how we get you there.

FLEXIBLE Just as our students aren’t identical, neither are their academic needs. Our well-traveled staff researches programs to help students advance their academic goals through study abroad, internships and volunteer opportunities. And Meredith-funded scholarships can be used toward a variety of study abroad programs.

GROW Students learn about the history, culture, language and people of the country; gain skills that help them compete in a global economy; and develop confidence. They learn practical skills like how to read a map and navigate transportation systems. And, of course, students earn academic credit while studying abroad.

PROGRAMS Study abroad for a summer, a semester or even a year. A new permanent Meredith palazzo in Sansepolcro, Italy, makes it even easier to study abroad.

“

I think globally I was impressed to learn how many students study abroad and how affordable it really is at Meredith. The study abroad office helped me plan to be away from campus for a semester and still graduate on time. The Sansepolcro program was amazing.

I loved living in the small town and getting to be part of the community there. I learned so much from my classes and my experience in another culture.”

KENYA Meredith has numerous connections to Kenya. Students have also recently studied in Morocco, Botswana and South Africa.

Other schools I applied to wanted me to focus on either music or biology. Meredith encouraged me to do both.”

success after Meredith Relevant internships. Focused career planning. This is how we prepare you to succeed.

ACADEMIC & CAREER PLANNING Counseling, resources and programs are designed to help students find meaningful work. Students are encouraged to take a comprehensive approach to their careers. Recent workshops include: image building, business dinner etiquette and GRE study sessions. And alumnae are able to use the career planning services after graduation.

SCHOLARSHIP AND WORK Our location offers many opportunities for research, internships and career development.

We’re only 5 minutes from North Carolina State University, and 30 minutes from Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill. We’re 10 minutes from the State Capitol, the State Legislative Building and the State Archives. And we’re minutes away from Research Triangle Park (RTP).

SUCCESS AFTER GRADUATION A recent survey found that 82% of graduates seeking full-time jobs were employed one year after graduation. Meredith graduates work in every field and in a variety of organizations: Bank of America, BB&T, Cisco Systems, Credit Suisse, Duke University Health System, RedHat, SAS Institute, Texas Instruments and North Carolina public schools.

GRADUATE SCHOOL Some students take advantage of Meredith’s master’s programs in education, business and nutrition. Others use our pre-professional programs as a first step toward professional study and practice. Recent Meredith graduates have pursued graduate study at UNC-Chapel Hill, University of Virginia, Yale, Carnegie Mellon and Duke.

“

Through the business school, I was able to establish a network of professionals who served as incredible mentors for me. I was encouraged to attend networking events and become a leader of student organizations. The resources that you can leverage at Meredith are invaluable—the size of our college makes a huge difference.”

—Kristen Scott, ’05 16

I have confidence

“

I took advantage of Academic & Career Planning as a Meredith student and as an alumna. My graduate work is in a highly technical field, and I collaborate with statisticians, mathematicians and analysts. Many numerically-inclined people struggle in terms of communication, and the liberal arts education I got at Meredith helps me distinguish myself from my peers.

I can do the analysis, but also write and edit a report, and give a presentation with confidence.”

Meghan Kent, ’10, Master of Science in Analytics, NCSU, and Analytic Engineer, SAS Institute, Inc.

getting involved

Join a club—or start one.

Volunteer. Run for office.

This is how to get involved.

TRADITIONS Meredith traditions promote class unity and school pride. Class spirit is expressed through friendly competitions like Crook Hunt and Cornhuskin’ and through traditions such as the Oddballs and Bathtub Ring.

LEADERSHIP AND VOLUNTEERING An essential part of the Meredith experience. Students engage in a variety of leadership development programs, plan events for fun and to help others, and design collaborative, cross-cultural and international service projects.

ATHLETICS Meredith has six NCAA Division III USA South Athletic Conference teams: basketball, crosscountry, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball.

Clubs and ORGANIZATIONS Meredith’s vibrant Student Government Association is one of the oldest in the Southeast. Other organizations support commuter students, international students and a wide variety of religious traditions. Clubs range from Angels for the Environment to Poetry Vybe. Many allow students to explore career opportunities and develop professional contacts in their field.

SUSTAINABILITY Meredith is committed to thinking green. Sustainable projects include a student reuse store designed and run by students; waste and energy audits; and courses with sustainability content, as well as an environmental sustainability major/minor.

I am involved with the Honors Program, Meredith Fashion Association and Meredith Hues—I also have been a part of Cornhuskin’ and Stunt. I enjoy the Hues Program the most.

We connect with ethnically-diverse students interested in Meredith, both in the United States as well as the rest of the world. I enjoy being a part of an organization that showcases a diverse perspective of Meredith that may not always be apparent. Being involved on campus has definitely helped me grow as an individual.

and the “Meredith Beach”—a favorite student spot for relaxing in the sun.

RESIDENCE HALLS Meredith has seven residence halls. Most rooms are suite style with two double rooms sharing a bathroom. All are air conditioned and equipped with drink and snack machines and free laundry facilities. To ensure student safety, halls are locked 24 hours a day— students gain access using their campus ID cards. Residence life staff help create a sense of community through guest speakers, social programs and other fun activities.

APARTMENTS Meredith offers apartment-style housing for up to 252 juniors and seniors. Each apartment includes a living/dining area, kitchen, full-size washer and dryer and either two bedrooms/two bathrooms, or four bedrooms/two bathrooms. All bedrooms are designed for single occupancy.

FITTING IN Students are housed by class, which helps them make friends and helps classes form into cohesive communities. First Year Experience introduces students to Meredith with a summer reading program, an orientation, academic and social support, and the Fire and Water Dinner at the end of the year.

STAYING WELL Campus physician, physician assistant and nurse are on staff at Carroll Health Center to treat minor ailments and to coordinate care in times of medical emergency.

The Counseling Center offers students a safe place to work through individual challenges.

An indoor pool and fitness center help students stay in shape—they can also use the Reedy Creek Greenway, a walking and biking trail that connects campus to the neighboring NC Museum of Art, or the track and athletic field.

campus

We have the best-looking campus around, with 225 wooded acres enhanced by a tranquil lake, open courtyards and traditional architecture.

This is your home away from home.

Meredith’s campus is beautiful year-round, with gorgeous fall color, occasional snow that offers a taste of winter, and abundant flowers in the spring.

And with an annual average high of 70 degrees, the Raleigh area buzzes with outdoor activity throughout the year.

I go for walks on the greenway a lot. It’s a really beautiful trail in the spring and fall and I know it’s safe. I love that I can walk just around campus or all the way to the NC Art Museum.”
