WHY RHODES ADVISORS
No prepackaged solutions or rigid contracts—just the strategy, insights, and execution plan to grow on your terms.
1. You Remain in Control.
Consultants offer ideas. We deliver market-driven action plans backed by financial modeling and real-world expertise.
2. Strategy, Not Theories.
Universities aren’t asking for more vendors—they are asking for a partner who sees the full picture, looks around the corner for them, and helps them execute.
3. More Than Advice—We Solve.
We tell institutions what will drive sustainable revenue—and what won’t—so they can invest wisely and scale effectively while maintaining the core mission of the institution.
4. Revenue-Focused, Reality-Checked.

“In a rapidly shifting higher education landscape, Rhodes Advisors has been an invaluable partner in helping Pitt evaluate investments in online and hybrid programs.

“In creating a new role of Vice Provost for Online Education and Digital Innovation, the university made it clear that online must become a core competency of what we do and, as such, we are focused on growing our in-house capacity. OPMs mainly take the work off your hands altogether, usually at the individual program level. That is inconsistent with our mission. Instead, we chose to work with Rhodes Advisors because they offer an embedded strategic partnership that provides the depth and breadth of expertise we need today while helping us focus our thinking at the portfolio and university-wide level and build long-term capacity within my office and our school partners.”
– Kemi Jona, Vice Provost for Online Education and Digital Innovation at University of Virginia
