Britt Rhodes has been a professor in the Social Work program since 2002, focusing on the topics of fundamentals and human behavior. Some of her course topics include Introduction to Social Work and Social Welfare, Fundamentals of Social Work Practice I, and Human Behavior in the Social Environment I.

During January Term, Professor Rhodes leads a course in which students travel abroad to Northern Ireland and examine the difficult yet inspiring Northern Ireland peace process through the lives of its participants. Students explore the challenges and potential of grassroots peace building, with special attention to issues of identity, culture, and memory as challenges and the principles of forgiveness, mercy, justice, and peace as potential.
