Reed College is a private liberal arts college in Portland, Oregon, United States. Founded in 1908, Reed is a residential college with a campus in the Eastmoreland neighborhood, Tudor-Gothic style architecture,[5] and a forested canyon nature preserve at its center.

Reed has a mandatory first-year humanities program and requires a senior thesis. It features progressive politics, de-emphasis of grades, academic rigor, lack of grade inflation, and a high proportion of graduates who go on to earn doctorates and postgraduate degrees.[6]

Reed alumni include 118 Fulbright Scholars, 67 Watson Fellows, and three Churchill Scholars. Its 32 Rhodes Scholars are the second-most for a liberal arts college.[7] Reed is ranked fourth in the United States for the percentage of its graduates who earn a Ph.D., after Caltech, Harvey Mudd, and Swarthmore College.[8][9][10][11]
