A liberal arts education isn’t easy. You don’t just “learn a little about a lot.” You read, think, write, argue, change your mind, and shape your unique view of the world. You constantly discover. It happens in lectures and labs, in recital halls and residence halls. It happens on the playing field and in field research. It doesn’t stop. That’s Hendrix.
Here, you don’t just take notes and take tests. You learn to take chances and to make the whole world your classroom. The Hendrix Odyssey program ensures every student has more opportunity and more support for hands-on learning experiences than at any other institution. We strongly encourage study abroad, service projects, internships, undergraduate research and more. That’s engaged learning at Hendrix.
You can’t hide from Hendrix faculty in small classes. But don’t worry. They’re here to help. They care. Not just whether you pass, fail or get the perfect grade. They want you to get the most out of Hendrix and be ready for life after college. That’s teaching at Hendrix … and that’s why Hendrix was named #8 for “Best Undergraduate Teaching" by U.S. News & World Report.
We’re here to help you transition from a student to a leader on campus and beyond. Whether you want to be an artist or accountant, CEO or scientist, mathematician or minister, Hendrix offers 30 majors and 33 minors to put you on your path. Haven’t made up your mind? We help you prepare for graduate or professional school, the workforce and the world. That’s a liberal arts degree from Hendrix.

Welcome to a place that celebrates uniqueness. At Hendrix, you won’t find fraternities and sororities, reserved parking for the President or outsourced dining service. That’s not us. Like our students, we have a history of taking a different path. Here you find untraditional traditions like Shirttails and Campus Kitty. You find friendly people like our national award-winning dining services staff who know your name, ask you how your test went, and offer cake and a song on your birthday. They make Hendrix … Hendrix.
Our campus is 175 acres of gorgeous … with academic buildings for the arts, humanities and sciences, historic residence halls and student apartments, and a new Student Life and Technology Center and Wellness and Athletics Center. Between the red brick buildings, the fountain and flower beds, you’ll find challenge and support, work and play, pecan shells and squirrels. Lots of squirrels. They make Hendrix … Hendrix.
