Course Planning

Course Planning Home

Course planning advice here is limited to majors. For a full description of degree requirements, please see this overview of the Academic Program and refer to the Catalog for details and official rules. Any discrepancy between the Course Planning Pages and the Catalog will be resolved in favor of the Catalog.

The advice in the Course Planning pages is designed to assist students during their first years of study. Specifically, the Course Planning Pages give students advice on:

  • where to start in each major;
  • possible major course planning across four-years (preferred); 
  • possible major course planning across three-years (if needed). 

These course-planning pages should be used in conjunction with other academic resources. These include:

  • The Hendrix College Catalog  - this is your contract with the College on how to get a degree.  Heavy reading, but this is the place to check for the rules.
  • The Course Schedule   - this is a list of the courses offered this year. Notice you can sort by year, semester, department or learning domains. If you click on a course title, the official Catalog description pops up. The course pre-requisites are listed in the last line. [You must have completed the pre-requisites to enroll in a course.]
  • Odyssey Guide - This guide has all the information you need to participate in the Odyssey Program, including designing your own projects.

 If these resources fail to answer your question, please email the Associate Provost for Advising and Academic Success, Dr. Todd Berryman (berryman@hendrix.edu).
