At Hendrix, our students work closely with faculty who are devoted to teaching and mentoring undergraduate students. Through Your Hendrix Odyssey: Engaging in Active Learning, students connect what they learn in the classroom with the experience they gain through hands-on learning activities, such as internships, international study, research, and service. These experiences prepare students for graduate and professional school programs, prestigious post-graduate fellowships, and successful professional careers.
