“No matter how much it may not feel like it when you’re reading Plato, a liberal arts education is preparation for the real world. Being able to understand unfamiliar subjects quickly, assert yourself effectively, and write well are important – not just for careers or graduate school, but for successful living. A liberal arts education can help nurture those skills.”

- andrew mccormick, jd, llm (class of ’07) associate, latham & watkins london office

the odyssey advantageHendrix’s nationally recognized Odyssey Program guarantees students’ participation in at least three different active learning experiences chosen from six

categories: professional and leadership development, service to the world, global awareness, undergraduate research, artistic creativity, and special projects.

These series of hands-on and often self-designed learning opportunities contribute to the strength of the overall educational experience and demonstrate how Hendrix’s students extend their education and apply their knowledge in important and meaningful ways outside of the classroom – through independent research, leadership, community service, internships, immersion in other cultures, creative projects, and other action-based endeavors.

developing whole persons through the liberal artsIn addition to guaranteeing experience, Hendrix’s unique learning environment assures all students the opportunities to study broadly in a variety of areas of knowledge; to develop expertise in a field of concentration; to cultivate skills of oral and written communication, deliberation, and analysis; to gain appreciation for the cultural traditions of the world; and to establish character and a concern for worthy values. The result? Well-rounded students who are prepared to pursue meaningful, enriching, and contributive personal and professional lives.
