A Small Arkansas College with Some Big Differences

Hendrix College, by all appearances, doesn't want to be just another small, liberal arts college. And, by all appearances, it's not.

In an era when many private colleges in the South are becoming increasingly homogeneous and doctrinaire, Hendrix encourages students to be open to new ideas.

One of the most telling items on the Hendrix website is a statement saying, "...if you think some things just shouldn't be questioned, you might not be happy at Hendrix". Isn't that a refreshing statement for a college to make?

The Odyssey program, which requires students to become engaged in at least three hands-on learning experiences during their undergraduate years, also sets Hendrix apart.

The Hendrix student body totals a little over 1,000. Students come from nine nations and more than 30 U.S. states. Approximately one out of eight students is from a minority background.

Hendrix is probably the most selective college or university in Arkansas. About half it's students ranked in the top ten percent of their high school classes, three quarters were in the top quarter, and their midrange ACT composite scores were 25-31.

Both the Hendrix student faculty ratio and average class size are low, and virtually every Hendrix instructor has earned the highest degree offered in his/her field.

Hendrix has managed to put together a very healthy endowment, currently valued at approximately $190 million.

Hendrix's actual "cost of attendance" is also a big plus because virtually everyone receives financial aid in one form or another.

Students looking for a small, high quality, Southern college which encourages varying points of view and hands on learning experiences would do well to investigate Hendrix.
