The Hendrix Odyssey Program
A lot of colleges offer hands-on learning. But no college does it better than Hendrix. It’s not elective; it’s part of every Hendrix student’s academic experience. Since 2005, Hendrix students have completed nearly 20,000 Odyssey projects.
No other liberal arts college supports hands-on learning like Hendrix, with more than $4 million in grants awarded for students to follow their interests and passions outside the classroom.
How it works
There are six Odyssey categories:
• Artistic Creativity
• Global Awareness
• Professional and Leadership Development
• Service to the World
• Special Projects
• Undergraduate Research
You complete Odyssey projects in at least three categories before you graduate. You choose the categories. You design the projects. Personalize your education in unique ways and design adventures that take you wherever your interests lead you.
