The Hendrix Odyssey Program
A lot of colleges offer hands-on learning—but no college does it better than Hendrix. The Odyssey Program isn’t an 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.

1. Acting in a professional summer theater production
2. Attending Comic-Con to see fan culture firsthand
3. Conducting research at a national lab
