VIA Hendrix
The future you want doesn’t happen by chance. You get there Via Hendrix.
A liberal arts education that encourages you to discover what moves you. Practical work experience that leads to a meaningful, fulfilling career. At Hendrix College, they are one and the same.
Those concepts are the core of Via Hendrix, our comprehensive plan to incorporate career readiness into all corners of our liberal arts curriculum. From your first day on campus, you have the space to find a path that fits. Then, we give you the support to turn that passion into a plan. With classes focused on long-term success and a guaranteed co-op program that immerses you in a professional workplace, you graduate with purpose, ready to take on your future.
Comprehensive Support Through Integrated Advising
A dedicated team of academic advisors and career counselors will help you choose classes, find opportunities, and gain the guidance you need to move forward with confidence.
Co-ops for All
Your co-op gives you the chance to take the skills you develop in the classroom — such as problem solving, teamwork, and critical thinking — and put them to action in a semester-long professional work experience. This is an intensive, full-time placement that can help you build an edge in a competitive job market. You start preparing for your co-op with a career-foundations course during your second year. In your third year, a co-op workshop course runs concurrently with your co-op, helping you connect classroom learning with on-the-job skills.
Academics Built With Your Destination in Mind
Via Hendrix is a pathway that starts the moment you arrive on campus. From exploration to planning to doing, your journey builds clarity, confidence, and purpose at every step.
First-Year Foundations
In order to plan for the future, you need to know where you are going. In our First-Year Foundations, we ask: What does a successful life look like? Where do you want your degree to lead? And then together, we can draw a map to help you get there.
Rigorous Liberal Arts Education
A liberal arts education provides the tools you need to understand the world; it is a lens through which you can explore human experience, creativity, and discovery. Via Hendrix maintains the depth of our traditional curriculum while tying those lessons to career readiness.
Senior-Year Experience
The lessons you learn in college are ones you will carry with you long after you leave Hendrix. Your Senior-Year Experience gives you a chance to compare where you started to where you are now, integrating reflection, learning, and preparation for what comes next.
Graduate Ready for What’s Next
Preparing for life after college takes more than classroom learning alone. Through hands-on professional experience and the enduring strengths of a liberal arts education, Hendrix helps you build the skills, perspective, and confidence to thrive in a changing world.
