Integrated
Advising
Supporting the Whole Student
Over your four years of college, you are met with exciting opportunities to discover brand-new interests, lean into challenging classes, and gain hands-on experience that prepares you for a meaningful career. At Hendrix College, you take this journey with a dedicated team by your side.
Starting in your first year, you will work with a coordinated advising team dedicated to both your academic success and your growth as a person. That team is a core component of Via Hendrix, our comprehensive education experience. It ensures that academic exploration and career development remain linked while challenging you to make choices that bring your future into greater focus.
Intentional Support Strategies From Day One
At Hendrix, you won’t navigate your college experience alone. Your advising team — academic advisors, career counselors, and mentors — will help you approach your academic and personal development with purpose, ensuring your time at Hendrix is meaningful in every sense.
Academic Exploration
Whether you arrive at Hendrix knowing exactly what you want to study or you are still exploring your options, your advisor will help unlock possibilities you may have never considered. Your academic advisor will help you explore your interests and passions, then plan a course of study aligned with your goals.
Career Development
At Hendrix, career readiness is an intentional part of the student experience from the beginning, not just when you are getting ready to graduate. We start by imagining your future, whether you know your dream job or not, and working backward to identify the skills and experiences needed to maximize the value of your degree.
Experiential Education
Ask an employer, and they’ll tell you: Experience counts. Your advising team includes mentors who can help you get the most out of your education — including your co-op. This full-semester professional work experience builds on the skills and knowledge you learned in class.
Future-Focused Mindset
Your advising team will challenge you to make intentional choices that lead to your goals. From the classes you choose and the experiences you pursue, a Hendrix education delivers the communication, problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making skills that prepare you for success.
Via Hendrix
Via Hendrix combines the liberal arts with career readiness. This combination produces real value — one your integrated advising team will help you unlock, every step of the way.
