Hendrix is located in a town not far from a more urbanized area, in Conway, Arkansas. The school is officially a United Methodist school. Hendrix is a private, not-for-profit institution. Degree levels at the school top out at the Master's degree.
One of the good things about Hendrix is its wide range of programs leading to degrees. Students at the school often study science, art studies, drama and performing arts, therapy and counseling, liberal arts, and conservation and resource management.
The admissions department at Hendrix does not accept all those who apply. Most students' verbal SAT scores were in the range of 590 to 700 in 2005. A quarter of students admitted in 2005 scored 670 or higher on the math SAT. It's not unusual for students to find their classmates include those from other parts of the country.
Students at the school benefit from the low student/teacher ratio. The school's tenure system is geared toward rewarding and keeping the most valuable professors.
The school offers classes to 1,031 students (1,018 full-time equivalent).
Hendrix serves primarily full-time students. The school has a residential or campus feel. Many students live in housing on or near campus. The school does offer meal plans to students. Students sports include formal participation in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference competitions.
