Hendrix seeks students of varied interests and talents, representative of many social, economic, and geographic backgrounds. Admission is not limited by race, sex, color, handicap, creed, or national origin of the applicant. Reflecting the historic understanding of institutions related to the United Methodist Church, Hendrix is nonsectarian in its approach to admission. Hendrix College expects students to demonstrate their seriousness of purpose by participating in a college preparatory curriculum throughout their high school careers. Particular attention is given to the level of challenge of an applicant's previous course of study and to trends in performance.
Admission is based upon an overall review of each applicant rather than on any single factor.
Character and leadership.
