Hendrix College is a private liberal arts college in Conway, Arkansas. Approximately 1,000 students are enrolled, mostly undergraduates. While affiliated with the United Methodist Church, the college offers a secular curriculum and has a student body composed of people from many different religious backgrounds. Hendrix is a member of the Associated Colleges of the South.
This small liberal arts school in Conway offers a genuinely affordable path — median debt at graduation is just $19,500, which is notably low — and its secular-yet-values-grounded environment attracts intellectually curious students who want a tight-knit community. The concern worth flagging is the 69% graduation rate paired with a 78% freshman retention rate, suggesting a meaningful number of students either transfer or don't finish, so it's worth asking admissions directly what's driving that. Worth considering if you thrive in small classrooms and want manageable debt, but go in with eyes open about post-grad earnings, which land around $44,500 at the 10-year mark — solid, but not exceptional.
