Your Hendrix Odyssey:  Engaged in active learning.
Pre-Approved Courses

Hendrix offers several course experiences for pre-approved Odyssey credit (assuming student completion of all requirements). These classes delve deeper into the Odyssey category, providing an intense and rewarding experiential learning opportunity. Some courses are not approved for Odyssey credit simply as they stand, but such credit is available only if the student opts to do an extra module of work.

Students must sign up for credit either with an individual Statement of Intent or on a class roster provided by the Odyssey Office. This must be done before the start of finals.

Note: Please visit www.hendrix.edu/odyssey for the most up-to-date versions of these lists, which reflect any changes after our publication deadline. Courses with temporary Odyssey coding for this academic year are noted with an asterisk.
