Hendrix College encourages each student to include at least one independent study in the course work presented for the Bachelor of Arts. Independent studies are arranged by the student in consultation with a supervising faculty member, and each independent study proposal must be approved by the chair of the department within which the independent study is registered as a course. Independent studies should be designed to expand, complement, and deepen the college’s regular course offerings and may be arranged as tutorials or undergraduate research experiences.
Students wishing further information on independent study opportunities should consult with the chair of the relevant department.
