Description:

Explorations: Liberal Arts for Life is a one-semester common course required of all entering students in their first semester at the College. Explorations is designed to foster an ongoing engagement with the liberal arts experience, to facilitate the transition of new students to the Hendrix community, and to enhance students' potential for success in their collegiate studies. The course meets once a week and carries one-quarter (.25) course credit. Areas of study in Explorations include higher education and the liberal arts, the aims and expectations of the College, academic and career explorations, and self-inquiry and personal development. Additionally, the seminar focuses on refining student knowledge, perspectives and skills requisite to successful academic work and integration into the Hendrix community. Each new student will be enrolled in both a Journeys and an Explorations section. Academic components of Explorations may be linked to Journeys content, adding immediate relevance to these areas of study. In each Explorations section, instruction will be complemented by the presence of a second-year peer assistant who will be available to provide a student perspective and assistance throughout the course.
