Henderson State University
ABOUT HENDERSON STATE UNIVERSITY:
At this time in your life, there are more questions than answers. Where should I go to college? What are my friends doing? Should I stay at home or move away? What in the world should my major be? The fact that you’re exploring this CD is a step in the right direction.
Henderson State University can help you find the answers. They offer world-class education in a highly personalized, guidance-rich environment. We offer a four-year, diverse and dynamic college lifestyle beyond the classroom. And when you leave, you’ll have a highly marketable degree that you can take anywhere. Best of all, Henderson costs literally thousands less per year than most major state schools – in or out of state.
Founded in 1890, Henderson is nestled in beautiful Arkadelphia, Arkansas (pop. 10,000). Of the nine public universities in the state, Henderson is one of only two universities originally established as four-year, degree-conferring institutions. Today, Henderson attracts outstanding students with ACT scores higher than two-thirds of college freshmen nationwide-and boasts a campus with more than $50 million in new construction and renovations in the last decade.
Arkadelphia itself is an ideal college community. It is neither too big nor too small, which makes it a perfect place for your first time away from home. Situated in an area of rivers and lakes, the campus is set on 150 acres and includes 27 major facilities. Henderson is highly modern, comfortable, convenient, and absolutely structured around the needs of today’s digital-age college students.
