Be Strong. Be True.

Kinesiology is defined as the study of human movement, but at Hope College it’s so much more than that.

Stein Slette BiomechanicsAs our faculty, staff and students move throughout the world, we challenge each other with the words of our fight song to要坚强和真实。We’re committed to use the study and practice of human activity to transform the mind, body and spirit for lives of leadership, character and service.

Small class sizes, student-faculty collaborative research, and mentoring are just some of the ways we foster an environment that is demanding, supportive and inspiring. Students will be challenged in the life-long pursuit of personal well-being and vocational excellence by experienced faculty who are experts in their fields and passionate about their work. Athletes will participate in world-class facilities while being coached by men and women who are absolutely committed to providing transformative experiences in the context of competitive excellence.

通过指导、课堂活动、实习、留学机会、竞争和合作研究,我们坚定地、忠实地致力于改变生活和变革的经验,这将使我们给世界带来希望,并成为我们当地和全球社区的差异创造者。
