Experience the Hope difference

Mind

Because for you, learning is a way of life.

At Hope, the liberal arts are at the core of equipping students to think critically and communicate effectively about a broad range of subjects. Our90+ academic programsare nationally recognized for intellectual rigor and deep engagment. We know this is the best preparation you can have for aproductive and fulfilling life.

Because life is your classroom.

At Hope, time in the classroom is the starting line. Outside the classroom, you may find yourself co-authoring graduate school-level research with a Hope professor, interning at a local non-profit or the White House, or spending the entire semester a world away.

Because your world is interconnected.

Hope has been global since 1879, when two of our six graduates came from Japan to study in the U.S. Our robust language offerings, 300+ study abroad programs and dedicated offices of International and Multicultural Education are committed to ensuring you leave with a broad global perspective. It’s our mission to do so.

Because this is only the beginning.

Your first-choice graduate or professional school. The workforce. The Peace Corps. Teach for America. The ministry. That coveted job where your passion meets the world’s need. A new state. A new country. Your own place. Your future family.

Body

Because your art is your passion.

The artsare fully alive at Hope. Our institution was the first four-year, undergraduate liberal arts college in the United States to gain national accreditation in all four arts programs: music, art, dance and theater. Our faculty are world-class artists and masterful teachers, and their ability to take you to the next level of performance is enhanced in new facilities like theMiller Center for Musical ArtsandKruizenga Art Museum.

Because you want to join a winning tradition.

Athletic tradition runs deep at Hope. Our22 NCAA Division III varsity teamsbelong to the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA), the oldest collegiate athletics conference in the country – established even before the NCAA. School spirit is strong here, with terrific fan support from Hope students and the Holland community alike. Our teams play to win — and win they do — earning more conference Commissioner’s Cups than any other member school in its history.

Because you’ll get what you pay for. And then some.

Attending Hope is an investment, but because of generous alumni and friends of the college, the amount you pay covers just a portion of the resources we devote to your overall experience. Add on academic and arts scholarships, grants, loans and work study, and you’ll findHope can be more affordablethan you might expect.

Because Holland, Michigan, is one beautiful and friendly college town.

霍普和它的荷兰城是一起成长起来的，这一点显而易见。走出校园向北走两个街区，你会发现自己走在热气腾腾的人行道上，旁边是第八街的商店和餐馆，第八街是我们非官方的第二个学生中心。跳上你的车——是的，你可以在大一的时候带一辆——你将在不到10分钟的时间内到达迷人的密歇根湖海滩。

Spirit

Because you know it’s not about you.

Hope students have a heart for others. Kick off your fall semester by volunteering through Hope’s annual Time to Serve. Connect with the Holland community through our dedicated Volunteer Services office. Use your spring break to venture out on a Campus Ministries Immersion Trip.

Because your faith matters.

Hope isvibrantly Christian, yet respectful of your personal religious preferences. Choose to attend Chapel, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by 1,000+ students in worship. Extend your faith through local and off-campus outreach and service. Consider your calling.

Because Hope people will become your family for life.

Step foot on Hope’s campus, and you’ll quickly realize there’s something special about the community of people here. Our students, faculty and staff care for each other, and the friends you make here will go with you far beyond these four years. Would you have it any other way?

Because the legacy is strong – and now it’s your turn.

超过32,000名校友在这里留下了他们的印记，今天，他们在世界各地服务和领导。霍普大学拥有150年的历史，其毕业生在雇主和美国最好的研究生院中赢得声誉，因为他们罕见地将职业准备、专业精神和深刻的价值观结合在一起。
