Academic: Arts and Humanities
The arts and humanities provide a vital foundation from which to explore and understand our world.

Hope College is one of the few liberal arts colleges with accreditation in all four areas of the arts: art, dance, music and theatre. The Humanities division seeks to expand student wisdom, cultivate imagination and pursue truth. In both divisions, students receive significant personal attention, collaborate with faculty and enjoy opportunities beyond the classroom.

 

During Hope College Day of Giving, you'll have the opportunity to give to the following departments and programs:

  • Art and Art History
  • Asian Studies
  • Center for Ministry Studies
  • Dance
  • English
  • History
  • Kruizenga Art Museum 
  • Music 
  • Philosophy
  • Religion
  • Theatre
  • Women's and Gender Studies
  • World Languages and Cultures
