Arts Division

Hope College is one of the few liberal arts colleges with accreditation in all four areas of the arts: art/art history, dance, music and theatre. In each case, we meet or exceed national standards from the National Associations of Schools of Art and Design, Dance, Music and Theatre.

You will work closely with practicing artists and writers, and strengthen your work through additional activities, such as the Hope Repertory Theatre, Visiting Writers Series, Musical Showcase, several dance companies and the senior art show.
