Beginning in fall 2023, two major curricular changes will be implemented: 1) A revised set of general education requirements, called the Anchor Plan, will go into effect. 2) Four-credit courses that used to meet three hours per week will now meet three hours per week and change to three credits.

The college has developed transition plans (BA/BS, BMu, BSN) so that no student will be prohibited from completing their degree on time. New and continuing students (must be enrolled in the fall 2023 semester) will need to complete a minimum of 120 credits (currently 126) to complete a Hope College degree. December 2023 will be the first degree date where this new rule applies. More information is available on this FAQ document for students.
