President's Message

On behalf of the Hope International University faculty, administration, and staff, I welcome you to our campus community. We are eager to become acquainted with you and to help you get the full benefit of your educational experience.

Choosing a college is a critical decision and it is important to consider your life and career goals as you select the school and major best suited for you. Our catalog is written with this decision in mind as well as to serve as a guide for course selection. Please read carefully the information relative to the heritage and nature of Hope International University. This will help you become better acquainted with us and to understand our mission. It will also give you an idea of the kinds of personal changes you can expect as you invest the next few years in acquiring a knowledge base that will last a lifetime.

We believe Hope International University will equip you to successfully meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. This is an exciting time to be a part of a growing university in a metropolitan area and to build relationships with men and women who have a vision for the future. As God opens doors of opportunities for you to serve Him, it is our prayer you will be prepared spiritually and intellectually to accomplish that which brings honor to Him.

I look forward to getting to know you and to watching you grow in Christ.

John Derry, Ed.D.
President of Hope International University
