Can I graduate in four years?

The answer to this absolutely CRUCIAL question is, YES. The elementary and secondary programs are easily fit into four years (there is even SOME flexibility for over-seas studies, if done early in the student's career at Hope). The special education program is a little closer fit and leaves almost no room for overseas study. If you, as a special education student, take May Terms and begin the Level One program during Spring semester of Freshman Year, it is entirely possible to fit it all in. A good suggestion is to take your liberal arts core classes for the first year. Once those are finished the final three years are used for content area majors and minors on top of education courses.
