The Hope College English Department

The Hope College English Department is a collaborative community where students and faculty challenge each other intellectually and creatively. English students at Hope dive deep into literature of every kind and learn how to improve their writing with masters of the craft. Through composition, creative writing, and literature classes, our students become more artistic in their scholarship and more knowledgeable in their creativity. Small classes and one-on-one collaboration foster an environment that is both demanding and encouraging. We work together and support each other.
