educational opportunities available to students while they are at Hope College. The faculty at Hope have a diverse range of research interests, including algorithm animation, handheld computing, bioinformatics and the use of technology in education.
For the past 12 years, the department has received funding for undergraduate research during the summer as part of the National Science Foundation's " Research Experience for Undergraduates" program. More information about the REU program can be found at http://www.cs.hope.edu/reu.
