At Hope College, we understand that the world is so much bigger than the few blocks our campus sits on.

The Center for Global Engagement is your home foroff-campus study programsand theinternational studentand scholar community. Consider us your connection to campus while you’re abroad and your home away from home if you’re here from afar.

Since our founding in 1990, thousands of students have used the Center for Global Engagement as their jumping-off point to studying off-campus or introduction to life at an American college. Our off-campus roots started in 1956 with the Vienna Summer School, but we’ve been internationally inclined since 1879, when one-third of our graduating class was from Japan!

For many of our students, it’s not the question ofifyou’ll study off-campus, butwhenandhow它将最适合你的校园生活。世界杯足球2022我们的办公室在60个国家有300多个项目可供选择,擅于帮助您将校外学习作为优先事项。对于那些我们欢迎来自国外的学生,这是我们在自己的教室里为所有本地学生带来全球理解的机会。

Our Mission

The Center for Global Engagement encourages students to step beyond borders and connect with the global community.

We aim to integrate the perspectives of international students and scholars into the campus community, to provide off-campus study opportunities for all students and to stimulate conversation surrounding cross-cultural and global issues — all of which contribute to the globalization of the Hope College campus.
