Hope International University has been named one of the best Christian Universities in California by Christian Universities Online, the trusted guide to Christian colleges and universities. HIU currently ranks #3 in CUO’s 2017 list of The Top 10 Christian Colleges & Universities in California.

This ranking recognizes “intentionally-Christian” colleges and universities that excel in categories of personal attention to their students, selectivity, readily available financial aid and overall student satisfaction.

As a private Christian university, Hope is committed to the integration of faith, service and learning. This dedication is reflected in the university’s mission statement, core values and statement of belief, the guiding lights for every activity, class and relationship on campus.
