Faculty
A large part of Hope's success can be credited to the exceptional quality of our faculty members. SPS courses, both online and campus-based, are taught by full-time University faculty and qualified adjunct instructors, all of whom have extensive business, clinical or ministry experience enabling them to teach cutting edge concepts with practical applications. If you ask our students what is especially distinctive about Hope's School of Professional Studies, they will tell you that the faculty makes the difference. The active, Christian teachers/practitioners care deeply about their students' whole lives, not just their academic achievement, as they transform the mechanics of higher education into life-changing experiences. They model servant leadership personally and professionally.
