This program is offered 100% online or on campus through an annual Residency on campus in Fullerton, CA.

On-ground Classes are offered through 3-day Regional Residencies offered on campuses of cutting-edge churches across the United States. Students enjoy close interaction with outstanding Christian leaders, fellowship and networking with like-minded ministry professionals, and online follow-up with Hope professors. Four or more residencies are held per year, usually in January, April, June, and October.

Online Online courses provide an interactive learning environment through online video lectures, online discussion threads, and an online drop box where you can virtually submit your assignments. Best of all, you can log-on to view lectures, participate in threaded discussions, and submit assignments any time of night or day!
