About Kuyper College

Known for faith-integrated academics rooted in a Reformed Christian perspective, Kuyper College blends thoughtful study with hands-on learning. Classes stay conversation rich and practical. Campus resources include a light-filled library, chapel, modern classrooms, and a neighborly residence life. Students use tutoring, advising, counseling, and career coaching.

Student life is close knit and service minded. Chapel rhythms, small groups, intramurals, outdoor trips, arts, and volunteer crews make it easy to plug in. And the culture prizes humility and curiosity. Career prep leans experiential through internships, mentoring, and connections across Grand Rapids nonprofits, churches, and businesses. The city adds an arts-and-coffee buzz and plenty of green space. Traditions of service learning and a global lens shape the place.
