Grace Christian University, known from 1961 to 2018 as Grace Bible College, is a private Christian university in Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States. It is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and the Association for Biblical Higher Education to award associate, baccalaureate, and graduate degrees. The university is affiliated with the Grace Gospel Fellowship.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $13,996 average net price and low median debt of $9,500 are genuinely appealing, but a 43% graduation rate and 59% freshman retention rate suggest many students don't finish — worth asking why before enrolling. Median earnings of $30,500 a decade out are modest, so this fits best if you're pursuing ministry, nonprofit work, or a calling where mission matters more than salary. Worth considering if you want a small, faith-centered environment rooted in Grace Gospel Fellowship, but go in with eyes open about the completion and career earnings data.
