About This School

Kuyper College is a private nonprofit institution located in Grand Rapids, Michigan with approximately 119 undergraduate students enrolled. The school is moderately selective, accepting approximately 34% of applicants. The average net price after financial aid is $28,458 per year. The graduation rate is 54%, and the typical graduate earns $35,200 within 10 years of enrollment.

Kuyper College is a private Reformed Christian college in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: the 100% freshman retention rate suggests students who enroll feel genuinely supported, but a 54% graduation rate means nearly half don't finish — a real concern worth pressing the school on before committing. At $28,458/year net price, the debt load at graduation ($16,304) is relatively modest, but median earnings of $35,200 a decade out means graduates aren't exactly thriving financially. Worth considering only if the mission-driven, faith-integrated environment is a strong personal fit and you have a clear plan for finishing — otherwise, the outcomes are hard to justify.
