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.
