Admission Guide
Kuyper College uses a rolling admissions process, so you can submit your application throughout the year rather than waiting for specific deadlines. You need to provide your high school transcript, a personal statement, and two references from people who can speak to your character and academic potential.
The college requires all students to live on campus unless you're married, over 23, or living with family in the Grand Rapids area. Housing assignments happen on a first-come, first-served basis after you submit your enrollment deposit, so complete your application early if you want your preferred residence hall.
Your coursework will include Bible and theology requirements regardless of your major, since Kuyper operates as a Christian liberal arts college. The social work program requires field placements starting in your junior year, and you'll need to maintain good academic standing to continue in the program. Ministry-focused majors include hands-on training components at local churches and organizations.
New students attend a mandatory orientation program before classes begin each fall. This covers academic expectations, campus policies, and spiritual life requirements. You'll meet with an academic advisor to plan your course schedule and discuss how your faith goals align with your academic program.
The small campus size means you'll work closely with professors in your major field. Class sizes rarely exceed 20 students, so expect active participation in discussions and presentations. Financial aid decisions typically come within two weeks of submitting your complete application and FAFSA.
