[edit] History
Kuyper College was founded in 1939 as the Reformed Bible Institute with a three-year curriculum. In 1970, after changing its curriculum to a four-year program, the Michigan Department of Education authorized the school to confer four-year Bachelor's degrees. Consequently, the name changed to the Reformed Bible College (RBC). On April 21, 2006, the RBC changed its name to Kuyper College Abraham Kuyper, a Dutch Calvinist Theologian, considered the father of Neo-Calvinism.
[edit] Academics
Throughout its history, the focus of the college has always been the development of students for Christian leadership service. The college offers 19 undergraduate programs and 16 study-abroad opportunities. All students graduate with both a Bible major and a professional area major.
