TheKee – The Kuyper Education Experience
Kuyper College offers Bachelor and Associate degrees in a wide variety of academic majors. Together, these ministry and professional majors form one of seven foundational elements that make Kuyper a very unique college. At Kuyper we call the sum of these elements… “TheKee” or The Kuyper Education Experience.
A major component of TheKee is our continuous and intentional program of Spiritual Formation. It is part of every aspect of the College. Through it, we help our students discern their spiritual gifts, mature in the understanding of whom they are in Christ and live a vibrant and fruitful life of ministry and service to others.
Other important elements of TheKee are our Internship and Field Education programs. In partnership with nationally recognized ministries and organizations, these programs allow our students to apply the knowledge and skills they’ve acquired in the classroom to every-day situations. These comprehensive programs, which are part of our standard curriculum, help students begin the transition from the theoretical to the practical before graduating into the world of ministry and service.
TheKee also offers our students learning and service opportunities in several locations throughout the world including Israel, China, Kenya, Japan, Switzerland, South Africa, Mexico and Romania among many others. This provides our students a broader global perspective of places and people beyond their borders.
An additional and critically important component of TheKee is the college’s continual emphasis on embracing and promoting diversity. Our student body’s representation of more than 25 denominations allows them to live and interact with others of like faith yet, different doctrinal beliefs. However, multi-denominational affiliation is only one part of the diversity equation. At Kuyper we also place a very high value on being a multi-cultural and ethnically diverse school. At Kuyper, our emphasis on multi-denominational, ethnic and multi-cultural diversity provides our student body with a representation of God’s love for the whole world, as well as a visible and tangible example of how to live that love through our relationship with others.
The last two elements of TheKee are made up by our faculty and by our Exceptional Value. First, our students benefit because of Kuyper's ratio of one faculty member for each 15 students. This allows our students to receive highly personalized and customized instruction of a committed and nationally known known for their subject matter expertise. This faculty ratio also provides our professors and students the opportunity of establishing relationships as they get to know each other outside of the classroom. The result is a life-enriching experience for both our professors and our students.
Secondly, one of the most important issues facing students is the cost of their education. Kuyper provides Exceptional Value ensures that our high-quality education is very affordable. Kuyper's tuition is significantly lower than comparable Christian colleges--an average of $6,000 les per year. In addition, Kuyper offers many scholarship opportunities, and our average financial package covers over 55 percent of total tuition costs. When our students add to our lower costs the quality of our academic programs, the spiritual and campus environment, and the extraordinary results that Kuyper graduates are achieving all over the world they find that a Kuyper education does indeed provide an exceptional value.
