Graduate With No Debt

WorkPlace Partnership

Kuyper College’s WorkPlace Partnership program is the only program in Michigan where every student may earn a business leadership degree and have a part-time, entry-level business position lined up to help pay tuition costs while learning how to succeed in the marketplace.

Business Leadership Program

With options for both two-year associate’s and four-year bachelor’s degrees, you will learn about and find the type of position and industry where you will thrive! Work-based learning is a core component of Kuyper.

Making College Affordable

When the WorkPlace Partnership program’s compensation is added to available federal and state aid, you may be able to graduate, dependent on the level of available grants received, with no debt! Compensation will flow through direct payments to your student account, tax free.

Be Ahead at Graduation

WorkPlace Partnership program partners are leading organizations in West Michigan, making higher education accessible and affordable in an urban setting to students from all backgrounds. The WorkPlace Partnership program will line up students at a job with a partner organization. You will graduate with both an academic transcript and a work transcript, giving you a significant edge in today’s competitive job market.

Real World

Christ-Centered

You will learn in the classroom and at work while becoming a Christ-centered leader rooted in a Christian worldview.
