Kuyper College

Kuyper College awarded 10 bachelor's degrees in social work in the most recent reporting year, ranking #417 of the 587 colleges nationally that offer the degree. This is a small program, which cuts both ways: cohorts are tight and faculty access is easy, but course rotations can be less frequent and specialization options narrower than at a larger school.

41.0% of students complete their degree, below the 50.4% median across BSW-awarding colleges — worth asking the department about directly. Students who finish take a median of 5 years to do it. Transfer students actually outperform first-time entrants here (54.6% vs 41.7%), which is a good signal if you are coming from a community college.

The average student pays $17,669 a year after grants and scholarships — about the same as the $17,548 median across the 22 BSW colleges in Michigan. 68.0% of first-time students receive Pell Grants, a high share that usually reflects a student body with substantial financial need — and a financial aid office practiced at handling it. Net price is the number that matters when comparing programs, not sticker tuition — and because most social work roles are with government or nonprofit employers, graduates are typically eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
