kuyper college also equip our students to become leaders—training them to take responsibility for who they are, to accept where God has placed them, and with the skills He's given them, make a godly impact in the lives of others.

It is all of this, plus the extraordinary results-driven commitment of our students to serve others, that makes Kuyper College very different and unique in our educational mission and environment.

Kuyper College was founded in 1939 as Reformed Bible Institute (RBI). RBI had a very clear focus--appropriately defined in scope--with a three-year curriculum that offered a practical, focused and expedient track into foreign and domestic missions. 

In 1970, after an almost five year redesign of curriculum and programs, the Department of Education of the State of Michigan gave the school the right to confer a four-year bachelor's degree. As a result, RBI changed its name to RBC—Reformed Bible College.
