Dr. Nicholas V. Kroeze, President

I am very grateful for and proud of the academic leadership and faculty at Kuyper College! Their emphasis on quality, practical application and biblical worldview resonate clearly and strongly throughout the curriculum. The faculty’s desire is to not only teach well the content you see in this catalog—they also to inspire and motivate you as an individual in your own pursuit of God, your service to Him and your neighbor, and toward further scholarship as you develop your professional skills and impact. Thus, I hope that this catalog not only provides you with information, but also energizes you in engaging an education that will prepare you very well for the calling God has placed on your heart.

You likely will have questions regarding your best approach toward your academic goals. Be assured that the faculty and academic staff are eager to engage you in such a conversation. They will answer your technical questions and they will also listen closely as you share your personal goals, what you see as your areas of strength and where you feel most challenged. A strong characteristic of Kuyper College is the degree to which your spiritual giftedness, personal traits and academic ability are considered as a whole, helping faculty advise you well as a sister or brother in Christ. I encourage you to engage openly in the opportunities for conversation you will have throughout your time with us.

I welcome you now to explore the content of this catalog, note questions and thoughts you’d like to share with advisors, and to prepare yourself to engage enthusiastically with the course materials, your professors and your classmates. Welcome to Kuyper Col- lege!

2016-2017 Catalog 5 COLLEGE PROFILE Mission Kuyper College equips students with a biblical, Reformed worldview to serve effectively Christ’s church and his world.

Vision With the principal goal to equip Christians to be transformational leaders with a firm faith in God’s grace and a commitment to follow His call – to effectively serve His church and advance His kingdom throughout the world – the Kuyper community establishes the following vision: • As a college committed to a biblical, Reformed worldview, Kuyper College will be a unique, vital, and engaging learning community, characterized by innovation and excellence in its programs and educational partnerships. • We will enroll increasing numbers of academically prepared and motivated ministry-focused and service-focused students, and in the Reformed tradition, empower each person to discern their spiritual gifts, mature in the understanding of who they are in Christ, and live a vibrant and fruitful life of ministry and service to others. • We will provide extraordinary levels of personal attention to our students. • Our faculty will remain committed to outstanding teaching and scholarship.  We will enhance our reputation as a leading ministry-focused Christian leadership college that prepares it graduates for successful lives of service and ministry-focused endeavors throughout the world.

Core Values Primacy of Scripture We believe that the Bible is the Word of God and must guide our teaching, philosophy, lifestyle, and response to our ministry or vocational calling.

Biblical Worldview We believe history is directed and controlled by God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – toward the accomplishment of God’s purposes for all creation. Education at Kuyper College is conducted within the framework of a biblical worldview from which students can assimilate, synthesize, and respond to situations of life and learning.

Reformed Doctrine We understand and apply our faith and worldview according to the teachings of the Bible as summarized in the Heidelberg Catechism, the Canons of Dort, the Belgic Confession, and the Westminster Standards.

Academic Excellence We emphasize the importance of cultivating the mind as primary in providing quality, Christian higher education.

Holistic Development We strive to form world-class citizens who are academically, spiritually, socially, and morally discerning, just, and merciful leaders in church and society.

Caring Community We actively work toward a campus environment, denominationally and ethnically diverse in nature, where mentoring, mutual care, accountability, and encouragement are characteristic of students, faculty, and staff.

Statement of Faith

God

We believe that God is one being – infinitely just, wise, good, loving, holy, and existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the sovereign creator of the universe and by his providence sustains and rules all that he has made.

Scripture

We believe that the Old and New Testaments are the inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God, our final authority in matters of doctrine and practice.

Humanity

We believe that people were created in the image of God but fell into sin through the disobedience of Adam and Eve. As a result of the fall, all people are born sinful and in need of salvation.

Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ is fully divine and fully human and that he saves his people from their sins by his life, death, and resurrection.

The Holy Spirit

We believe that the Holy Spirit regenerates sinners, indwells believers, and enables them to live godly lives and use the spiritual gifts he has given them.

Salvation

We believe that sinners are justified by grace through faith on the basis of the finished work of Christ (his death and resurrection) and persevere in this life by the power of God.

The Church

We believe that God is calling people from the whole human race to believe in his Son, Jesus Christ. They enjoy the pro- tection of God and fellowship with each other in communities of faith until Jesus returns.

The Future

We believe that Christ is ruling now over the church and the world through his Word and Spirit. He will return to judge the living and the dead and renew the whole creation.

2016-2017 Catalog 55 BUSINESS LEADERSHIP Business Leadership

Department Faculty Marc Andreas, B.A., M.B.A., Assistant Professor of Business Leadership and Business Leadership Program Director

The purpose of the Business Leadership program is to integrate good theology with good business theory to prepare globally competent business leaders to fulfill their calling. During their time of study, students will gain competencies that will prepare them for a variety of organizational settings where skills in business, leadership, and organizational planning are required. Graduates will be equipped to be successful both within existing corporate structures and as entrepreneurs and business professionals in the marketplace.

The term “business leadership” has been selected to describe the major, recognizing that leadership in the organizations where our graduates will serve goes beyond traditional organizational management or business administration. It is not just marketing, nor finance, nor accounting, nor international business. It is broader, more general. It satisfies all of the basic competencies of a business degree, but with the added foci of theological and biblical grounding and global awareness.

Program Outcomes Students graduating from the Business Leadership Program at Kuyper College will demonstrate:  Servant Leadership: Value the personal, inter-personal, and organizational benefits of practicing servant leadership.  Business Literacy: Demonstrate business literacy in their analysis, construction, and communication of business information and financial statements.  Strategic Thinking: Appraise market trends, both internally and externally, in order to build a stronger organization.  Innovation: Develop skills in business innovation in order to create enduring value in peoples’ lives.  Ethical Soundness: Integrate their Christian faith with their professional practices.

60 Kuyper College INTERCULTERAL STUDIES INTERCULTURAL STUDIES

Department Faculty Lisa Hoogeboom, M.T.S., Associate Professor of Intercultural and Biblical Studies Teresa Renkema, M.A., Professor of Intercultural Communication A Biblical Reformed Worldview for Intercultural Studies In the beginning God created a beautiful world that would bring him honor and glory – a place in which the relationships between God, human beings, and the rest of creation were perfect and in perfect fellowship. Because our first parents re- belled from this calling, all creation was marred, and human beings became alienated from God, each other, and the rest of creation. However, God sovereignly provided a way out of this helpless situation through the sacrifice of his Son, Jesus Christ. Now, renewed by the Spirit of God, Christians work toward the reconciliation of all things and spread the good news of God’s salvation in Jesus Christ. Christians are called to affirm God’s love for all human beings as well as all creation. Christians are called to give witness to the full gospel message to the world through words and actions. Christians are called to make disciples of all nations, bringing them into the universal church until the end of time when people from every tribe and nation will worship him.

Intercultural Studies Admission Requirements and Procedures Enrollment into the Intercultural Studies program is open to all students. Students choosing the Intercultural Studies major must make formal application to the program, normally in the second semester of the sophomore year. Application forms can be acquired from the Academic Office or the Professional Education Department’s assistant.

• Maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.2 • Apply by February 28 of his/her sophomore year • Have completed or be currently enrolled in MI 121 Introduction to Missions  Fulfill application requirements by February 28 of the student’s sophomore year.

Intercultural Studies Program Learning Outcomes When students complete the Intercultural Studies program, they will be equipped to find employment in the intercultural field or go on to graduate school. They will have had both a solid theoretical foundation in missiology and a variety of practical experiences that have allowed students to test theory in real life. This preparation provides a solid foundation to move successfully to graduate study in missiology or to apply to a mission agency.

2016-2017 Catalog 61 INTERCULTERAL STUDIES Upon completion of the Intercultural Studies program, students will be able to:  Articulate a biblical understanding of humanity to guide professional practice.  Engage culture and cultural practice with respect and discernment.  Contextualize the whole message of the gospel through word and deed.  Understand how a Christian perspective on community engagement, development, and education is used to address issues of power, poverty, racism, and other social injustices.  Identify themselves as intercultural professionals and conduct themselves accordingly. apply critical thinking skills to cross cultural events and situations.

Department Faculty Teresa Renkema, M.A., Professor of Intercultural Communication

A Biblical Reformed Worldview for TESOL Kuyper’s TESOL program equips students to use teaching English as a way to present a testimony of Christ’s love that transcends national identity. Not only will students be provided with professional knowledge and skills within the framework of a biblical world view, students will also develop a greater intercultural sensitivity and understanding. Because English is one of the most widely used languages in the world, learning how to speak it is a goal for many people around the globe. In addition, the growing immigrant population in the United States has a great need fro qualified, trained English language teachers. At Kuyper, students may choose from two options, an internationally recognized TESOL certificate and minor or an ESL endorsement and TESOL certificate.

Students choosing the certificate program in TESOL must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5 in all TESOL courses and an overall minimum GPA of 2.2. Students who fail to maintain this standard will not be eligible to do the internship. Students should apply to the program in their sophomore year, or after taking their first TESOL course.

Program Outcomes Upon completion of the TESOL program, students will be able to:  Assess the English Language Learner’s (ELLs) language skills and communicative ability using a variety of assessment tools and practices.  Use their knowledge of the components of the English language and of language acquisition theory to effectively plan instruction that meets the needs and goals of their students.  Articulate the relationship between Christian English language teaching and Reformed worldview.  Understand the relationship between language and culture and use this knowledge to enhance English language learning and teaching.  Function as professionals within the field of TESOL.

66 Kuyper College INTERCULTERAL STUDIES Option 1: TESOL Certificate • For all undergraduate students wishing to make TESOL a part of their college program regardless of their major. • For others interested in teaching ESL or currently doing so, but without training. • For students whose goals are to teach ESL internationally or in community based programs in the U.S. • For international students wishing to return to their own countries with knowledge of teaching English as a second language (ESL).

Required Courses: CO 240 Second Language Acquisition 3 CO 306 Introduction to Linguistics 3 or CO 320 English Grammar CO 348 Methods and Techniques of ESL 3 (includes service learning) CO 350 Curriculum & Materials Development 3 CO 441 TESOL Internship I 3 CO 442 TESOL Seminar I 1

Option 2: TESOL Certificate and ESL Endorsement • For students majoring in elementary or secondary education who wish to be endorsed in ESL. • For students who wish to apply to the ESL teaching minor at Cornerstone University.

Required Courses: CO 240 Second Language Acquisition 3 CO 306 Introduction to Linguistics 3 CO 320 English Grammar 3 CO 348 Methods and Techniques of ESL 3 CO 370 Sociolinguistics 3

2016-2017 Catalog 67 INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES

Department Faculty: Andrew Zwart, M.Ed., Instructor

Intended for students who wish to pursue more than one area of study while gaining a solid core of Bible and theology, Kuyper College’s interdisciplinary program provides an avenue for students to design a personalized field of inquiry. The interdisciplinary studies major draws from multiple academic fields to provide students with a Christian college experience that will equip them for vocational objectives that lie outside the boundaries of traditional majors. Working with an advisor, students create an independent educational plan that addresses their unique interests and goals.

To fulfill the requirements of this major, a student must satisfactorily complete 45 credits. With guidance from their advisor, students will identify two to four competencies related to their vocational goals and then choose courses designed to help them meet these competencies. During their senior year, students will also attend two seminars that guide them in completing a final capstone research project (six credits in total). Bible and theology courses do not satisfy requirements for this major. At least fifteen credits must be upper-level junior or senior courses taken at Kuyper College. These courses may not overlap with the general education requirements of the bachelor’s degree.

To be eligible for admission, the student must:

• Have and maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5. • Submit a written plan that includes the student’s vocational objectives as well as the main competencies required for this objective. • Complete an interview with the coordinator of the interdisciplinary program.

Program Outcomes

Upon completion of the Interdisciplinary Studies program, students will:

 Develop skills of self-direction as they articulate their vocational goal and design their own program curriculum to this end.  Develop the ability to synthesize knowledge from a number of different disciplines and apply this interdisciplinary approach to a particular question / issue in their vocational field.  Assess their own learning and growth in their vocational field of study and apply this to their chosen question / issue related to this field.  Become more familiar with the praxis of their vocational field and learn to conduct primary research in that area.

2016-2017 Catalog 71 MUSIC & WORSHIP MUSIC AND WORSHIP STUDIES

Department Faculty Carol Hochhalter, B.A., M.W.S., D.W.S., Associate Professor of Worship Studies, Program Director

A Biblical Reformed Worldview for Music and Worship Studies Worship is a fundamental aspect of Christian life and therefore it is essential to understand the biblical principles of worshipping God and how to respond to God’s presence. Contemporary culture reveals a strong interest and energy around the themes of worship, which are often translated into conflict and debate over worship. This tension suggests that there is a tremendous need for learning more about how to worship the triune God. In response to requests from churches and pastors across the nation, Kuyper College is offering a music and worship studies major. This program serves as a training ground for directors of music and worship, fine arts pastors and other Christian leaders. Through this program, men and women become grounded in theology and biblical principles, and equipped with the skills to plan and lead biblically faithful and culturally relevant worship in a variety of settings. Admission Requirements and Procedures Students choosing worship as a major must make formal application to the program. All students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.2 and a minimum GPA of 2.5 in all worship courses. To be eligible for admission, the student must: • Pass Level 1 music proficiency exam by April 1 of his or her sophomore year. (Placement exams will be given upon college admission so that students can enroll in appropriate applied music courses to successfully reach proficiency.) • Maintain the minimum GPA as listed above. • Submit an autobiographical statement. • Submit three letters of recommendation, one from a faculty member outside of the music and worship program, one from a pastor or adult spiritual mentor, and one from an employer or volunteer supervisor. • Level 2 music proficiency must be accomplished before students begin their internships.

Program Outcomes Upon completion of the worship program, graduates will:  Display knowledge of the biblical and historical foundations of Christian worship, using these roots as the starting point for planning culturally relevant worship: engagement with God.  Demonstrate interpersonal communication, team work, leadership and conflict management skills.  Use the arts and technology wisely in Christian worship, so as to enable rather than distract from the worship of the people.  Demonstrate the competence and presence to play an instrument (piano, keyboard, organ, or guitar) and sing to lead worship confidently.  Have a solid grasp of music theory, able to involve a wide variety of instrumentalists and vocalists in worship.  Understand the role of Worship Director as pastor to the congregation as well as to the musicians and artists, helping to discover and deploy the gifts of the people and recognizing the formative nature of Spirit-filled worship.

Accelerated Pre-Seminary Program Kuyper College has established a consortium agreement with Calvin Theological Seminary (CTS) and Grand Rapids Theological Seminary (GRTS) that will allow Kuyper College Pre-Seminary Studies students to complete a course of studies at both institutions in a reduced time frame. Students will be able to achieve two degrees, a B.S. from Kuyper College and an M.Div. from CTS or GRTS. These degrees can be accomplished in six years by following the course plan detailed below, instead of seven years (if the two degrees were taken separately).

Students from Kuyper College participating in the consortium program will normally transfer to seminary after three years of full-time study at Kuyper College. Students will normally complete their college studies after three years at Kuyper College and one year at seminary. Students will apply to seminary during their third year of study at Kuyper College. Students participating in the consortium agreement will pay current Kuyper College tuition rates during their first three years of full-time pre-seminary studies, and receive their financial aid from Kuyper College during the first three years.

Students will transfer to seminary after three years of full-time study at Kuyper College, at which time students in this consortium agreement will get their financial aid from the seminary.

Students participating in this program must meet the entrance requirements of both institutions. Students must also observe the standards found in the Kuyper College Student Handbook and in the seminary’s Student Handbook.

Contact the seminary directly for details regarding Advanced Placement exams.

86 Kuyper College SOCIAL WORK

BACHELOR OF SOCIAL WORK (BSW) Department Faculty Greg Scott, L.M.S.W., Professor and Social Work Program Director Judi Ravenhorst Meerman, L.M.S.W., Ph.D., Professor and Field Practicum Director

Social Work and a Biblical Reformed Worldview Welcome to the exciting world of generalist social work education. If God has placed on your heart a burden for hurting people, groups or communities, and a desire to “loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the op- pressed free and break every yoke...to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter; when you see the naked, to clothe him and not to turn away” (Isaiah 58:6-7), then social work may be your calling.

Christians are called to establish harmony, justice and healing. Having been reunited with God through grace in Christ, Chris- tians desire to serve and love others. God is a God of shalom who seeks for God’s people to dwell in peace, restoring broken relationships, promoting social justice, redressing discrimination, and caring for humanity.

Social Work Defined Social work is a profession which helps individuals, groups, communities, institutions and nations. It solves problems, de- fends social justice, and works to improve the social conditions of society. Social work enhances the well-being of all people and their environment.

Social Work Program Mission Statement The mission of Kuyper College’s baccalaureate social work program is to equip students with the knowledge, values, and skills for generalist practice in entry-level social work positions within the framework of a biblical, Reformed worldview.

The goals of the social work program at Kuyper College are:

1. To prepare students for generalist social work practice in entry-level positions with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.

2. To integrate a biblical, Reformed world and life view with the knowledge, values, and skills of generalist social work practice.

Students will develop generalist social work practice skills to work in public and private social service systems and international settings. The program strives to enable students to integrate their biblical Reformed worldview and social work education into their professional practice.

Emphasis is placed on preparing students with a beginning theoretical understanding that will enable them to work with individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities. Attention is also placed on helping students to think globally in the field of social work. Students who complete the social work major will be prepared for graduate education.

The social work program is consistent with and a natural extension of the mission, vision and core values of the college. Within a biblical, Reformed worldview, the social work department seeks to equip students to serve effectively Christ’s church and his world.

Program Outcomes Upon completion of the program, students will be able to accomplish the following competencies:

• Identify as a professional social worker and conduct oneself accordingly • Apply social work ethical principles to guide professional practice • Apply critical thinking to inform and communicate professional judgments • Engage diversity and difference in practice 2016-2017 Catalog 87 SOCIAL WORK • Advance human rights and social and economic justice • Engage in research-informed practice and practice-informed research • Apply knowledge of human behavior and the social environment • Engage in policy practice to advance social and economic well-being and to deliver effective social work services • Respond to contexts that shape practice • Engage, assess, intervene, and evaluate with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities • Apply a biblical, Reformed worldview to social work knowledge, values, and skills

Social Work Non-Discrimination Policy In keeping with a biblical, Reformed worldview, the social work program provides equal educational opportunity. Committed to the belief that all human beings are created equal in the image of God, all must be afforded worth, dignity, and respect. In regard to recruitment, admission, financial aid, retention, graduation policies, and practices, the program does not discriminate against any person or group on the basis of class, color, culture, ethnic or national origin, gender, age, race, veteran status, disability, sexual orientation, political orientation, marital status, or family structure. The social work program reserves the right to discriminate on the basis of religion under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.

Accreditation The social work program is accredited through the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) to offer the Bachelor of So- cial Work degree (BSW). Accreditation provides accountability, consistency, and standards which ensure that programs are providing the highest level of professional education for their students. A degree accredited by CSWE allows students entrance into advanced placement M.S.W. programs, approval for state licensure and credibility for entry-level social work employment.

Life Experience Policy:

The Kuyper College social work program does not give academic credit for life or previous work experience, in whole or in part, to satisfy any course requirement within the professional curriculum, including the field practicum.

The Social Work Admissions Committee reserves the right to dismiss students from the program for reasons it judges as immoral and unethical behavior, poor academic performance and/or emotional instability which may jeopardize the well- being of themselves, the college, field placements and/or clients.

To appeal the admission decision or process, the applicant should send a letter to the provost within two weeks of receipt of the committee’s decision. Detailed guidelines for appeal are outlined in the Social Work Program Handbook.

The Bachelor of Social Work degree qualifies students for entry-level generalist practice in a variety of settings. To complete the social work program within four years, students may need to take courses during the spring session or during the summer.

International Social Work Experience

The Kuyper College social work program offers an overseas social work experience in the Dominican Republic, Uganda, and Romania for the fall or spring session as a block semester field placement. These experiences broaden the student’s education in global awareness and practice. E-mail the program director, [email protected], for more details.

92 Kuyper College YOUTH MINISTRY

YOUTH MINISTRY Department Faculty Brian Telzerow, M.A., M.Div., Professor of Youth Ministry Richelle White, M.S., M.A., M.Div., Ph.D., Associate Professor of Youth Ministry,

A Biblical Reformed Worldview for Youth Ministry Young people possess the potential to move and shake the economic, political, social, and religious structures of the world. Who better to reach with relationships that convey the reconciling message of Christ (1 Thess. 2:8) than those who are first- hand participants in the heart of culture (John 17:18)? This message offers eternal salvation as well as transformation for the whole person and the systems in which people live. Youth ministries that invite true discipleship go beyond counting converts to equipping them for hope-filled participation in the kingdom of God.

The youth ministry program partners with the Bible and Theology major and Arts & Sciences classes to holistically train and equip leaders to develop future leaders for the kingdom of God. Specifically, it prepares students to engage the current youth culture with the gospel of Jesus Christ through intentional relationships that embody truth and love. This marriage of evangelism and discipleship can occur in traditional youth pastor roles, parachurch ministries, community youth agencies, international training organizations, or missionary settings.

Admissions Requirements and Procedures Students choosing the youth ministry major must make formal application to the program in the second semester of their sophomore year. All students must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.2 and a minimum GPA of 2.5 in all youth ministry courses. The application process includes the following:

• an autobiographical statement • completion of Introduction to Educational Ministries and Foundations of Youth Ministry courses • three letters of recommendation from a faculty member outside the major, a pastor or adult spiritual mentor, and an employer or volunteer coordinator  an interview with the youth ministry faculty

Youth Ministry Competencies Upon completion of the Youth Ministry Program, students will be able to…

GO Enter today’s contemporary youth culture to show love and a desire to know adolescents in their environment. This includes engaging their family. MAKE Train and equip youth ministry volunteers, staff, and families; modeling and encouraging discipleship through the word of God and serving others. TEACH Teach and communicate the word of God effectively through various models and communicative frameworks. APPLY Apply knowledge, skills, and training from the classroom into the field of youth ministry. LEARN Demonstrate knowledge, skills, and empathy in ministering to youth of various cultures and subcultures through the art of contextualization. LEAD Demonstrate servant leadership by sharing responsibility with others to help them realize God’s gifting and equipping in their lives for ministry.

Accounting The Bachelor of Science in accounting degree has a threefold purpose: first, to prepare students for entry-level positions in business; second, to prepare students to serve in administrative roles within Christian organizations; and finally, to prepare students for graduate study in accounting.

Many states, including Michigan, now require 150 semester hours of education to become a certified public accountant (CPA). The state of Michigan allows a candidate for the CPA to take the certification exam after completing a bachelor’s degree with appropriate courses. The courses listed below will meet those requirements within 123 semester hours, but candidates will need to complete the 150 semester hours and experience requirements before being granted the CPA certificate in Michigan. Most Kuyper College graduates in accounting will pursue a master’s degree in a related field to meet the 150-hour requirement. Some states require that the 150 hours be completed before taking the certification exam.

Education Majors

Kuyper College’s teacher education program is a collaborative program with Cornerstone University offering both elementary and secondary education degrees. This joint teacher education program is ideal for students who want to teach and who also want to expand their understanding of God, his word, and his world. Cornerstone University has a high quality teacher education program and shares Kuyper College’s vision for Christian service.

The purpose of the program is to prepare students to serve as teachers in public or Christian schools. This is accomplished by developing within students the knowledge, skills and Christian character to think critically, to work toward making positive changes in themselves and their society, to enable them to function as servant leaders in their school and community, and to bring glory to God.

This purpose is accomplished through a carefully sequenced teacher education program that integrates the knowledge base needed for teaching subject area content with the developmental skills necessary for effective instruction.

Successful candidates may be recommended to the Michigan Board of Education for certification when all program and certification requirements are met. Graduates are eligible to teach in public and Christian schools and may be provided career counseling and job placement assistance by the Service Learning Office.

In addition, education students have the option to extend their directed teaching practicum as a intercultural experience in selected schools around the world through a program known as the Christian College Teacher Education Coordinating Council.

In five years, students receive a Bachelor of Science degree from Kuyper College, a Bachelor of Arts degree from Cornerstone, and certification in elementary or secondary education. Together, the two colleges provide a program that will educate students to be teachers and equip them for Christian service.

Consortium students must work closely with their Kuyper College and Cornerstone University advisors in order to successfully meet program requirements.

166 Kuyper College COLLABORATIVE PROGRAMS

Study Abroad and Off-Campus Studies Kuyper students have the opportunity to study off campus, either in the U.S or in many countries abroad. These opportunities offer students the chance to gain college credit, explore another country and experience a different culture. Students return home with a broader understanding of God and their place in his world. These experiences also strengthen the student’s intercultural skills, which are highly desired by many employers and ministries.

Financial aid can be applied to any of the off-campus programs with which Kuyper has a partnership, and the classes in the program, if approved by the registrar, can be applied to a degree at Kuyper. Because credit is granted through Kuyper College, all financial matters will be carried out through Kuyper College as well. The student will never pay less than the current Kuyper College cost for full-time tuition and room and board (10-meal plan). Any cost above this amount will be billed to the student’s account. Students must be in residence at Kuyper for at least one semester prior to study abroad. There is an application process to be followed for each program; students should work with their academic advisor to begin the process and make careful plans.
