Grove City College Because faith and freedom matter logo

Pursue Truth Freely. Grow in Community. Serve Others Confidently.
Faculty and staff equip students to discover and pursue their unique callings through an academically excellent and Christ-centered learning and living experience. Students flourish at Grove City College because faith is the foundation of everything they do. From the classroom to the practice fields, from the dining halls to the dormitories, the entire College community seeks to understand how they might bring God’s glory into all daily activities. Such a campus-wide commitment encourages and supports students as they develop into leaders with these core values: faithfulness, excellence, community, stewardship, and independence.

COMMUNITY | Grove City College is a place where real community takes root, enabling students to grow together and encourage each other as iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17). And with more than 140 student-led organizations available, you’ll find abundant opportunities to grow your gifts and build lasting community.

FINANCIAL VALUE | Tuition and costs run at about half the national average before scholarships and financial aid. Unlike most private colleges and universities, Grove City does not artificially inflate the price of tuition so that students (rather than the institution) unwittingly fund their classmates’ scholarships.

PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS | Students have access to exclusive internships and amazing opportunities for service. Thanks in part to our nationally ranked Career Services Office (frequently in the top 20), 95% of our graduates are employed or in graduate school within six months of graduation, going on to earn salaries ranking in the top 14% nationally for earnings. Grove City ensures that graduates are fully prepared not only to pursue a fulfilling career, but for a lifetime of professional success. 

RIGOROUS ACADEMICS | With a rigorous education grounded in the timeless truths of Scripture and a renowned liberal arts core, Grove City will equip you to make a meaningful impact through your vocation as you lead and serve wherever God calls you here or abroad. Our distinguished faculty come to Grove City with an inspiring passion for their fields and a commitment to investing in students’ lives as teachers and mentors in and out of the classroom. More than 97% of our 145 full-time faculty have terminal degrees from such prestigious institutions as Oxford, Cambridge, Princeton, Yale, Michigan, Virginia, Vanderbilt, Carnegie Mellon, and MIT, to name a few.

What Others are Saying

"The professors here really care about their students — you're not just a number in your classrooms. They want to get to know you and are not here for the money or prestige. They are here for the students and that means a lot to me."
— Justin Folger '23
