Since its founding in 1876, Grove City College, committed to Christian principles, has sought to provide liberal and professional education of the highest caliber.

Long recognized for its academic quality, Grove City College insists that all its graduates possess, in addition to specialized knowledge in major or professional fields, a high level of cultural literacy and communication skills. Students are required to complete 38-50 credit hours of general education courses with emphases in the humanities, social sciences, quantitative and logical reasoning, laboratory sciences, and foreign language.

This program of studies in a broad range of liberal arts and sciences, consistent with many national recommendations for excellence, helps to insure that Grove City College graduates have the marks of educated persons, whatever their profession.

Nationally-syndicated columnist Walter Williams, speaking about the dumbing down of higher education, stated, "There are some notable alternatives where youngsters can get an excellent liberal arts education. Grove City College is one of those colleges that most readily comes to mind."
