Be equipped to follow your missional calling.

Grove City College is the only institution in the United States to offer an accelerated degree program allowing you to earn a bachelor’s and a master’s in theology and ministry in just four years. Our intensive and practical curriculum will train you for ministry and qualify you for ordination, whether you’re called into the pastorate, cross-cultural missions, or another area of ministry. You will thrive in our cohort-based model as you study and serve together with other students, intern in a variety of churches, and receive personal mentorship from godly pastors and faculty. Enter the ministry immediately with confidence, vocational experience, and minimal debt.

Program Highlights
  • Full Bachelor’s in Biblical & Religious Studies plus a Master’s in Theology & Ministry in just four years, rather than the traditional five or six-year track.
    • This program offers complete preparation for ministry, as an MA is sufficient for ordination in most denominations.
    • 36 transferrable MA credits, saving you valuable time and resources should you choose to pursue a Master of Divinity at another institution.
  • Personal access to faculty mentors — accomplished scholars and experienced pastors, ministry workers, and teachers in the Pittsburgh area. Their diverse expertise will greatly enrich your education and personal faith.
  • Field education through church placements as well as internship and summer ministry requirements with local congregations and ministries, ensuring that you enter the ministry with real church experience.
  • Interdisciplinary training in management, leadership, and entrepreneurship, preparing you for the logistics of running a church.
  • Internship and networking opportunities with local youth and educational ministries and mission organizations around the globe.
  • 156 credit hours (120 undergraduate-level credits + 36 graduate-level credits) of courses that lay a solid foundation in Scripture, ministry, and church leadership. For detailed course descriptions, view the College Catalog.
  • Ministry-focused cohort model, ensuring that you graduate with a deep-rooted community of fellow pastors and mission workers to lean on as you enter ministry.
  • Nearly 20 student-led campus ministry groups and several mission and service opportunities across the country and around the world, giving you abundant ways to grow in servant leadership and put biblical principles into practice.
  • Chapel program that catalyzes spiritual development on campus, offering regular opportunities to worship corporately and glean wisdom from diverse leaders of the Christian tradition who share insightful perspectives on the issues facing your generation.
  • Vocation-enriching humanities core classes woven into your academic schedule that will help you solidify your worldview and cultivate critical thinking skills, empathy, cultural knowledge, and a well-rounded understanding of the world and your place in it.

Career Outcomes
  • If you’re like 96% of Grove City College graduates, you will land a job in ministry or missions within six months of graduation. Or gain entry to your choice of seminaries and graduate schools should you choose to continue your studies.
    • Recent graduates have pursued professional ministry degrees at distinguished seminaries including Gordon-Conwell, Covenant, Westminster, and Reformed Theological, as well as Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Others have pursued master’s and doctorate degrees at prestigious universities across the country and abroad including Oxford, Princeton, Yale, Johns Hopkins, Cambridge, Duke, Notre Dame, and Edinburgh.
    • Of those who pursue full-time work directly after graduating, many enter pastoral ministry and church-related professions in youth ministry and missions, while some pursue vocations in other industries—from the marketplace to STEM to education.
  • No matter where God calls you to preach, serve, or teach, you will be well equipped to handle life’s challenges and speak Truth into the lives of others as a thoughtful, compassionate, and dedicated Christ follower.
