Why Grove City College?


ClassChange (4)

A higher purpose for higher education.

"Christ-centered, academically excellent, and affordable” are what the three stripes in Grove City College’s logo represent.

As high tuition costs, progressive indoctrination, weak academics, and the rising influence of AI are fueling society’s declining trust in the value of higher education, you can trust Grove City College. 
Be assured that Grove City is committed to developing graduates forged by rigorous, Christ-centered academics, a wisdom-producing humanities core curriculum, and a supportive campus community defined by the time-tested virtues and values you have poured into your child and that employers desire.

We believe it is important to pursue Truth freely, without ideological barriers or fear of reprisal, and we cultivate this type of environment within the context of historic conservative values. Our students learn to think intelligently, wisely, and deeply so that upon graduation they are equipped to lead joyfully and serve winsomely wherever God calls them in our rapidly changing world.

Evidence of success.

Students leave here prepared to thrive. Grove City College ranks #6 in the nation for its career services office. Also, 95% of our graduates are employed or in graduate school within six months of graduation — going on to earn salaries that rank us in the top 12% in the nation for alumni earnings.

“The academics are known to be excellent, so employers look to hire Grove City grads. It was reassuring to know that after four years all the hard work would pay off because a large majority of students are employed. In addition, as an accounting major, hearing that almost 100% of accounting majors have jobs before the senior year made a large impact on my college decision.” – Grove City Student quoted in The Princeton Review’s Best Value Colleges Guide

Our timeless mission and vision.

Our mission
We equip students to pursue their unique callings through a Christ-centered, academically excellent, and affordable learning and living experience.

Our vision
Grove City College strives to be a highly distinctive and comprehensive Christian liberal arts college of extraordinary value. Grounded in permanent ideas and conservative values and committed to the foundations of free society, we develop leaders of the highest proficiency, purpose, and principles ready to advance the common good.
