Elite career preparation in vibrant Christian community.

Since our founding in 1876, we’ve understood that students pursue higher education as a path to gainful employment and financial security. Ultimately, we see education as a means to growing in the wisdom and knowledge of the Lord (Col. 2:3).

Staffing one of the nation’s leading career services offices, we excel in opening rewarding career pathways for our students, whose education is rooted in the timeless truths of Scripture and a renowned liberal arts core that shapes them holistically.

Evidence of success.

Students leave here prepared to thrive. The Princeton Review ranked Grove City College #8 in the country for its career services office and for internships. 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 13% 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.

Our mission is to equip students to pursue their unique callings through an academically excellent and Christ-centered learning and living experience distinguished by a commitment to affordability and its promotion of the Christian worldview, the foundations of free society, and the love of neighbor.  

Grow intellectually, grow spiritually, grow in community. Become a leader. You have an opportunity to do it all at Grove City College.
