From the School
Grove City College is a leading liberal arts and STEM college that integrates faith and learning in a tight-knit residential community an hour from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1876, Grove City College was modeled after the nation's fourth oldest institution of higher education, Princeton University. Thanks to the vision of its founder, Isaac Ketler, and the support of its benefactor and board chairman, Sunoco founder Joseph Newton Pew, Grove City College sought to provide an affordable education of the highest quality rooted in a rich Christian, moral, and ethical tradition with a firm commitment to promoting individual freedom, personal responsibility, and the common good. To this day, the College maintains its foundational purpose, equipping its 2,400 students to pursue their unique callings through an academically excellent and affordable education in a Christ-centered learning and living community.
As one of the nation's most rigorous Christian colleges, Grove City ranks in the top 12% of colleges and universities in the nation for alumni earnings, yet its tuition costs less than half that of peer institutions such as Wheaton College, the College of William & Mary, the University of Virginia, the University of Chicago, Emory University, and Williams College. Expense is not spared, however, when it comes to maintaining a dynamic community where students can fully engage on a stunning campus drafted by the venerable Olmsted landscape architecture firm. The Olmsteds designed New York's Central Park and quintessential college campuses such as Yale, Brown, Cornell, American University, Harvard Business School, Notre Dame, Stanford, and Johns Hopkins. Atypical for Christian colleges, Grove City excels in science, engineering, and computer science, with 42% of its students in the STEM disciplines.
Because of an institutional emphasis on human flourishing, Grove City students can reach their full potential in a vibrant social scene that is conducive to meeting the college's high academic standards. "As iron sharpens iron" (Proverbs 27:17), Grove City students push each other toward excellence, which is measurably reflected in the college's 96% job and graduate school placement rate (from a 98% knowledge rate for the Class of 2017 within six months of graduation). The financial future for Grove City graduates is bright, especially considering they typically make 9% more than competitor college alumni during their first five years of employment, and 21% more ten years after graduation.
Known for its 1984 U.S. Supreme Court case, Grove City College v. Bell, the College provides its students with private scholarships, loans, and need-based assistance while remaining free from federal government entanglement to safeguard freedom of conscience. In addition to operating nearly debt-free, the College practices transparent tuition pricing, abstaining from the common practice of artificial "discounting." As a result, the College does not transfer tuition dollars from some students to others as a recruiting tool. Thus, all students are charged the same price and enjoy equal opportunity to seek financial assistance and manage any remaining debt responsibly. In fact, 41% of graduates graduate debt free. Thanks to the College's high four-year graduation and job-placement rates, Grove City students typically repay their loans three years early.
So where does this college committed to the old Princeton ideal of faith-and-learning integration fit into the spectrum of higher education? At the intersection of academic excellence, human flourishing in a Christian context, personal and professional success, and true value-that's Grove City College.

Students Say
Located an hour north of Pittsburgh, Pennysylvania, Grove City College provides a Christ-centered, non-sectarian environment in which students and faculty "create a vibrant and uplifting community that encourages one another to live to the fullest in a Christ-like manner." The school desires to see students excel inside and outside the classroom, integrating Christ "into all aspects of education and a career for the future," and it "challenges ... students to grow in all aspect— intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and athletically." And, this philosophy works: "The majority of the students here apply their spiritual relationship with God to all activities on campus, whether it be academic or social." The low cost of tuition is just gravy, as is the strong alumni network and "really good reputation with employers."
The professors at Grove City "vary from department to department" but on the whole they are "engaging, approachable, and very knowledgeable about the course material" and "willing to personally invest in the students." Many expect a lot from their students and assign a heavy workload, but people find the academics to be "challenging, but not suffocating." The "very intelligent, friendly, and available" faculty usually "have extensive office hours and are more than willing to help [students]." Current students say their instructors maintain "a very open dialogue about various beliefs," and "challenge [students] to ask hard questions" both in an area of study and on a more personal level.

Students Say
Boasting “very high job placement rates,” Grove City prides itself on helping students succeed during and after their formal education. One student says, “The greatest strength of my school is how dedicated they are to helping students find a job and create a future. The Career Services Office is dedicated to helping students in any way that they can and have special events to help students network.” Last year alone, over 170 employers and graduate schools attended the fall Career Fair and the college hosted 247 on-campus recruiting events with employers like Amazon, IBM, PNC Financial Services Group, and Nestle. In 2016, 96 percent of Grove City graduates secured employment or admission to graduate school.
Overview
From The School
Tuition, Room, Board and Fees
Understanding how to pay for college shouldn't be difficult. We are confident our bottom line is financially comparable to or less than that of other private liberal arts institutions and even many public universities. Importantly what we do works for our students. Grove City's four year graduation rate, job placement rate, alumni earnings, and time to pay off student loans is remarkable when compared to most of our competitors.
In fact, that's not just our opinion. Consumers Digest rated us as the #1 "Top Value" private liberal arts college in the nation. This ranking is based not only on the cost of education, but also on the academic achievement of our incoming freshmen and the quality of the education we provide our students throughout their time with us.
Besides affordability, the founders of Grove City College had another guiding principle: a commitment to maintaining our independence as an educational institution. That is why we operate without any federal assistance. Grove City College does not want to be held to the burdensome requirements that come with accepting federal aid. We continue to believe that our commitment to affordability, safeguarding freedom of conscience, and being able to act freely and independently justifies that decision.
Tuition and room and board for a year is less than $28,000 before scholarships and financial aid. That's about half the cost of competitive private colleges and the lowest cost among Pennsylvania's private schools. The College offers no discounts to attract students, since those discounts only result in higher costs for other students. Many students are able to graduate with little or no debt. In fact, 41% of the 2017 class graduated debt free.

Students Say
As might be expected, those who come to Grove City are "largely Christian kids," who are "generally polite and law-abiding," and the student body tends to swing conservative or moderate politically. According to students, the college "avoids being ... restrictive or closed-minded." "Grove City students know what they believe, but are open to discussion," a student explains. These students collectively provide "the most friendly atmosphere" many have ever been a part of. "Peers I've never even met smile at me as I pass them on the sidewalk," describes one happy student. The college as a whole "welcomes students with open arms," and it is very easy to find "a community that encourages and inspires one another." There are a fair number of type A personalities here: Grove City students are "hardworking and highly motivated to do well," and "many people over-commit themselves to the various on-campus groups."
Overview
From The School
Location
Grove City College is located north of Pittsburgh in western Pennsylvania in a classic college town setting. Ranked nationally as the #2 Most Beautiful Christian College campus the picturesque 180-acre campus was designed by the same architects that designed the New York's Central Park and the U.S Capitol grounds. Neo-gothic buildings are set on wide lawns, surrounded by century-old trees. Students enjoy numerous activities in the culturally rich city of Pittsburgh (located one hour south of campus) and the historically significant western Pennsylvania/eastern Ohio region. Parks nearby afford students opportunities for outdoor activities such as white water rafting, hiking, caving, horseback riding, and water sports. The town of Grove City, also nationally ranked as one of the best small towns in America offers students community activities, restaurants, coffee shops, eclectic shopping experiences including premium outlet stores four miles from campus.
Campus Facilities & Equipment
Campus encompasses academic buildings, including the state-of-the-art STEM Hall; 10 residence halls; the Henry Buhl Library; the Physical Learning Center, which features a competition pool, indoor track, basketball arena, fitness rooms, and a bowling alley; Breen Student Union, home to the GeDunk caf? and campus bookstore; the Pew Fine Arts Center, featuring three theaters, practice rooms, studio space, and an art gallery; a Christian activities building; varsity sports facilities, including Robert E. Thorne Field, soccer, baseball and softball fields, as well as expansive intramural playing fields; a technical learning center that is home to WSAJ studios; and Harbison Chapel, a beautiful neo-gothic cathedral that anchors the campus' central quad.
The College's Information Technology Program (ITP) ensures that each incoming freshman and transfer student is issued a lightweight tablet PC and printer/scanner/copier that provides direct access to campus-wide technology services, all as part of the College's continuing effort to integrate information literacy.
Off-Campus Opportunities
The shops and movie theater of idyllic small-town Grove City, the cultural venues and professional sports teams of the City of Pittsburgh, missions trips throughout the world, international study, the Amish countryside, and exploring the Allegheny River and Moraine State Park are all easily available to Grove City students.

Students Say
Since Grove City College is located in a relatively remote area of Western Pennsylvania, most activities are done on-campus, but "for a small town, there's lots to do," including plenty of places to eat, a movie theater, and ice cream shops. Days at Grove City are pretty typical, spent "going to class, studying, catching up with friends over meals, movie and game nights on the weekends, dances, campus ministries, [and] club activities." Many are also on sports teams, especially "intramural sports teams like volleyball, basketball, Frisbee, [and] soccer," plus students also "like to hang out in our recreational room or go bowling." Forget about Footloose: there is actually "a great deal of dancing and singing here," and people like to "go for walks when the weather is nice, play games, watch movies, do sports, and simply talk together." Indeed, many lunches "devolve into an ideological, theological, or philosophical discussion." Grove City students are proud of their involvement in the world around them through "various academic lectures, Warriors (an hour-long worship service), and screenings of political debates"; these events, though not required, are "extremely well-attended." Likewise, there "are many great groups on campus that provide community service or benefit for a good cause." Intervisitation between male and female dorms is "limited," and this is in no way a party school.
