Grove City College

Grove City College is a private Christian liberal arts institution located in Grove City, Pennsylvania, approximately 60 miles north of Pittsburgh. The campus, set on 180 acres in a rural small-town setting, features Gothic-style architecture highlighted by the distinctive Harbison Chapel. Founded in 1876 as a private preparatory school and incorporated as a college in 1884, the institution maintains its founding Presbyterian principles while operating independently without federal funding. The college is known for its conservative principles, strong engineering programs, and business curriculum, with all students required to complete a core liberal arts program regardless of major. Students must live on campus for all four years unless they reside with family in the immediate area, and the college maintains separate residence halls for men and women.
