 Grove City College is a rural, private school in western Pennsylvania committed to Christian principles. We seek to provide liberal and professional education of the highest quality that is within the reach of families with modest means who desire a college that will strengthen their children's spiritual and moral character. Our mission is to seed the world with young men and women of Christian character who create, innovate, and provide new opportunities by creating new businesses or reinvigorate existing ones from a transcendent vision and purpose.
Grove City College is becoming a leading faith-based undergraduate educator in entrepreneurial enterprising among private colleges in the United States today, and is committed to a unique and excellent academic experience.
The Entrepreneurship program seeks to inculcate an understanding of the pivotal role of Austrian free-market economics, shaped by a thoroughly Christian worldview, across our curriculum.
Students will understand the “how” and “why” of this economic theory, which is unique in that it is the only school of economic thought that identifies the entrepreneur as the catalyst in the free market.
Through the use of computer-based simulations, writing business plans for real businesses, mentoring and critiquing by practitioners, one-on-one interaction with practicing entrepreneurs, and a required internship, theory is combined with practice.
Students will understand the need to ethically create value for the customer drives the engine of business, and that a free and competitive market is vital to the process.
Entrepreneurial students will learn the importance of team leadership, strong business ethics, and how to incorporate a Christian perspective into their organization.
To foster entrepreneurship campus-wide, cooperative relationships have developed across the academic departments and disciplines of engineering, computer science, physics, and communication by offering a 24-credit hour minor for non-business students; this provides liberal arts and science students an opportunity to apply their disciplines within an entrepreneurial reference.
