Who We Are

 

Grove City College is committed to being a leading entrepreneurship educator and program of distinction among faith-based private colleges. Surrounded by rich natural beauty and classic architecture, our emphasis on challenging academics and spiritual reflection create a special campus environment to explore the transformative power of entrepreneurship.

 

The Entrepreneurship Program at Grove City College has two distinct learning centers. The Entrepreneurship Department covers all aspects of the student academic experience while The Center for Entrepreneurship + Innovation addresses experiential learning activities and events centered on entrepreneurship and innovation for the entire student body, regardless of major.

 

When academics and experiential learning are combined with the power of our strategic partnerships in the local community and beyond, our students are able to obtain real-world relevant experience, and, as a result, they are more prepared to enter the workforce or to start organizations of their own upon graduation.

Hear from our students.

The Center for E+I has been an invaluable resource during my time here at Grove City College. I have pitched business ideas to investors, learned how to better position myself professionally, and worked alongside incredible people through the E+I Fellows program. 

Mara Brak ’26, Design & Innovation Major 

Being able to partner with E+I has been a real privilege. With a hard science background, E+I continutally shows me how to properly present, discuss,  market, and share ideas formed during my classes. 

Jacob Collins ’27, Mechanical Engineering Major 

E+I has given me incredible opportunities to travel and gain real-world business experience. These experiences broadened my perspective, connected me with people from diverse backgrounds, and helped me build practical business skills and confidence!

Leyla Zwolinski ’27, Entrepreneurship Major 

The Center for E+I has been extremely impactful during my time here at Grove City, connecting me with several internships and projects that helped me build so many valuable skills. I highly recommend students connect with them through the E+I Fellows or one of their many awesome events!
