Business Program Enrollment, Graduation & Performance Information

Career Outcomes

In 2022, 97% of Grove City College business graduates found employment or gained admittance into a graduate program within six months of graduation. These career outcomes were based on a 99% knowledge rate for the entire class. That is, we have knowledge of 99% of Grove City College graduates' first-destination career outcomes. This is a realistic picture of our graduates' next steps, not a small sample that skews data upward. In addition, employers report back to us that Grove City College graduates are distinguished from their peers due to their work ethic, integrity, and knowledge.

The pass rate for each part of the exam for our graduates on their first try has consistently been above the national average.
