CAAHEP

Grove City College's exercise science program is accredited by the Committee on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP). CAAHEP awarded accreditation to the program after a peer review and vote conducted by the CAAHEP board of directors and the Committee on Accreditation for the Exercise Sciences (CoAES).

CAAHEP accreditation helps to assure potential students that an institution has met certain standards in terms of administration, resources, faculty, and facilities.

This accreditation is recognition that the College's exercise science program meets the characteristics of excellence and national standards established by CAAHEP, CoAES, American College of Sports Medicine, American Council on Exercise, American Kinesiotherapy Association, Cooper Institute, National Academy of Sports Medicine, and National Council on Strength and Fitness.
