ĢƵ is a place that invests in students’ professional journeys.

ĢƵ provides intentional resources, mentoring, and a strong network so that students have all that they need to begin their professional journeys.
Financial Value
We want to make ĢƵ affordable! According to LendEDU, ĢƵ is the second-ranked school in California for helping students afford tuition. We provided $39 million in grants and scholarships last year, benefiting 95% of our student body!
Educational Value
“This process of having discussions and asking questions...We’re asking the right questions.”
- Dr. Charity Dean
Founder/CEO, Public Health Company
As the top-ranked Christian liberal arts college in California, ĢƵ pushes students to new academic levels. Our exceptional approach to education, small class sizes, distinguished faculty, and robust liberal arts curriculum challenge students to think deeply and learn broadly in their field, providing high-quality, faith-based education.
Faith + Character Value
At ĢƵ, we care about what students are doing AND about who they are becoming. We believe that investing in a Christian community, such as ĢƵ, is a fundamentally character-shaping decision. Our aim is to produce graduates who will lead in every sphere of society with a firm moral compass.

Philanthropic Value
The ĢƵ Ridley-Tree Museum of Art, named for Lady Leslie Ridley-Tree, opened in the heart of ĢƵ’s campus during the 2010-11 season. She has donated 20 significant works of art to the college, including originals by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and seven paintings by Barbizon artists.
"I just wish there was more to give. Of course, giving of your means is only part of it — it’s giving of yourself. Because many times you don’t have money to give or it isn’t money that’s important. It's what you give of yourself — your energy."
