GREENVILLE IS LOCATED 45 MILES EAST OF DOWNTOWN ST. LOUIS AND THE GATEWAY ARCH,
The motto of one of our teams is:
“It’s not what you do – It’s what you
become.” That says it all. Our athletes study
and pray together, go on retreats, help in
the community, grow spiritually, become
lifelong learners – and win big games!
We’ve produced three consecutive NCAA
Div. III national champions in the hurdles,
and recently competed for a national title
in women’s basketball.

BECOME A PANTHER! Our Greenville College athletic teams—the
Panthers—have built a winning tradition here at Greenville that has impacted the entire
campus and community. While our men’s football and soccer teams made it to the
national finals, our women’s cross country and volleyball teams produced conference
players of the year. Greenville cross country teams have dominated their league for the
past decade while earning national all-academic honors.
DRAMATIC PERFORMANCES at the Factory Theatre,
Multicultural Festival, and the annual choral presentation of Handel’s Messiah are a
few of the cultural offerings featuring the multi-faceted talents of our students and
faculty. Student artwork is displayed throughout the campus, while their music can be
heard at Jo’s Java coffee shop and over the airways on WGRN 89.5, the student-run
college radio station.
Listen to WGRN live at www.wgrn.net.

m. Each year since 1977, hundreds of
Greenville students collaborate to organize,
promote, and produce Agapefest, the nation’s only
student-run Christian music festival. Our students
do it all, from security, sales, and hospitality to
recreation, operations, and artist relations. Recent
acts include Relient K, Newsboys, David Crowder
Band, Toby Mac, and our own Jars of Clay, BDA,
and For All The Drifters, winner of the GMA’s top
award for unsigned musical act.
Listen to WGRN live at www.wgrn.net.
THE BIBLE EXHORTS YOU to “be transformed by the renewing
of your mind,” and many of our offerings enable you to do just that – both in and out
of the classroom. Each summer a large group of student leaders venture into the
wilderness of the Smokey Mountains for a life-changing Walkabout excursion that –
through teamwork, personal reflection, and faith – prepares them for lives of
character and service.
Greenville College also engages students
in cross-cultural learning, seeking to create a
climate that values and celebrates multiculturalism.
Everyone who graduates from Greenville does
so with cross-cultural credits. Student lives are
transformed through their study and experiences,
such as organizing after school programs in Kenya or
participating in one of numerous overseas semester
study programs.
Our broad liberal arts curriculum will give
you the knowledge, skills, wisdom, and savvy to
tackle real-world matters in Christ-like ways. With
faculty members who are at the cutting edge in
their fields—Teacher Education, Digital Media,
Communication, Music, Business, Engineering, and
the Sciences—you’ll receive the knowledge, skills,
and preparation you need to become an attractive
candidate for employment.
MANY PEOPLE SAY GREENVILLE’S greatest
assest is its people and the relationships formed here, and nowhere is that truer than
in our residence halls. A high percentage of our students live on campus in what we
call “living and learning communities.” Here, students enjoy close friendships, in-depth
discussion, guidance from resident chaplains, and fun programs, such as Roomies Night
Out and Midnight Breakfast.
THANKS TO OUR “CONNECTED” professors
and administrators, the career networking possibilities at Greenville are endless.
Our students have completed internships at most of Nashville’s top record labels;
with pro sports teams; at radio and TV stations nationwide; at top healthcare
facilities, PR firms, and theatre companies; and throughout the region with a
host of businesses, churches, and governmental agencies.
When students learn they can construct
their own major via our Individually Tailored
Education Plan (ITEP), some ask, “What’s the
catch?” But there is no catch. You plan out the major
with a professor in your area of interest, then get
busy. One student did his ITEP in Creative Ministry,
read more than 20 books, wrote an honors thesis,
did a senior art exhibit, and discovered his life was
transformed in the process!
OUR COMBINATION OF THE LIBERATING ARTS and diverse professional programs give you the foundation – and skills – to go places!
Greenville graduates are working across the nation as marketing consultants, teachers,
playwrights, worship leaders, disc jockeys, corporate PR specialists, lawyers, pastors,
doctors, managers, financial advisors, professional actors, music producers and agents,
radio producers, accountants, and entrepreneurs.
Greenville College ranks among
the top 16 colleges in the Council for
Christian Colleges & Universities whose
graduates have attained advanced degrees,
according to a recent report by the National
Science Foundation. Ninety percent of our
students applying to medical school are
accepted on their first application, while
virtually all of those in our “Engineering
3/2” program have successfully completed
engineering degrees at some of the best
schools in the nation!

foreign countries. Another 500 students are involved

“We have a passion for transforming the lives of our students.
Perhaps that’s because I spent four years as a student at a
Christian college—and those years transformed my life.
My hope and dream is that the students
who come to Greenville College will have the same life-changing experience.
I’m confident they will.”
