Curiosity can take you anywhere.

This is more than a place, and much bigger than an idea. Grinnell is a way of being and seeing. It’s an unwavering commitment to the journey of discovery, both in everything we want to do and everything we want to become.

No two journeys are the same. In fact, we’ve designed it that way.

Welcome to the world of intellectual freedom. Here, you’re in charge of how your studies take shape and where you want them to take you.
