Providence College is a Christian academic community in the evangelical tradition that teaches people to grow in knowledge and character for leadership and service. Providence College is committed to exploring both faith and life through accredited undergraduate degree programs in the Liberal Arts and Professional Studies. Providence is chartered by the Province of Manitoba to offer degrees that serve as pre-requisites to post-baccalaureate degree programs at the University of Manitoba and other universities around the world.  Individual courses also transfer to other university undergraduate degree programs.
