About Us

An Evangelical Academic Community

Providence University College is the undergraduate division of Providence University College and Seminary, a Christian academic community in the evangelical tradition that teaches people to grow in knowledge and character for leadership and service. The mission of Providence University College is to educate people at a university level to think, live, and serve as Christians in society and the church.

Providence University College and Seminary is an interdenominational institution governed by a Board of Governors, elected from a Corporation that represents the supporters of the institution.  Together with Providence Seminary, Providence University College stimulates over $17 million annually in economic activity in Manitoba. With 300 full-time equivalent college students, 175 seminary students, and 27 regular faculty members, Providence University College and Seminary is the largest self-standing Christian educational institution in Manitoba.

Providence University College is committed to exploring 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. 

Providence University College alumni serve in the church and in society at large in various occupations. For example, current Providence alumni are making an impact as public school teachers, airplane pilots, operators of small businesses, media specialists, or teachers of English to speakers of other languages in Canada and in other countries. In addition to engaging in various kinds of employment opportunities, Providence University College alumni have gone on to graduate studies in a number of public and private post-secondary institutions.
