Central to a Liberal Arts Institution

The School of Arts & Sciences is committed to fostering academic excellence through undergraduate and graduate studies in a broad range of academic areas in the fine arts and humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. As the home of these academic programs, the School of Arts & Sciences is central to Providence College’s mission and identity as a liberal arts institution.

Undergraduate Studies

Image Study in the arts and sciences leads students to a better understanding of the human condition and the natural world. It also prepares students exceptionally well for life after college, whether students wish to prepare for post-graduate study or to enter the work force immediately after graduation.

Graduate Studies

Image Providence College’s focus on excellence in undergraduate education carries over to graduate studies. Our faculty members in all of our master’s degree programs strive to know our students and to help them grow academically and personally.
