Providence College’s academic approach and liberal arts curriculum are shaped and strengthened by more than seven centuries of Catholic Dominican scholarship and spirituality. This education embraces the whole person – stimulating the intellectual, spiritual, moral, aesthetic, and social development of each student.

Providence College students acquire knowledge and skills that stand the test of time in any professional or civic setting: the ability to reason well, to examine sources critically, to reconcile opposing points of view, to seek and respect the truth, to appreciate beauty and human expression, to write and speak effectively.
