Experienced Educators Inspiring People

At Providence College, every one of your professors will be a full faculty member; there are no teaching or graduate assistants. This important fact of Providence College academic life means you will have experienced teachers for all of your classes, and for expert guidance on independent studies, research projects and performances.

The opportunity to work closely -- and often in collaboration with -- outstanding scholars who are caring, compassionate individuals, offers the potential for a level of scholarship, research and intellectual engagement that might go untapped at a large university.

Providence College's energetic students work hard, set high expectations for themselves and take an active role in their education. Their professors set the example. Faculty members will not only know your name, but they will know your strengths, your ambitions, your special interests, and will see that you have every opportunity to get the most out of your Providence experience. From impromptu discussions in the snack bar to invitations for dinner in their homes to advice about graduate programs and careers, your professors will reach out to you, inside and outside of class.
