Providence College is a pretty, self-contained campus about 10 minutes outside of downtown Providence.
The Dominican Catholic tradition and liberal arts informs the curriculum and overall feel of the school.
The students on the student panel were united by their intellectual curiosity and strong sense of community. Many said it just “felt” right when they came to Providence.
One student was a history major and business studies, music performance minor who wrote his senior thesis on the Iranian Revolution in 1979.
Admissions read by territory. PC recalculates all GPAs looking at the 5 major academics as well as theology for students from Catholic high schools.
Rigor and PC GPA are the most important factors for admission. They want to see students take Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and preferable a fourth science.
