Accreditation
Providence Christian College is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), 985 Atlantic Avenue, #100, Alameda, CA 94501, (510)748-9001.
The Providence Christian College Campus
On January 4, 2019, Providence took up residence in the Playhouse District of Pasadena, California. This brings Providence in closer proximity to the educational and cultural resources of Los Angeles and Pasadena and also gives Providence room to grow substantially.
Set in the heart of Pasadena, the new decentralized campus spans the course of 4 city blocks. It features ample classroom space, a library, a sanctuary, administrative offices, and several dining options. However, the best resources available to Providence at the new campus are found in the surrounding area.
Since it is positioned less than a quarter mile from Pasadena City Hall and about 10 miles from downtown Los Angeles, the new campus affords Providence students easier access to the cultural wealth of both cities. Though Pasadena is known internationally for its annual Rose Parade and Rose Bowl game, it is also the home of Fuller Seminary, the Huntington Library and Art Gallery, the California Institute of Technology, and the Art Center College of Design among other institutions of higher learning. The College has emphasized visiting places such as these since its inception, so it is a blessing to have the opportunity to move nearer to the source of much of southern California's culture. Pasadena's natural beauty and cultural centers will increase Providence's ability to fulfill its institutional goals.
WITHERSPOON HALL
Witherspoon Hall, formerly First Congregational Church, serves as the heart of the Providence campus as it provides a sanctuary for Chapel, administrative and faculty offices, library space, classroom space, practice rooms and a study area for students of Providence Christian College. Students and faculty meet on the first and second floors. Wired and wireless internet access is available campus wide, including all classrooms.
Additional classrooms are located at the New School of Cooking located three blocks south of Witherspoon Hall.
PROVIDENCE VILLAGE
One block north of Witherspoon Hall, resident students live in newly renovated apartments. Students eat their meals at several locations in the area, including Ambrose Café, Simply Gourmet Plus (a.k.a. Fuller Refectory), and the New School of Cooking where they are able to use their college meal dollars.
