Admission into the College
Permission to matriculate as students at Providence Christian College is granted to applicants who provide evidence of those qualities of mind and purpose that are required for a liberal arts college education, and whose personal qualifications provide assurance that they will be responsible and contributing members of a college community committed to the lordship of Jesus Christ. Qualities of mind are demonstrated by the breadth and quality of high school preparation. Among considerations that help determine purpose and dedication are the application questions and/or an interview.
