STUDENT STATUS

Curricular - Students who meet all of the requirements and intend to pursue any undergraduate or graduate degree program.

Non-Curricular - Students who desire to take courses on a regular basis, but do not intend to obtain a bachelor's or graduate degree. Those interested in obtaining a one year certificate program will be included in this category.

Auditing a Course - A student desiring to attend a course without taking exams or credit, may do so by registering, in the regular manner, to audit  that course, and by paying a "personal enrichment fee." Audited courses carry no credit. A student desiring to change status in a course from audit to credit must complete the change during the first week of the class.

DISTINCTIVES of PROVIDENCE THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

Providence Theological Seminary is distinctive in that it provides graduate theological training with a strong emphasis on academic rigor in the classroom, coupled with practical guidance from instructors experienced in the work of ministry. Providence is a school that stands squarely in the tradition of an Evangelical, Christian educational institution. Several clear distinctives exemplify the stand and direction of the school.

CHRISTIAN

Providence Theological Seminary stands without any apology for Christian distinctives. Christian principles and polity are taught in the classroom and practiced in the personal ministries of each faculty member.

BIBLICAL

Providence Theological Seminary believes in the verbal, plenary (in all of its parts) inspiration of the Scriptures. The Bible is considered the sole authority for faith and practice, and inerrant in all matters it addresses. The literal, historical-grammatical approach to the interpretation of God's Word is emphasized through the entire curriculum.

EVANGELISTIC

Providence Theological Seminary challenges and prepares students to have warm, soul-winner's hearts and to build strong evangelistic churches and ministries. The faculty includes teachers who have many years of experience in building and developing soul-winning ministries. 

GENERAL ADMISSION INFORMATION

Since the express purpose of Providence Theological Seminary is to train Christian men and women for Christian service, the completion of minimum requirements in graduate classes does not automatically qualify the student for a degree. A student is expected to demonstrate maturity of Christian character, total agreement with the statement of faith, competence in the Christian ministry, and commitment to the purpose and position of the school.
