About

Located in Pasadena, California, Providence Christian College is a small, faith-based institution best known for providing a rigorous liberal arts education grounded in a Reformed Christian worldview. Instead of traditional departments, all students earn a degree in Liberal Arts with tailored concentrations ranging from business and health sciences to biblical studies and psychology.
