Do Providence College courses transfer to universities?
In Canada, it is commonly understood that degrees are granted by universities. Colleges are known to offer certificates for one-year programs and diplomas for two and three-year programs. In addition, provincial governments have chartered selected colleges to grant degrees. This is the case for Providence in that we operate under a charter of the Government of Manitoba to grant certificates, diplomas and degrees at the undergraduate (Bachelor) level and the graduate (masters, doctoral) levels. Until the 1990s, the College concentrated on the Bachelor of Religious Education and the Bachelor of Theology as they corresponded most closely with our origins in the Bible College movement. Liberal Arts courses were added because they were seen as valid in their own right, not only as complements to the religious studies focus.
