Providence is a Christian University College offering a basic liberal arts education, but what does that mean?
The Liberal Arts study who we are as individual people and as groups or nations, so it is a category of disciplines that study how humans relate to their identity. It asks a variety of questions. What does it mean to be a human being? How have humans acted in the past? How can I be the best person possible? Who am I? Who can I be? What have humans accomplished in our history? The liberal arts gives answers to questions like these. Asking these questions within a Christian context – Who does God say that I am? and Who does God say I should be? – is very exciting.
