Pursing Intercultural Studies at Providence will deepen your understanding of perhaps the most formative factor of human life: culture. Coming to understand more fully all the various elements that comprise a culture, and how they develop, function, change, and interact with other cultures, will enable you to comprehend cultures other than your own. It will take you beyond yourself, and enable you to work more effectively in or with other cultures, and thereby promote intercultural understanding, harmony, and peace. Most profoundly, it will help you contextualize Christianity in ways that respect all cultures.
Join us on one of our information sessions to hear more about the program, application/admission process and what makes Providence a unique place for you to get your university education. You can find upcoming sessions here (under University College Sessions).
