With 493 post-secondary students enrolled in classes this year, Providence is boasting its highest enrollment since the 2009–10 academic year. The school has welcomed 165 new students this fall and improved its retention of former students by 15 percent, according to reports provided by Providence. The number of international students has grown from 81 last year to 110, the highest in the school’s history.
The recent growth also comes on the heels of the introduction of new undergraduate and degree programs, particularly in the areas of business and science education.
“Among the most popular study areas at the University College is our Business program, which is now offering a Bachelor of Business Administration,” reads the report. “Bachelor of Arts programs, such as Aviation, Communications & Media, Sociology/Social Science and TESOL [Teaching English as a Second Language] are also robust, and Psychology is our fastest-growing major. Our new Science courses are also very popular.”
The seminary’s Counselling program has also experienced sustained growth, with 121 students this year across all formats and disciplines.
