Accreditation
Providence Christian College is accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), 985 Atlantic Avenue, #100, Alameda, CA 94501, (510)748-9001.
The Providence Christian College Campus
On August 2, 2010, Providence took up residence on the campus of William Carey International University. This brings Providence in closer proximity to the educational and cultural resources of Los Angeles and Pasadena and also gives Providence room to grow substantially.
Backing up to the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, the 17-acre campus is more than triple the size of Providence’s previous campus. It features ample classroom space, a library, a cafeteria, administrative offices, and tennis and basketball courts. However, the best resources available to Providence at the new campus are found in the surrounding area.
Since it is positioned only 3.5 miles from downtown Pasadena and about 15 miles from downtown Los Angeles, the William Carey campus affords Providence students easier access to the cultural wealth of both cities. Though Pasadena is known internationally for its annual Rose Parade and Rose Bowl game, it is also the home of Fuller Seminary, the Huntington Library and Art Gallery, the California Institute of Technology, and the Art Center College of Design, among other institutions of higher learning. The College has emphasized visiting places such as these since its inception, so it is a blessing to have the opportunity to move nearer to the source of much of southern California's culture. Pasadena's natural beauty and cultural centers will increase Providence's ability to fulfill its institutional goals.
The Providence staff shares the campus with faculty and administrators for William Carey’s distance graduate school program. The facility is also home to the U.S. Center for World Mission, and additional space is rented to a primary school, an international secondary school, as well as several churches. The Pasadena campus was originally built and occupied by Nazarene University (subsequently named Pasadena College) in 1910. WCIU bought the land in 1977 after Pasadena College relocated to the San Diego area in 1973 and took the name Point Loma Nazarene University.
