Graduation Requirements
Upon recommendation of the faculty and approval by the board of directors, the degree of Bachelor of Arts is conferred upon students who have met the following requirements for graduation:

 GPA Requirement Students must earn a minimum C average (2.00 GPA on a 4.00 scale) in courses taken at Providence and in the concentrations. Students must also earn a C or better in each concentration course numbered 300 or higher.
 Foreign Language Requirement The Foreign Language Requirement may be satisfied by demonstrating proficiency in a foreign language equivalent to the second semester college level, either by passing an exam (AP or CLEP) or by completing approved course work (in high school or college).
 Cross-Cultural Requirement Students can satisfy this requirement through an Avodah Immersion course or any course whose focus is primarily devoted to: a) Non-Western cultures; b) Inter-societal or cross-societal injustice emanating from man’s fallen nature; c) Comparative world cultures; d) Cross-cultural theory or practice (i.e. Cross-cultural Communication). A student can typically fulfill this requirement by enrolling in “Christ, Culture, and Contextualization.”
 Core Liberal Studies Requirement See the Core Liberal Studies Curriculum below for more details.
 Concentration Requirements All students must complete at least two areas of concentration. (Beginning in the 2018-2019 academic year, students will complete one of the redesigned concentrations. Students from 2017-2018 who would like to move to the one concentration model will also need to meet the requirements of the redesigned Core Liberal Studies Curriculum for 2018-2019.)
 Residence Requirements All students must complete 24 of their last 30 semester credit hours in residence. To be considered in “residence”, students must be registered for classes at Providence or through one of its approved affiliate programs.
