Below are some (not all) of the critical academic policies that you should be aware of as you plan and proceed through your undergraduate program. These are more fully explained in the Providence College Undergraduate Catalog, found at http://catalog.providence.edu/
Always refer to the Catalog when you have any question about academic policies or your program. The Catalog is the official document of record and contains current information about the College calendar, admissions, degree requirements, fees, regulations and course offerings.
General Degree Requirements
All students must meet the following criteria to be eligible for the bachelor’s degree:
1. A minimum of 120 earned credit hours. Satisfactory completion of the Core
Curriculum requirements.
2. A minimum 2.00 (4.0 scale) cumulative quality point average (i.e. “GPA”) overall and in the major or minor, if applicable. Some majors/programs may have higher credit hour and/or GPA requirements.
3. A minimum of 24 upper-division credits in the major.
4. Normally, unless otherwise stipulated, students may not begin their senior
year in any major in which they have not achieved a 2.00 cumulative average in their major subject(s).
5. Students are responsible for meeting the graduation requirements of their
major curriculum. Modification of any departmental rule can be made only with written approval of the chair of the department or program director in consultation with the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies
6. At least half of the courses/credits required for the major, minor, or certificate
program must be successfully completed at Providence College or through an officially affiliated program. Some academic programs may require more than half of their requirements to be complete at Providence College.
7. Undergraduate students must spend at least 8 semesters in full-time attendance, unless the period is reduced by advanced standing credit from another institution as reviewed and approved by the Dean of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies. The College reserves the right to allow graduation at the completion of 7 semesters following the successful petition by students to the Committee on Academic Status.
College Academic Policies & Degree Requirements

Credit Hour Requirements In general, incoming freshmen will be expected to complete Development of Western Civilization (DWC) plus three, 3- (or more) credit courses in their first semester (total of four courses) and then five, 3- (or more) credit courses in each succeeding semester to reach the graduation requirement of 120 credit hours. **EXCEPTION: Most science majors, business majors, education majors and Honors Program students will complete DWC plus three, 3- (or more) credit courses in the 2nd semester. These majors and programs have additional credits (i.e. 4- credit courses or additional 1- credit courses) included in their major requirements and therefore students will automatically reach the 120 credit hour graduation requirement by completing the major/program. Therefore, it is extremely important that you consult your advisor if you have any questions regarding the number of courses you should be taking each semester. REMINDER: Academic programs vary in their requirements, so students should consult the Academic Program Planning sheets (under the “Exploring” tabs in this Guidebook) and their faculty advisors.

The subjects that you study as undergraduates and, just as importantly, the skills and
intellectual habits you acquire in the process, shape the lives you'll lead after college. Your
course of study in the Core Curriculum, as well as in your disciplinary studies, should require
you to question assumptions, engage in self-reflection, think critically and analytically, and
communicate effectively.
The Core Curriculum, as well as study in majors and concentrations, should prepare students to
connect what you learn at PC to life beyond the College, and help you to understand and
appreciate the complexities of the world and your role in it.
Our Core Curriculum combines the breadth appropriate to a liberal arts education in the Catholic
and Dominican tradition with the flexibility needed for every student to focus on exploring one
aspect of the Core in-depth.
Core Curriculum

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the requirements of the Core Curriculum?
Effective with the Class of 2016, students will need to complete the following core curriculum requirements:
Development of Western Civilization (16 credits, 20 credits for Liberal Arts Honors)
Core Foundation (24 credits) o Theology Requirement: one 200-level and one 300-level (6 credits) o Philosophy Requirement: one ethics and one non-ethics (6 credits) o Natural Science Requirement* (3 credits) o Social Science Requirement (3 credits) o Quantitative Reasoning Requirement (3 credits) o Fine Arts Requirement (3 credits)
Core Focus (6 credits)**
Proficiencies (May be fulfilled through other requirements) o Intensive Writing Proficiency I o Intensive Writing Proficiency II o Oral Communication Proficiency o Diversity Proficiency o Civic Engagement Proficiency
*Students who have not taken physics in high school must complete the natural science requirement with a physics-based course.
** Liberal Arts Honors program students fulfill the Core Focus requirement through successful completion of the Liberal Arts Honors curriculum. Students enrolled in the 3-2 engineering and 3-4 NECO optometry programs fulfill the Core Focus by virtue of completing the degree program. All secondary education and music education majors are considered double majors for this purpose and may fulfill the Core Focus through completion of appropriately designated courses in the second (Core Foundation area) major.
What is the Development of Western Civilization Colloquium?
DWC 202 is the final semester of the Development of Western Civilization Program and is a team-taught colloquium. Students choose from a variety of colloquia according to their interests. Building upon the other semesters of the DWC program, the advanced colloquium focuses on a specific, contemporary issue in the context of western tradition.
Is the Development of Western Civilization requirement the same for transfer students?
Transfer students who enter as second-semester freshmen are required to complete DWC 101, DWC 102, and DWC 202. Transfer students who enter with first-semester sophomore status or higher are required to complete DWC 101 and DWC 202. As DWC 101 currently is only offered in the fall semester, it is recommended that transfer students who begin matriculation in the spring should delay enrollment in DWC until the following fall semester. Students should complete the DWC requirement in sequential order, with DWC 101 as the introductory foundation course and the DWC 202 Colloquium as the final course in the program.
Why are some students required to take a Physics-based Natural Science core requirement?
Students who did not complete a high school physics course will be required to complete a physics-based natural science core course. Those who have already completed a high school
11
physics course will be permitted to complete either a standard natural science core course or a physics-based natural science core course.
When should students plan to complete the Quantitative Reasoning requirement?
Some majors require that students enroll in a specific math course during their first semester. For others, students may choose when to complete their quantitative reasoning requirement. If a student is not interested in a major that requires a specific math course, it is recommended that students defer taking a quantitative reasoning core course until a major is determined. Students may have future opportunities to fulfill the quantitative reasoning requirement through a required course in their major (e.g., PSY 202 “Research Design and Statistical Analysis II” for psychology majors), and such courses are typically not taken in the first semester. All new students enrolling in the fall semester are expected to complete the math placement exam during the summer prior to enrollment.
What is the Core Focus requirement?
Students are required to take two additional courses in a Core Foundation area or two courses in a specified theme, both of which are outside or beyond their major requirements. The Core Focus can be fulfilled in one of two different ways: two courses in a particular discipline, or a thematic concentration of two linked courses. Discipline concentrations consist of two courses in a language (modern or classical), science (physical or biological), social science (e.g., psychology, anthropology, sociology, economics), fine arts (e.g., art, art history, music, theatre, creative writing), or quantitative reasoning (math, statistics), as designated by the specific academic department or program. To encourage depth in the concentration, both courses must be from the same department. Students also may fulfill this requirement by completing a thematic concentration. A list of approved themes is available on the PC website under Core Curriculum. Courses used to fulfill the Core Focus requirement may not be used toward Core Foundation requirements.
How can students fulfill proficiency requirements?
Students are encouraged to fulfill proficiency requirements within their major, Core Foundation, Core Focus, or free electives. Students should work closely with their faculty advisors to include courses that meet proficiency requirements in their course schedules, overlapping with other requirements when possible. This will allow students greater flexibility with free elective courses.
Selected Writing I (composition/writing) and Oral Communication (public speaking) transfer courses may be articulated as equivalent to Providence College courses that meet these proficiency requirements. All other proficiencies must be met through successful completion of designated Providence College day school courses unless authorized through student petition.
Are students required to complete an English Proficiency requirement before enrolling in courses designated Intensive Writing I or II for the Writing Proficiency requirement?
Students who demonstrate an academic need will be required to enroll in and successfully complete a special writing lab course (WRT 100. 1.5 credits) prior to enrolling in an Intensive Writing I proficiency course.
Does a study abroad experience satisfy the Diversity Proficiency requirement?
A study abroad experience by itself does not satisfy the Diversity Proficiency requirement. However, an approved study abroad course may meet the requirement.
12
What are the graduation requirements under the Core Curriculum?
Students are required to complete a minimum of 120 credits hours, earn a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA and a 2.0 major GPA (some majors have a higher cumulative GPA), satisfy all major and Core requirements, and complete the minimum 8 semesters of full-time residency. Transfer students’ residency requirement is determined by their class standing at the time of acceptance.
Coursework may vary in credits per course. For example, a student may complete a 1.5-credit music course to count toward the 120-credit requirement.
How many courses should students enroll in each semester?
In general, students will be expected to complete four (4) courses in their first semester and then five (5) courses in each succeeding semester in order to reach the 120 credit hour graduation requirement. Some majors and programs (for example, the science and business majors as well as the Honors Program) have additional credits (i.e. four credit courses or additional 1-credit courses) included in the major/program requirements that may help students to reach the 120 credit hour minimum in a variety of ways. Therefore, it is extremely important that students consult with their advisor and the Academic Program Planning forms regarding the number of courses to be taken each semester.
Does the Core Curriculum allow students to complete double majors or one or more minors?
In addition to completing the requirements for their chosen major and the Core Curriculum, students may choose to complete a second major or one or more minors. However, in most instances students should expect to perform extra work and to complete credits beyond the minimum needed to complete a single degree program.
Are some class sizes smaller than others?
Yes. Students can expect smaller class sizes in the Development of Western Civilization seminars (15-18 students) and team-taught colloquia (approximately 30 students). In addition, the Intensive Writing I and Intensive Writing II proficiencies (18) and the Oral Communication proficiency (20) normally have lower enrollment limits.
Who is involved in the oversight and implementation of the Core?
The overarching Core Curriculum Administrative Implementation Team (CCAT) is responsible for general oversight of the implementation of the Core, provision of resources to support the Core, consideration of policy issues, and for its timeline. The Core Curriculum Committee (CCC) is charged with the review and approval of all course and curricular issues, and with the development and oversight of course approval forms. The CCC also oversees several subcommittees focused on the review of courses for specific Core requirements. The Development of Western Civilization Program Committee (DWCPC) has several program responsibilities, including approval of DWC Colloquia.
What role should academic department chairs and program directors play in the implementation of the Core?
As the Core Curriculum requires ownership and responsibility across the College, chairs and directors play a critical role in Core implementation. Chair/director responsibilities may include:
Encouraging department/program faculty to modify existing courses and/or develop new courses that may be submitted for approval to meet specific Core objectives;
13
Facilitating department/program discussions about how Core objectives, specifically Core proficiencies, may be embedded into one or more major requirements; this can aid in providing greater scheduling flexibility for students in the major;
Reviewing and updating advising-related curricular materials, including degree audits, Academic Guidebook program plans, and sample sequences for the Undergraduate Catalog;
Permitting and encouraging faculty to teach a core course, and in particular, in the DWC Colloquia;
Identifying courses that may be used to fulfill the Core Focus concentration requirement for the discipline (where applicable);
Encouraging faculty to collaborate with colleagues in other disciplines to develop Core Focus thematic concentrations;
Ensure that the syllabi for Core courses list the appropriate Core objectives as stipulated in the guidelines for PC course syllabi;
Ensure that major/program course content continues to meet Core objectives.
What role should faculty advisors expect to play in the implementation of the Core?
Faculty advisors are critical in helping students to navigate the Core Curriculum. Advisors should be prepared to assist students with the selection of courses that may fulfill major, Core, and elective requirements, thus ensuring appropriate progress toward the degree. Faculty advisors should seek to guide students to complete their Core requirements efficiently, suggesting courses that may fulfill a combination of major and Core requirements when possible.
Do students have responsibility for completing the Core requirements?
Ultimately, students are responsible for ensuring successful completion of all degree requirements, including those of the Core. Students should plan to meet regularly with their faculty advisors to discuss progress toward their degree, and they should review their academic program requirements in the Academic Guidebook and the Undergraduate Catalog.

*Math Intensive Majors For majors with a specific math/quantitative reasoning requirement, generally, you should take the
math course level that you are recommended for based on the results of your Math Placement test. If it is a higher level math than required for a major, it will still satisfy the major requirement. If it is a lower level math, you will need to take another course later to satisfy your major requirement. Sometimes it is better to select a math/quantitative reasoning course which provides some review before taking the next level.
IF you are NOT interested in a major which requires a specific math course, it is recommended that
you defer taking a Quantitative Reasoning Core course until you determine your major. You may
have future opportunities to fulfill the Quantitative Reasoning Core requirement with a choice more
appropriate for your major (i.e. statistical analysis type courses are offered in the social sciences) and
such courses are typically not taken in the first semester.

Advanced Placement (AP)
*Portfolio subject to department review for Studio Art majors **History majors with an Advanced Placement grade of “5” on the A.P. U.S. and/or European History exam(s) will be given a one-course reduction in the required courses for the specific area(s) and will be given flexibility in choosing the remaining two courses (i.e., any two courses for the particular area). For instance, a major with a grade of “5” in U.S. History would be required to take only two courses in U.S. History and may choose any U.S. History courses for those required courses. A major with a grade of “5” in European History would be required to take only two courses in European History and may choose any European History courses for those required courses. History majors with an Advanced Placement grade of “5” on the World History exam will be given a one-course reduction, which will satisfy the requirement for a course in non-Western history. A limit of two A.P. scores of “5” will be recognized by the Department for reduction of the total number of courses in the major. History majors with an Advanced Placement grade of “4” on the A.P. U.S. and/or European History exam(s) will be given flexibility in choosing any three courses for U.S. and/or European History. For such students, the required number of History credits to be earned for the major would remain at 33. DECLARATION OF A CORE FOCUS: Only one AP course can be used toward fulfilling a Core Focus. NOTE: AP credits may be removed for students who earn credits in similar or repeat courses at Providence College.
** IMPORTANT ** If you have earned AP or IB credits, you should NOT repeat the equivalent course at Providence College. You can earn credit for a given course ONLY ONCE. If you have a question about your AP or IB credits, consult with your advisor or dean.

Academic Policies Specific to Class Year
20
All eligible students desiring to take a course on a pass/fail basis must notify the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies no later than the deadline as noted in the College’s official Academic Calendar. Once a student elects the pass/fail grading option, the pass/fail option is final and cannot be retroactively changed back to a standard letter grade. There will be no retroactive change of a standard letter grade to a pass/fail course.
1. Only one course per semester (with a maximum of four courses in total) may be taken on a pass/fail basis. (Option for freshmen begins with the second semester);
2. A student’s cumulative grade point average for the previous semester must be at least 2.0; 3. Any course taken on a pass/fail basis must be selected from free electives; 4. Credits earned on a pass/fail basis will not be averaged in a student’s grade point average; 5. Credits failed in a pass/fail course will be averaged as an “F” with 0.00 quality grade points.
Courses excluded from pass/fail option:
1. All courses designated as fulfilling Core Curriculum requirement. 2. All courses taken within a major or minor, either required or elective, that constitute the total
credit hours required by the department (unless the course is offered only on a pass/fail basis).
A major or minor course taken as a free elective beyond the required credit hours for the program may
be designated as pass/fail.
Pass/Fail Option
21
Permission for summer or wintersession course work is obtained from the Office of the Dean
of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies for make-up or enrichment purposes only, not to
“advance your status” or to “graduate early.”
PROVIDENCE COLLEGE SUMMER AND WINTERSESSION COURSE WORK
Summer school at Providence College is run by the School of Continuing Education (SCE). There is
no online registration for SCE summer session.
1. First step is to consult your Academic Advisor, Class Dean, and/or your Cyberfriar Audit
Evaluation to determine your unfulfilled degree requirements.
2. Next, review the Dean’s Approved SCE Course List. This list contains the approved courses
and how they will be applied to your program of study (major/minor, core, free elective credit,
etc.). Day School students will NOT be permitted to register for SCE courses which do not
appear on the Dean’s Approved SCE Course List.
3. Once you find a course or courses you are interested in taking, call 401-865-2495 to schedule
an appointment with your Class Dean in Harkins 213. That’s where you will fill out the Course
Approval Form and Course Registration Form.
4. Finally, you will process these forms in the School of Continuing Education Office (109 Harkins
Hall). Payment is required at the time of registration. Online and lab courses carry an
additional fee.
NOTE: When these courses are completed, the credits and grades will automatically be transferred onto your day school transcript.
Summer/Wintersession Course Work
22
TRANSFER COURSEWORK FROM OTHER COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
If you want to take Summer or Wintersession courses at another institution, your first step is to consult your Academic Advisor, class dean, and/or your CyberFriar Audit Evaluation to determine your unfulfilled degree requirements. Identify one or more specific courses at an accredited college/university that you believe will fulfill one of your requirements. You must check the Transfer Course Database to learn if the course is currently transferrable at http://departments.providence.edu/node/11
1. If the course is in the database – a) Once you have found courses that will be accepted for transfer, please schedule an
appointment with your class dean in Harkins 213 (phone 401-865-2495) to fill out the Course Approval Form.
b) You must then register for the approved course properly, and ensure that an official transcript is sent to the Dean of Enrollment Services at Providence College upon successful completion of the course. “Successful completion” means earning a “C” or better in the course. Please remember that credits for the approved course and its PC equivalent will be included on the student’s PC transcript, but the grade will be recorded as a “T” and will not affect the student’s GPA.
2. If the course is not in the database -- …That means it has not yet been articulated for transfer to PC, please bring the course syllabus to the Office of Enrollment Services in Harkins Hall, 310. The course will be reviewed by the department/program for transfer articulation. You will receive an email at your PC address from Enrollment Services informing you of the outcome of the transfer course review. The course and its articulation status will then be added to our database.
Identify one or more specific courses at an accredited college/university that you believe will fulfill one of your requirements. You must check the Transfer Course Database to learn if the course is currently transferrable at http://departments.providence.edu/node/11. It must specifically indicate that the course will satisfy a specific Core Foundation requirement for Class of 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020.
Once you have found courses that will be accepted for core transfer, please schedule an appointment with your class dean in Harkins 213 (phone 401-865-2495) to fill out the Course Approval Form. Follow same instructions in Items 1.a and 1.b. above.
If the course is not in the database, follow same instructions in Item 2 above.

Being UNDECLARED

Undeclared students often ask, “Which courses should I take while I’m exploring my options and making decisions about my major?” You should take the courses in majors that best match your interests and skills. Each department at the College recommends specific courses for students who are considering a major in that department. Be careful in your selection, however. These may differ from courses that interested students may take as electives but that do not fulfill requirements of the major.
This listing should provide some help in selecting the courses you want to explore before you declare a major. Always confirm your choices with your advisor before you register.

1. What are the advantages of being Undeclared at PC? Undeclared students enjoy a unique opportunity to explore their interests, tap their talents, research options, evaluate alternatives, and make informed academic decisions before selecting a suitable academic major. Students may have many interests or may be unsure of how their interests may relate to a major. First-year students are often unfamiliar with the PC curriculum and want to explore before declaring. The Undeclared Advising Program provides an opportunity for guided exploration of the curriculum so that students can assess their interests and talents in relationship to a major.
2. Can I start out Undeclared and still graduate with my class in four years?
Absolutely! Nearly half of the first year class matriculates at PC every fall as Undeclared students. The Undeclared Program provides students the opportunity to explore their interests before they declare their majors. Some students have already narrowed the field to a “short list” of potential majors. Others need to learn more about the majors offered at the College. In either case, there is more than enough time to explore your academic options and to complete your degree in the four year program at PC.
3. What kind of academic advising is available to Undeclared students? All Undeclared students are assigned academic advisors who will work with them from New
Student Orientation until they have selected their majors. Advisors come from all academic departments. They understand the uncertainties of first-year students and have the resources available to assist these students in making sound academic decisions.
Often a student is assigned an advisor from a department related to the student’s interests. For example, a student considering a major in the sciences might be assigned a faculty advisor from one of the science departments. However, all the Undeclared Advisors are knowledgeable about every major at the College. They all know what resources are available and where to refer students for specific information or academic assistance.
4. What courses should I take while I’m Undeclared? Students should select courses that interest them and that allow them to explore
potential majors. (Refer to the listing of Exploratory Courses by Major included on the following pages in this section of the Guidebook.) Students should not be taking Core Foundational Requirements right away, but should select courses that will provide some insight into the area of study that is the focus of the majors they are considering.
5. How are careers related to majors? What can I do with this Major? Generally, at the undergraduate level, there is not just one specific major required to enter a
career field. While some careers require specific academic preparation, most are built on skills that can be developed in virtually any major - the ability to think critically, organize and integrate information, speak and write effectively. The liberal arts curriculum at PC develops these skills in all of its students.
Being UNDECLARED – Frequently Asked Questions
27
Needless to say, a student who plans on becoming an accountant needs courses in accountancy. A student who plans to become a physician needs to take science courses. But not all physicians were science majors. Potential lawyers don’t need to be political science majors. And businesses don’t restrict hiring to students in business majors.
Helpful links to career options for various majors & PC Student Testimonials can be found on the Undeclared Advising Program website: Career Connections
http://www.providence.edu/ACADEMIC-ADVISING/Pages/Career-Connection.aspx
6. Where will I get help selecting a major? One of the primary goals of every Undeclared Advisor is to help students make informed
decisions in the process of selecting a major. The advisor will also be able to refer students to other sources of information such as the Dean’s Office, Center for Career Education and Professional Development, Office of Academic Services, as well as the chairs and faculty members from all the academic departments. Each fall a MAJOR/MINOR Fair is held to introduce students to all majors and minors at the College.
Selecting the Right Major
http://www.providence.edu/ACADEMIC-ADVISING/Pages/select-major.aspx
Seminars are scheduled to help students recognize and develop their interests, abilities and aspirations. And of course, the Undeclared Advising Program Office is always available to any student who has questions or concerns about selecting a major.
7. *When do I need to decide about my major at PC? How will I know if it’s the right one?
The Undeclared Advising Program tracks the progress of all Undeclared students so that they have selected a major by February of sophomore year. This way, students will have a new advisor assigned by the major department who will assist in academic planning and selection of courses the student will take in the five remaining semesters. Ignoring this deadline may result in the inability to register for classes in a timely manner.
Careful selection of exploratory courses will help determine if your interests and talents are well suited to the selected major. But sometimes, if the choice is not a good match, students may change majors after consultation with the departments involved and the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies. *Early declaration is REQUIRED for the Education Department (by April 30th of Freshman Year) and is recommended for majors within the School of Business (Accountancy, Finance, Marketing and Management).
8. Where can I find information on-line for Undeclared students? Many Useful LINKS, INFORMATION and RESOURCES can be found on the website @
www.providence.edu/advising

Below are some things to remember as you begin to plan and prepare for your academic future.
EXPLORE! Your schedule as a first semester student will include four courses. Pick at least two or three courses that will allow you to explore your interests. Your advisor will be a valuable help here.
EXPLORE! If you have already identified a particular academic area of interest, be sure to register for courses that will allow you to explore it. See the planning forms in the tabbed section of this Guidebook.
EXPLORE! – Curiosity is bad for cats but good for students! If you are curious about a course or subject that you have never studied, by all means select an exploratory course in that area.
IF you are thinking about Elementary/Special Education, Music Education, Health Policy and Management, the Sciences, Social Work or Business majors, review the relevant Academic Planning Forms in the tabbed pages of the Guidebook to select the recommended first semester/year course(s). Some majors require an early start.
IF you are interested in continuing with a language or starting a new one, now is the time. This is a good way to develop your college-level academic skills. You may decide to complete a language minor, major or apply your language skills during study abroad.
IF you are interested in exploring the Sciences, Mathematics, Economics or Business majors which all require a specific Math course, it is wise to elect the appropriate math course early. Some majors have specific math requirements (see page 15); some require more than one semester. Generally, you should take the math course level that you are recommended for based on the results of your Math Placement test. If it is a higher level math than required for a major, it will still satisfy the major requirement. If it is a lower level math, you will need to take another course later. Sometimes it is better to select a math/quantitative reasoning course which provides some review before taking the next level.
IF you are NOT interested in a major which requires a specific math course, it is recommended that you defer taking a Quantitative Reasoning Core course until you determine your major. You may have future opportunities to fulfill the Quantitative Reasoning Core requirement with more interesting choices with a major content element (i.e. Statistical analysis type courses are offered in the social sciences) and such courses are typically not taken in the first semester.
BE FLEXIBLE! Each semester, once you have selected the courses you want to take, be sure to identify some alternatives. You are never guaranteed that your first choices will have seats available.
BE ORGANIZED! Use the Sample Academic Planning Form to plan and organize your course schedules.
BE ADVISED! If you’re not sure, ask your advisor
Important Reminders

…and a few DON’Ts
DON’T select a course for which you have earned AP credits (carefully review page 16). AP credits may exempt you from an introductory course or may fulfill a core requirement.
DON’T focus on the core requirements while you are exploring majors. Many of the exploratory courses you select will also meet core requirements, and, with very few exceptions, you have plenty of room in your four-year program of study for electives. Courses that meet specific core curriculum requirements are identified on CyberFriar.
DON’T be concerned about DWC. All freshmen are pre-registered for a section of DWC 101: Development of Western Civilization.
DON’T limit your exploration to courses. Talk to department representatives, students, and your professors about your interests. Take advantage of the events that are scheduled for Undeclared students and listed on the Undeclared Advising Program Events Calendar (SAKAI) and on the Undeclared website:

Black Studies
To complete the minor in black studies, students take one required course, BLS 101 - Introduction to Black Studies, and select an additional five courses from among program and departmental electives. Each student is required to complete one elective from each thematic track. The remaining two electives allow for and promote specialization within a particular track. It is possible that a single course might satisfy the requirement of one or more tracks. However, a course will only be counted as meeting the requirements of ONE thematic track. For students whose interests are not directly addressed in formal course offerings, the program also offers the opportunity for independent reading and research, at the student’s initiative, with the support of a faculty sponsor.

Thinking of a Major in Education?
The Education Programs
Elementary/Special Education – Chair, Dr. Susan Skawinski, x 2717 Secondary Education – Director, Dr. Kevin J. O’Connor x 2123
Music Education - Director, Dr. Patricia W. Cichy x 1954
Providence College offers three undergraduate education programs: The Elementary/Special Education
program is a full major and prepares students to teach both special education and general education at the
elementary level. The Secondary Education program prepares students to teach at the secondary level
and is always completed in conjunction with a discipline major (biology, chemistry, English, French,
history, Italian, mathematics, physics, or Spanish). The Music Education program prepares students to
teach music in grades K-12. Applying for Admission
Full admission to an education program is a 2 stage process - Stage 1, you declare the major and your
intent to be admitted to the program, then Stage 2, you formally apply to the program. Stage I: Declaring the Major
Make an appointment with the appropriate Department Chair or Program Director to complete the
necessary paperwork to declare your intent to be admitted to an undergraduate education program. Those
interested in Elementary/Special Education should declare by the end of the freshman year. Those
interested in Secondary Education or Music Education should declare during the fall of their
sophomore year. For Secondary Education, a student may declare as late as fall of junior year if EDU 201
has been taken. Stage II: Formally Applying to the Major
After declaring one of the education programs, the process of applying for admission to the program
begins. A number of requirements and formal steps make up the process:
● A minimum of 2.75 cumulative GPA.
● A grade of C or better in all education courses (except a B or better is required in EDU 231L for
Elementary/Special Education, EDU 206L for Secondary Education, and MUS 230 for Music
Education).
● A minimum 2.0 GPA in content courses within the major for Secondary Education and Music
Education.
● SAT (minimum scores, Math = 520, Reading = 500, Writing = 490) or ACT (minimum scores,
Math = 20, Reading = 21, English = 20). The education programs provide tutorial support for
students who do not enter Providence College with the required scores; however, due to state
regulations if applicants do not meet the required scores within a specific amount of time, a
different major must be selected.
● Participation in an Assessment Review process that includes 1) evaluations of your
professionalism and beginning teaching skills (e.g., lesson planning) during initial education
classes and related field experiences, and 2) evaluation of your response to a common writing
prompt used across all of the education programs.
For additional information, please visit the website of the department or program you are interested in
and/or consult the online undergraduate catalogue.

John Scanlan, Ph.D., Pre-Law Advisor, Associate Professor of English English Department, Ruane LL31, (401) 865-2446; [email protected] When visiting upstate New York recently, Chief Justice John Roberts fielded a standard question from a college student: “What’s the best preparation for law school?” Roberts answered directly and thoughtfully: “A solid liberal arts education.” Chief Justice Roberts is exactly right. There is no prescribed collection of courses that those applying to law school must take. In fact, people enter law school with a variety of undergraduate majors and academic orientations. English and political science are of course popular, as is history – Justice Roberts’s own concentration when he was in college. But contemporary law students come from a wide variety of undergraduate majors, including philosophy, mathematics, French, finance, art history, psychology, Classics, and virtually every other area of study. What really matters is not the undergraduate major, then, but the degree to which the student’s undergraduate work is truly distinguished. In short, four years of rigorous, challenging study really is the best preparation for law school, just as Justice Roberts says. Law schools are postgraduate schools in the first instance; naturally enough, those on the admissions boards there look for evidence that an applicant can handle advanced intellectual work. So the upper end of the curriculum – the seminars, the “capstones,” the senior theses, the courses with the challenging reading lists – is the area of the curriculum where students should be especially determined to do their very best work. Students often ask about the value of law-related “internships.” While such experiences are meaningful to admissions boards (and while such activities certainly provide interns with an initial feel for what a life in the law might really be like), there is no substitute for a potential applicant immersing himself or herself in demanding academic research. Reading and writing: legal work is fundamentally focused on those arts, so the ambitious prelaw student should seek out courses and other activities that place special attention on difficult reading lists and challenging writing assignments. Of course, preparing for law school is a complicated enterprise, especially in its later stages. Preparing for the LSAT, choosing a collection of law schools to which to apply, choosing people who can write convincing letters of recommendation, and much, much else must be handled with great care. But most of these matters are best addressed in an individualized, one-on-one meeting with the Prelaw Advisor here, Prof. J.T. Scanlan. Indeed, Prof. Scanlan always encourages anyone at all interested in law school to meet with him individually – and the sooner in one’s college career, the better.

Lynne M. Lawson, Ph.D., Assistant Professor Engineering-Physics-Systems, Advisor for the Health Professions Sowa Hall 235, (401)865-1989, [email protected]
The program assists students in pre-professional preparation for careers in all of the health professions including medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, optometry, physician assistant, physical therapy, and other allied health professions. Because each of the health professions requires specific preparation, students must work closely with the Advisor for the Health Professions to plan a suitable program of study. This generally involves selection of an appropriate major, required courses, and internships and volunteer service opportunities in the health professions. Admission to most health professions schools is extremely competitive, requiring strong academic performance, satisfactory scores on standardized admissions tests (e.g. MCAT, DAT, GRE, etc.), and evidence of leadership, service and a working knowledge of the health professions. For medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and optometry, academic preparation generally includes a minimum of two semesters each of
General Biology
General Chemistry
Organic Chemistry
Calculus
General Physics
English In addition, many health professions schools strongly recommend or require Biochemistry, Advanced Biology electives, and other specific courses. For example, medical schools may require biochemistry and social/behavioral sciences (psychology, sociology), NP, PA programs require human anatomy and physiology. It is important to contact the Advisor for the Health Professions to confirm profession specific prerequisites.
While there is no “premed” major, most premedical sciences students complete one of the following
majors: B.S. degree in Biology B.A. degree in Chemistry, B.S. degree in Biochemistry However, with careful planning, a student may also complete the premedical sciences courses in combination with a liberal arts major.

Anna Iadeluca, Administrative Coordinator Harkins 215, (401) 865-2114; [email protected]
Areas of Responsibility: Course articulations; academic transcripts; home school tuition payments.
The Center for International Studies is responsible for the following activities at the College: Study Abroad (both semester and short-term, e.g., Maymester, summer) International Students & Scholars
Study Abroad Basics
All students who wish to study abroad must apply for Providence College approval through the Center for International Studies by December 1st of the year prior to the program. For instance, students wishing to study abroad anytime during the 2017-18 academic year must apply by December 1st of the previous year.
Student Eligibility Requirements:
Junior class standing
a minimum CGPA of 2.75
a declared major
no serious disciplinary action or probationary period up to the time of departure
no outstanding financial obligation to Providence College (any student who is indebted to the College will need to arrange payment with the Bursar's Office in order to be approved for participation in a study abroad program).
Study Abroad & International Student Services (Center for International Studies)
112
Tips for Advising Freshmen All freshmen should be asked whether or not they are considering spending a semester or year studying abroad. Students who express an interest in the possibility of studying abroad should be advised of the following:
All majors can obtain major credit abroad (with the exception of Accounting)
Students on the Providence College Center for Theology & Religious Studies program in Rome (PC in Rome) may fulfill both Theology core course requirements concurrently during one semester
Students should take their Natural Science core during the freshman or sophomore year, as this is more difficult to do abroad
Some majors have a major-specific approved programs list. Students should be encouraged to visit www.providence.edu/cis for the most up-to-date information
Students may participate in summer study abroad any time after the freshman year Applying for Study Abroad (Sophomore Year) Phase I: Providence College students apply to the Center for International Studies in the fall semester of their sophomore year for approval to participate in a semester or year-long study abroad program during their junior year. (Note: Juniors may also apply to study abroad for the fall semester of the senior year only).
Undeclared students must formally declare a major before the December 1st application deadline. This is earlier than the declaration deadline for most undeclared students, but this is done so that students applying to study abroad can discuss their study plans with and obtain approval from their major advisor and the department. Participation in a summer or short-term program is possible after the freshman, sophomore, or junior years. Phase II: Once approved by the Center to participate on study abroad, students must then apply directly to the program for admission. There are two exceptions to this: the PC in Rome program and all Danish Institute for Study Abroad (DIS) programs are “direct admit.” Students are admitted directly by the Center, so no application to the program provider (CEA and DIS, respectively) itself is required. All applicants will require letters of recommendation at some point during this phase. Faculty advisors may find it helpful to provide students with a deadline for such requests, given their own teaching and office responsibilities.
During the program application phase is when the course articulation, approval and transfer credit process occurs (whether for semester or summer study abroad). Students must submit to the Center for International Studies a Course Pre-Approval form on which they list their proposed courses of study. Course syllabi must be included (in the event that a syllabus is unavailable, a comprehensive course description may be included, but may be insufficient for final course approval).
113
Course Articulation, Approval, and Transfer Process:
Each semester, the Office of Enrollment Services will circulate to the Chairs/Directors via SAKAI (and/or to the CCC, when necessary) the list of courses that need to be articulated and approved, along with the syllabi or, when not available, the course descriptions.
Once complete, the Office of Enrollment Services then enters the list of course
articulations in the study abroad course database, found at http://departments.providence.edu/node/2
This articulated list of courses, by institution or program abroad, is available to future
students intending to study abroad, as well as to the faculty in their advising work with students.
The Center will notify the students as to what courses have been articulated, how they will count (e.g., core curriculum requirement or elective, free elective, etc.) and the number of credits approved for each course for assigning course credit at Providence College.
Each semester, the Office of Enrollment Services and the Center for International Studies will provide departments and programs with a list of the Key Dates and Deadlines for the course articulation and review process.
2. International Students The staff at the Center for International Studies is available to assist all international students and visiting exchange students with their adjustment to living in the United States and studying at Providence College.
In order to assist new entering international students with their transition to living and studying at Providence College, the Center hosts a mandatory ‘Welcome Program’ prior to the New Student Orientation at the start of the fall semester. Following the Welcome Program, they then participate in the final Advising & Registration Day and then in the New Student Orientation.
International students are expected to maintain the same level of academic rigor and behavior as all PC students. However, especially during their first year, they may struggle with English proficiency and a clear understanding of college expectations in the United States. If an international student is struggling academically, please contact the Center, which can offer guidance and make the appropriate referrals.
In advising international students, faculty advisors should exercise cultural awareness and sensitivity as many of these students will be in the US for the first time. Most will be unfamiliar with American higher education. They come with different cultural expectations of college life, how they view professors, and may have academic and learning expectations that, while appropriate in their home country, may not be so at American campuses. Thus, advisors may need to spend more time with international students to be certain they truly understand the content of the advising session and the academic expectations of the College.

Office of Academic Services

The Office of Academic Services (OAS) supports all Providence College students through a combination of academic and personal development programming, including individualized and group academic assistance, tutoring, and specialized workshops and outreach. The OAS offers unique attention and support to students with documented disabilities by providing reasonable accommodations and by advocating for equal access to all services and programs offered to members of the campus at large. The OAS also provides specialized support to student-athletes in light of the unique time demands, responsibilities, and rules governing participation in intercollegiate athletics. Services offered by the OAS include:
Tutorial Services
Individual and group tutoring sessions are available in most subject areas, including the Development
of Western Civilization. OAS peer tutors assess individual student needs, develop strategies to
address academic challenges, and help supplement classroom/textbook instruction. Tutors stress the
learning process itself and place emphasis on the acquisition of independent study skills. The Tutorial
Center is nationally certified by the College Reading & Learning Association (CRLA).
Writing Center
The Providence College Writing Center is available to assist students at any stage of the writing process, from brainstorming a topic to polishing a final draft. This means that the Center is not merely an editorial or remedial service. Through an approach to writing instruction that is student-centered, peer tutors work collaboratively with their tutees to identify and rectify chronic structural or mechanical problems, helping students avoid similar problems in future writing tasks. In short, the Writing Center’s purpose is to make better writers, not just better papers.
Special Programs and Workshops
The OAS offers several workshops devoted to academic topics including: study skills, time management, curriculum-specific success strategies, test taking, reading skills, and GRE/GMAT Test Preparation. Students may contact the OAS to schedule group workshops. They may also seek one-on-one mentoring through the associate director for student success and retention.
Coordination/Provision of Reasonable Accommodations for Students with Disabilities Students with documented disabilities (learning, physical, medical, temporary) may qualify for
reasonable accommodations, coordinated by the OAS. The assistant director for disability services is
available to discuss each student’s unique needs and coordinate individualized services. Reasonable
accommodations may include the following: extended-time tests, note-taking services, texts in
alternate format, adaptive technology, interpreters, and pre-registration for courses. Services are also
available for students with specific physical disabilities. (See Student Life and Development).
Services for Student-Athletes

FINAL EXAM CONFLICT POLICY
Given the adoption of a three final exam-per-day schedule, students who have three or more final examinations scheduled for the same day are considered to have an exam schedule conflict and may opt to have one of the exams rescheduled to another day during the exam period. If students in this situation choose to reschedule one of the exams, they should contact their professors beginning with courses fulfilling free electives. If there is no such course, contact professors of courses fulfilling core/minor requirements. If either category of courses is not possible, students will contact professors teaching courses fulfilling major requirements. If students are unable to resolve the conflict after discussion with their professors, students must submit a written request to the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies no later than Tuesday, November 25th. A make-up of a final exam must be taken during the “Conflict Exam Period” on the last day of the semester unless both student and instructor agree on an alternate date and time. Further information regarding the final exam schedule and policies can be found at http://www.providence.edu/enrollment-services/policies/Pages/exam-policy.aspx
EXAM SCHEDULING INFORMATION FOR FACULTY
Scheduling of final examinations for labs and approved non-series courses, when required,
will be the responsibility of the individual instructors. Instructors should contact the Office
of Enrollment Services via email at [email protected] to request a room for their
final examination.
Those instructors with three or more sections of the same course may request permission
from the Dean of Undergraduate & Graduate Studies to consolidate their exams into one
single time. Once approval has been granted, instructors are asked to contact the Office of
Enrollment Services via email at [email protected] to request a room for their
final examination.
In the event that a student has two examinations scheduled for the same time,
consideration and accommodation should be made and treated like a make-up exam.
