About This School

Providence Christian College is a private nonprofit institution located in Pasadena, California with approximately 144 undergraduate students enrolled. Providence Christian College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 93%. The average net price after financial aid is $25,378 per year. The graduation rate is 53%.

Providence Christian College is a private Christian liberal arts college in Pasadena, California. Founded in 2002, the institution identifies with the confessionally Reformed tradition but maintains no formal denominational affiliation. The college offers a single academic program leading to a bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies. It closes in May 2026, as announced on 9 February 2026.

The numbers tell a mixed story here: while the median debt at graduation is a reassuringly low $14,500 and the intimate 144-student community suits students who want close faculty relationships and a strong Reformed Christian academic environment, the 53% graduation rate is a real concern that warrants a hard conversation before enrolling. Worth considering if you're specifically drawn to the classical liberal arts within a Christian framework and have a solid plan for staying enrolled — but families should ask directly why nearly half of students don't finish.
