According to a press release, more students are receiving a Providence education than at any time since 2009.

The institution’s Registrar’s Report for the 2016-17 winter semester was recently released.

Additionally, winter credit hours are as robust as they’ve been since 2010, and overall net registrations are nearly 12 per cent higher than at this time last year. Meanwhile, the Otterburne, Manitoba campus continues to diversify, with 132 international students participating in Providence life.

Winter enrollment at Providence University College is trending upward, boosted by a record number of students pursuing TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) certificates. Degree programs in Aviation (Advanced), Biblical & Theological Studies, Business Administration (Co-op) and Social Science have also grown since the fall.

Overall, the University College is enjoying its highest enrollment since 2011.

The trends at Providence Theological Seminary are similarly encouraging for the school. Registrations are at their highest for a winter semester in seven years, as are the credit hours being taken by graduate-level students. At present, 101 students are also taking courses through Distance Education.
