About the university
Providence University College and Theological Seminary is a private Christian institution with a 100-acre campus in Otterburne, south of Winnipeg, and a downtown site in Winnipeg. The University College teaches undergraduate programmes such as business administration, psychology, biology, health science, aviation and biblical studies; the Seminary offers graduate theology and counselling programmes.
For Indian students the most relevant options are the two-year Master of Management and Master of Arts in Educational Leadership at Prov Downtown, which Providence says are designed for international students and lead to PGWP eligibility. Providence says Seminary programmes are not PGWP-eligible. Undergraduate international tuition at Otterburne is about CA$17,070 a year; Providence lists the undergraduate programmes but we did not open their individual pages.
