Providence was founded by a physical therapist of over 20 years, with over 15 years of successful higher education, teaching and learning.
We approach students and education holistically and personally, to help meet the needs of healthcare providers, the needs of higher education, and the needs of the aging population.
You are never alone in your journey. Our learning community supports your learning every step of the way.
Our instructional methods and courses are aligned with both programmatic accreditation and regional accreditation standards at the doctoral-level, and are designed to transfer to the HS PhD and DHSc programs at Faulkner University.
While higher education prices continue to rise, Providence has created an affordable path to help clinicians get to the next level of their careers.
We believe in constant improvement and lifelong learning. Our team stays updated with the latest healthcare workforce data, educational strategies, and research to provide you with the best education possible.
