Providence University College and Theological Seminary is an interdenominational evangelical Christian University College and Theological Seminary located approximately 50 kilometres (31 miles) south-east of Winnipeg in Otterburne, Manitoba.
Providence is currently accredited by The Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE). The College offers over 200 courses that are transferable to University of Manitoba. Students can also transfer many courses to other Canadian educational institutions such as Brandon University and the University of Winnipeg.
The Winnipeg Bible Training School was founded in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 1925, and renamed a short time later to Winnipeg Bible Institute. Its founding was pushed forward by Reverend H. L. Turner.
When it received a provincial charter to grant theological degrees in 1949, it was renamed Winnipeg Bible Institute and College of Theology
The college started a full degree-granting program and was renamed Winnipeg Bible College in 1963.
In 1970, facing the demolition of its quarters, shortfall in funds, and low enrolment, the college moved 50 kilometers south to Otterburne, Man., where it acquired the vacant building of the former St. Joseph's College, a Roman Catholic high school. Enrollment that year was 70 students.
A graduate division was formed as Providence Theological Seminary in 1972, which had full membership in the Association of Theological Schools (ATS). In 1992 the school was renamed Providence College and Theological Seminary. For the academic year of 2009-10 more than 200 students had enrolled. The name was further changed in 2011 to Providence University College and Theological Seminary.
