Management Department at Providence College

There are leaders—and then there are leaders who graduated from PC. The difference is clear: our students don’t just learn key management skills. They discover themselves, surface their purpose and passions, and build their own capabilities. They lean into their strengths and embrace challenges with a growth mindset. Management majors explore their passion and purpose, improve their wellbeing, and develop the competency to create transformational change in themselves, as well as their teams, organizations, and even societies.
