In the Catholic and Dominican tradition, truth is not just a collection of unrelated propositions or disembodied ideas. It is an integrated way of life. We seek understanding not only for its own sake, but because we believe that the truth informs us about our place in the world and orients us towards that good life which all men and women desire.

The admission requirements and procedures are designed to help the College select those applicants best qualified to benefit from the educational opportunities at Providence College. The College welcomes applicants who evidence thorough scholastic preparation, good character, intellectual curiosity, and motivational purpose both in and outside of school. Submission of standardized test scores is optional for students applying for admission.

Admission to Providence College is competitive. Entering classes consist of approximately 1,125 students selected from a pool that averages over 11,000 applicants. In general, all applicants are encouraged to broaden their reading outside of class and to take every opportunity to develop their competence in writing. Applicants who cannot demonstrate competence in written English will be at a distinct disadvantage in the competition for admission.

First-Year Admission Requirements

1. Application and Notification Applicants to Providence College must complete the Common Application and forms, and submit the $65 application fee. Students have the option of paying the application fee by credit card or by e-check. Applicants who require an application fee waiver may petition for one through their college advisor. The application deadlines for enrollment in the fall semester are as follows:

Applicants must submit a non-refundable commitment deposit before the designated deadline to confirm enrollment. Late applicants for any deadline will be considered on the basis of availability of classroom and residence hall space.

Providence College provides updates during the course of the admission process to applicants via e-mail. Therefore, it is important that applicants provide the College with an e-mail address that will be active throughout the application process.

2. Secondary School Report The college advisor’s assessment of the applicant’s character and accomplishments, and an official transcript of the secondary school record, should be forwarded to the College by the appropriate date indicated above; the secondary school transcript should consist of courses of a substantive college-preparatory nature. Individual cases may vary, but it is highly recommended that at a minimum an applicant complete four years of English, four years of mathematics, three years of social studies, three years of one world language, and three years of science, with at least two laboratory courses. Students who are most successful have completed four years of the five core subjects (English, mathematics, science, history, and world language), and have challenged themselves by selecting and completing honors and advanced placement courses offered at their high school. Applicants planning to major in the disciplines of science or mathematics will be at a distinct disadvantage if they have not taken four years of math and science during their high school studies. Students considering a major in the sciences should complete at least pre-calculus, and preferably calculus, at an advanced level along with four years of science, including biology, chemistry, and physics, and another upper-level lab science. Students who declare a major in the School of Business must complete pre-calculus as a prerequisite to enter as a business major.

3. Recommendations Applicants may send additional optional letters of recommendation from a teacher, coach, employer, or someone who knows them well.

4. SAT or ACT Examinations Submission of standardized test scores is optional. The review for admission at Providence College focuses on the applicant’s high-school performance, involvement, recommendations, and other application materials, rather than standardized test results. The applicant, therefore, may decide whether or not to submit standardized test results with other application materials. Applicants who choose not to submit SAT or ACT test scores will not be penalized in the review for admission. While submission of SAT or ACT test scores are not required for admission to the College, students who declare teacher education majors are required by the state of Rhode Island to pass the SAT or ACT at a specific level in order to be eligible for state certification upon completion of their degree. For additional information and test requirements please visit Education Programs   . For additional details about the test-optional policy please visit  https://admission.providence.edu/apply/standardized-testing/ .

5. Academic and Disciplinary Standing Students must be in good academic and disciplinary standing at their current institution. Providence College reserves the right to withdraw an offer of admission if we learn of behavior that brings into question an admitted student’s honesty, maturity, or good moral character, or that would otherwise have caused us to not have extended an offer of admission.

6. Campus Visits Applicants are encouraged to visit Providence College for a personal interview, an individual day visit, Information Session, and/or a student-guided tour before or after they apply for admission. Please contact the Office of Admission at 401.865.2535 or click here for further information or to register for a campus visit.

Early Decision

Students who have identified Providence College as their first choice may apply at our Early Decision deadlines of November 1 (Early Decision I) or January 15 (Early Decision II). Early Decision is a binding agreement, which means that students who are admitted to the College through this program are expected to withdraw their applications to all other colleges and attend Providence College. Students who have previously applied Early Action and are still being considered for admission have the option to change to Early Decision II by January 15.

Early Decision I applicants will receive one of three decisions: they may be admitted to PC, or they may be deferred, or they may be denied admission. Students who are deferred will be released from the Early Decision agreement and will be reconsidered in March. A deny at the Early Decision stage is a final decision, and students who are denied are not eligible to reapply at the Regular Decision deadline.

Early Decision II applicants may be admitted, they may be placed on the waitlist or they may be denied admission. All students who are placed on the waitlist are released from the Early Decision agreement. Those who opt to remain on the waitlist will receive regular waitlist updates via email as the admission office assesses enrollment goals. A deny at the Early Decision II stage is a final decision.

Early Action

Well-qualified applicants are encouraged to apply as Early Action candidates in order to receive notification of a decision by early January. To be considered under this program, applications must be received by November 1. Early Action decisions are based on school records at the end of the junior year, senior-year course schedule, and SAT or ACT test results if submitted, in addition to the other pieces of the Common Application.

The Committee on Admission will respond to applicants not accepted under the Early Action Program in the following manner:

• Those for whom a favorable decision may still be possible will be deferred to the regular applicant group to be reconsidered in March. If Providence College emerges as a top choice, students who are deferred in the Early Action pool may change to Early Decision II by January 15.
• Remaining applicants will be notified of a final negative decision immediately, an approach which benefits those applicants who might wish to pursue alternative application plans. Applicants who are denied admission at the Early Action stage may not reapply at Regular Decision or change to Early Decision II.

Regular Decision

Applying at the Regular Decision deadline is an opportunity for students to present a more complete application to the Committee on Admission. Students who would like the Committee to consider their first semester or trimester in the senior year as part of the application, or test scores taken after the early deadlines, are encouraged to apply at the Regular Decision deadline. Regular Decision applicants will receive one of three decisions; they may be admitted, placed on the waitlist, or they may be denied admission. Students who opt to remain on the waitlist will receive regular waitlist updates via e-mail as the admission office assesses enrollment goals.

For information about merit scholarships, financial aid, and need-based scholarships please reference the Financial Aid and Scholarships    section of the catalog.

Transfer Admission Requirements

Students who have earned at least 9 transferable credits after graduating from high school may apply for admission as a transfer student. Students who earned an associate’s degree in a dual enrollment program while simultaneously earning a high school diploma must apply as first-year students. Transfer applicants are encouraged to achieve a B average in their prior college work. Transfer credit toward undergraduate degrees will be granted for approved academic work with a grade of C or better at a fully accredited institution. Providence College does not enroll under any status a student who is not in good academic and disciplinary standing at a previous institution. Students seeking admission from two-year colleges and who have graduated from high school are normally encouraged to complete requirements for the associate degree prior to transfer but are not required to do so. All students who have earned a GED are required to complete an associate degree to be eligible to apply for transfer. Applicants who had applied to Providence College as a first-year student, but were not granted admission, are required to complete one full year of college course work in a full-time status before reapplying as a transfer student.

1. Application Students who wish to apply for transfer to Providence College must complete the Common Application and forms for Transfer Students, and submit the $65 application fee. The transfer application fee will be waived for transfer applicants who applied to the College in the past. Students have the option of paying the application fee by credit card or by e-check. Applicants who require an application fee waiver may petition for one through their guidance or college counselor.

The transfer application deadlines are April 1 for candidates seeking admission to the fall semester and December 1 for candidates seeking admission to the spring semester. Adherence to these deadlines allows full consideration by the Committee on Admission, evaluation of course work for transfer credit, and a review for campus housing and financial aid. Late applications for any deadline will be considered on the basis of availability of classroom and residence hall space.

2. College Report The College Report may be found at  www.commonapp.org . Transfer applicants must print the form and submit it to the college official who has access to academic and disciplinary records at the current or most recently attended college. The completed form should then be sent to Providence College. Providence College will not review an application without this report.

Transfer applicants must be in good academic and disciplinary standing at their current institution. Providence College reserves the right to withdraw an offer of admission if we learn of behavior that brings into question an admitted student’s honesty, maturity, or good moral character, or that would otherwise have caused us to not have extended an offer of admission.

3. Official Transcripts Transfer applicants must request that the final official high school transcript and official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended be sent to Providence College. If transfer applicants have course work in progress at the time of application, a transcript that documents all course work completed to date should be sent.

4. Personal Statement The essay will be used to evaluate writing skills and to learn student intentions for entering the transfer process.

5. Recommendations Transfer applicants are welcome to submit letters of recommendation; however, they are optional.

6. Syllabi Students are required to send class syllabi to [email protected] for transfer credit evaluation. The evaluation must be completed before an admission decision.

7. Notification Transfer applicants for the spring semester receive notification on a rolling basis two to four weeks after receipt of the completed application beginning November 1. Candidates for the fall semester receive notification beginning mid to late April. After that, notification will be sent four weeks after all application materials are received.

8. SAT or ACT Examinations Submission of standardized test scores is optional. The academic review for transfer admission at Providence College focuses on the applicant’s high school and college-level performance, essay, disciplinary standing, and recommendations, if submitted, rather than standardized test results. The applicant, therefore, may decide whether or not to submit standardized test results with other application materials. Students who choose not to submit SAT or ACT test scores will not be penalized in the review for admission. While submission of SAT or ACT test scores are not required for admission to the College, students who declare teacher education majors are required by the state of Rhode Island to pass the SAT or ACT at a specific level in order to be eligible for state certification upon completion of their degree. For additional information and test requirements please visit Education Programs   . For additional details about the test-optional policy please visit  https://admission.providence.edu/apply/standardized-testing/ .

Transfer Credit

Students who have earned at least 9 transferrable credits after graduating from high school may apply for admission as a transfer student. Students who earned an associate’s degree in a dual enrollment program while simultaneously earning a high school diploma must apply as first-year students.

A maximum of 60 hours of transfer credit may be accepted toward the undergraduate degree. Students who have earned 60 credits through transfer course work may enroll in additional transfer courses (e.g. a summer course) only with approval from the Associate Provost for Academic Policy and Mission Support. To be eligible for a degree, transfer students must complete the final two years in full-time attendance at Providence College and earn at least 50 percent of their major credits with Providence College course work.

Ordinarily, the College accepts transfer credits for courses taken at another accredited institution in which students have earned grades of “C” or better; however, grades received in course work completed at other institutions are not computed in a student’s grade point average at Providence College. Only grades earned at Providence College (including the School of Continuing Education) or through its approved affiliate semester programs are computed in the student’s grade point average.

Relevant information regarding course work from other institutions (e.g., course descriptions and/or syllabi) is reviewed by the appropriate academic department or program to determine existing Providence College course equivalents if any. Approved transfer courses are identified on the College’s transcripts with the Providence College course equivalent. In the event that an exact match in the College’s curriculum does not exist, the College may award elective credit.

Applicants accepted as transfer students are responsible for understanding how their transfer credits fit into their academic program requirements. Students should consult with their faculty advisor and/or the Student Success Center if they have questions regarding the applicability of transfer course work toward their degree.

After initial matriculation at Providence College, students may seek permission to enroll in courses at other institutions in fulfillment of their major, minor, or certificate program requirements. Written authorization from the Student Success Center is required in advance of any such enrollment. Credits earned at other institutions through summer school or intersession courses may be approved only for the purpose of rectifying deficiencies in credit hours earned or fulfilling specific program requirements as authorized, not for the purpose of accelerating the advancement of graduation class year status.

Students who have earned transfer credits with specific Providence College equivalencies may not enroll in the same course and receive additional credit. In adherence to the College’s course-repeat policy (see Office of the Registrar   ), credits may only be earned for the most recent course attempt. Thus, the original transfer credit will remain on the official transcript, but may not be counted toward the student’s earned credit hours or grade point average.

Official transcripts listing all transfer coursework from the accredited institutions must be forwarded to the Office of Admission.

College credits earned through advanced placement or dual enrollment while in high school will be noted as such on the academic record following appropriate approval by the Associate Provost for Academic Policy and Mission Support.

Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate/High School-College Dual Enrollment/A-Levels: Cambridge International Exams

The College participates in the Advanced Placement Program administered by the College Entrance Examination Board. Students who demonstrate superior performance in the Advanced Placement Examination (a score of 4 or 5) will be awarded Advanced Placement credit. See the Advanced Placement (AP) Equivalency Chart    for more specific information concerning the placement of AP courses within the academic program.

Providence College recognizes credit earned through the International Baccalaureate (IB) Exam Chart   , an internationally recognized curriculum and examination program. Of the two IB examination levels (Higher Level and Standard Level), the College recognizes the Higher Level examinations where a score of 5, 6, or 7 has been achieved. Each successfully passed examination in the Higher Level of the IB program will earn three credits. Official documentation of each successfully completed examination with the conditions noted must be submitted to the Office of Admission prior to a student’s matriculation at the College.

Students who successfully complete dual enrollment courses at accredited institutions should submit an official college transcript to the Office of Admission by August 1. Credit for dual enrollment courses is ordinarily not awarded for courses required for high school graduation. Students taught college-level courses by high school faculty are not eligible for credit in those courses, but are encouraged to take the Advanced Placement Examinations in order to be considered for credit. To be eligible for dual-enrolled credit, courses must be taken on the college campus and/or taught by a college or university faculty member of record. The Office of the Provost reserves the right to determine whether courses are taken from a college or university by incoming students while in high school may be accepted as transfer credits. Final approval of dual enrollment course credits will be made by the associate provost for academic policy and mission support. Students who wish to obtain academic credit for dual enrollment courses should plan to meet with the associate provost during their first semester at Providence College.

Providence College accepts select University of Cambridge International Advanced Level examinations. Students earning grades of A, B, or C on the A-Level exams may be eligible to earn transfer credit. A-Level exams will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the academic department or designee. Providence College will not award transfer credit for AS or O-level exams. An official transcript with the course syllabi should be sent to the Office of Admission for review.

Students who are granted Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), dual enrollment, or A-Levels: Cambridge International Exams credit are still required to complete the College’s full-time, eight-semester requirement. (See Academic Policies   , General Degree Requirements, Number 6.)

International Students & Scholars

Applications from international students are considered for full-time degree programs beginning in the fall semester. International students must take necessary steps to assure that a complete application including official transcripts, official test scores, letters of recommendation, certificate of finances, and the PC supplement are forwarded to the Office of Admission by the designated deadlines. Transcripts from non-English-speaking countries must be accompanied by a certified English translation.

While individual circumstances may vary, international students whose native language is not English are normally expected to present results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or the Duolingo English Test (DET). For information regarding administration of these exams, please contact the coordinator of international admission in the Office of Admission.

Providence College provides academic merit-based, athletic scholarships, and a limited amount of need-based financial assistance to international students each year. Merit-based scholarships are awarded by the Committee on Scholarships to students whose application for admission displays outstanding academic credentials. 

Students seeking consideration for need-based financial assistance are required to submit the CSS Profile along with all supporting bank statements (no more than 3 months old) at the time they apply for admission. Candidates will be considered for admission and institutional need-based financial assistance based upon a review of the academic qualifications, financial need, and availability of student aid resources.

Please note that international students who do not plan to apply for need-based financial assistance are still required to submit the International Student Certification of Finances form and supporting bank statements with their application for admission. Providence College utilizes a need-aware admission policy for international students. Those students who demonstrate that they can afford the cost of attendance will be given preference in the evaluation process.

Providence College is authorized by the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State to enroll non-immigrant students. Admitted undergraduate international applicants are issued an F-1 student visa for study at the College. In order to be issued an F-1 visa, admitted international applicants must meet the following eligibility criteria: letter of admission to the College, evidence of financial funds to support all educational and living expenses in the U.S., payment of the I-901 SEVIS fee, evidence of English proficiency, and possession of the Form I-20. The Form I-20 is issued by Providence College and mailed to the student once Providence College receives the Enrollment Reservation Form and other necessary financial documentation. The student must have the Form I-20 prior to making the consular appointment to receive the visa stamp.

International students are required to have obtained appropriate immigration status from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services prior to the start of school.

The Director of International Student Success in the Center for Global Education, and the Student Success Center provide advising services to international students and visiting scholars with respect to immigration and visa matters, work permission, orientation, cultural adjustment, and personal concerns. The Directors serve as a liaison for international students with other campus offices, faculty, and administrative staff, and sponsors various social and cultural activities throughout the year. A mandatory Welcome Program is held prior to the start of the Fall semester to help new incoming international students with cultural and social integration to the U.S. and to the academic expectations of Providence College.

Admission for Home-Schooled Students

Providence College welcomes applications from individuals who have proof of graduation from a home-schooled program. As with the requirements for applicants from public or private schools, the submission of standardized test scores is optional.

If home-schooled applicants follow a prescribed curriculum, evidence of course work completed will need to be submitted. If not associated with a particular program or institution, the applicant is encouraged to submit a descriptive résumé that outlines the student’s high school work, level of challenge, and depth and breadth of curriculum.

Please note that all home-schooled students are required to have an interview either in person, via phone, or skype. For additional information please visit https://admission.providence.edu/apply/home-schooled-students/ .

Early Admission

Although the College believes that most students benefit from four years of secondary education, early admission may be approved for outstanding candidates who have completed less than the traditional sequence of requirements. Students who will have demonstrated superior achievement upon completion of three years of secondary education and who have exhausted the advanced courses in their secondary school program may apply for early admission in the same manner as those students who will have completed four years of secondary education before enrolling at Providence College. In addition, early admission applicants must be recommended by their high school principal or guidance counselor on the basis of academic potential and emotional maturity. An admission interview is required.

Deferred Enrollment

It is possible for admitted students to defer enrollment for up to one year. Students wishing to defer admission should contact the Office of Admission before August 1. Students whose requests are approved will be informed that they may not enroll in a post-graduate program or as a matriculated student at another institution. During the deferral year, however, students may earn a maximum of eight college credits. For purposes of determining whether credits taken during the deferral year may be counted among the credits required to graduate from Providence College, our Transfer Credit Policy  will apply. 

Students granted a deferral still are expected to submit the non-refundable enrollment fee by the appropriate deadline to secure their place in the class, and (if applicable) their merit scholarship, for the following academic year. It is important to note that financial aid packages may also be modified for the following academic year. Students must re-apply each year for need-based financial aid and submit the CSS Profile and FAFSA by the deadlines published on our website.

Readmission and Reinstatement

Students who voluntarily withdraw from the College and who wish to reapply for admission should begin the process by contacting the Student Success Center. For additional information, please refer to the Academic Policies    section of this catalog. Students who are dismissed for academic reasons may petition the Committee on Academic Status for reinstatement to the College as outlined in the Academic Policies    section of this catalog.

Non-Degree/Special Student Status

Special student status is reserved for those persons who are not baccalaureate degree candidates at the College but who wish to select one or more courses for academic credit for which they are qualified and can demonstrate special need. One must have held a high school diploma for at least two years to be eligible to apply. Applicants from other colleges and universities must present evidence of good academic and disciplinary standing. Attendance at Providence College as a special student is on a non-degree, non-matriculated status only. Special students are not eligible for campus housing or financial aid. Enrollment is normally for one semester only. A maximum of 12 credits earned in special student status may be applied toward degree requirements.

Applications for consideration as a special student are available from the Office of Admission. Applications and supporting credentials should be submitted by August 15 for the fall semester and December 1 for the spring semester.

Veterans’ Deployment and Readmission Policy

Under the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008, a student who is called to active duty in the United States Armed Forces or the National Guard or Reserve for a period of more than 30 days is entitled to re-enroll in the same program, with the same enrollment status, number of credits, and academic standing as when they were last in attendance at Providence College.

Readmission is allowed provided the student meets the following requirements:

• the cumulative length of the student’s absences from the college because of service on active duty does not exceed five years (which period may be extended in certain cases, as provided by statute);
• the student notifies the college upon completion of service that they intend to re-enroll at the college; and
• the student has not been discharged from the Armed Forces with a dishonorable or bad-conduct discharge.

Hey everyone! I'm starting my college search and I'm really passionate about interior design. Can anyone suggest some top interior design schools in the US? Thanks!

Hi! It's fantastic that you're interested in pursuing your passion for interior design in college. Here are some of the top interior design schools in the US, known for their strong programs and excellent faculty:

2. Rhode Island School of Design (Providence, RI) — RISD is one of the leading art and design schools in the US. They offer a BFA in Interior Architecture, which combines interior design principles with architectural skills.

3. Pratt Institute (Brooklyn, NY) — Another respected design school, Pratt offers both BFA and Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degrees in Interior Design.

4. Savannah College of Art and Design (Savannah, GA) — SCAD has a strong interior design program with BFA, MFA, and online options available.

5. New York School of Interior Design (New York City) — As the name suggests, this school focuses solely on interior design education. They offer a range of programs, including Associate's, Bachelor's, and Master's degrees in interior design.

6. California College of the Arts (San Francisco, CA) — CCA offers a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Interior Design with a curriculum focused on sustainable design practices.

I highly recommend taking this tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and thoughtful to our needs.

Recently I took the Discover Rhode Island tour from Experience Rhode Island Tours. This 90 minute tour ($35) runs from Mondays to Saturdays either once or twice a day (11am and/or 2pm). Call or get online to make reservations. The shuttle picks you up in front of the Visitor Center at the Convention Center on Sabin street. John was the tour guide and he gave a really good overview of the city to the group, which was made up of 7 people. The tour took us around Federal Hill, the West End, College Hill (including the campus area of Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design), and downtown. We had a chance to get off the shuttle van and walk in Federal Hill near DePasquale square and in College Hill by Prospect Park. The 90 minutes flew by...it was so much fun...Very informative and lively...I would recommend to anyone wanting a quick overview of Providence.

Thank you for your thorough reveiw, Robert! We enjoyed having you with us!

Best City Tour I've Ever Been On. This was awesome. Our tour guide Phil was extremely personable and warm, and gave the most thorough overview of this great city possible in just 90 minutes. What a city! And what a terrific tour company! (PS: Wec were traveling in a camper and couldn't find parking, so Phil jumped in to our cab with us and took us to a perfect "secret" spot. What a guy!)

Aug 2, 2023

It makes very happy to read that our Discover Providence tour is the berst city tour that you have ever been on. Thank you so much for letting us and others know!

The tour was excellent. The tour guide Ted, kept every single passenger fully engaged. He is very well rounded and proficient in all aspects of RI State, geography, history and climate. The weather was amazingly beautiful, which helped us in enjoying our trip to the fullest extent. You can't be a resident of RI State and miss booking your tours with this impressive tour company. By the way, the tour was Automn in New England. Visiting the liberty Farm and having the horse wagon ride was very nice. Adams farm was another beautiful farm, which made me admire those farmers for their real hard work to earn living.

Nov 28, 2023

Thank you for your review, Magdoleen! It was a delight to have you with us on the Autumn in New England tour!

Buy the tickets directly from the venue. A $5 charge is applied if you buy online. Driver was knowledgeable and friendly. It's a great way to see the area in a very short time if you don't have a window seat you will miss a lot.

Thank you for you for joining us, Stacy, and for your review!

My husband & I went on this all day tour in May 2023. We went on this tour 3 1/2 years ago and enjoyed so much we decided to go again. We were not disappointed, it was everything we remember and more. Our tour guide was knowledgeable with so many stories and historic events, he made the 7ish hours fly bye. We had a picture opportunities, stopped in Newport to eat lunch (our expense), drove by amazing homes and historical landmarks. If you want to get the most out of a day in RI, please take this tour!

Thank you so much for your review, Teri. It was great to see you and your husband again!

We enjoyed the Thursday, June 1 2023 @ 2:00pm - 3:30pm Discover Providence Sightseeing Tour. Tour guide was friendly, funny and knowledgeable. Only in town for 2 days, so happy we did this! We could have walked around for hours and not seen and done a fraction of what this tour provides. We highly recommend this tour!

Thank you so much for joining us, John, and for your review!

Highly recommend. Karl at the agency was knowledgeable and instructed us so well on all things RI which helped us a lot. We did the discover Providence tour and we enjoyed the commentary and the tour thoroughly.

Thank you, Geeti!

Phil was the tour guide for the Providence experience. It was informative and never dull with a guide and his sense of humor. He answered questions willingly and brought the charm of the city to life. Great recommendations for places to dine and bakeries to visit. This is a must do activity when traveling to Providence especially for the first time.

Thank you so much for your review, Dan!

We did the Discover Providence tour and couldn't have had a better time. Our tour guide was informative, knowledgeable, and entertaining. Choices of stops along the way provided amazing shopping and views. Next time we come back we are sure to do one of the other tours they offer. If it's your first time in Providence I recommend doing the tour first so you can get a good idea of places to eat visit afterwards.

Bruce in The USA ✺ Saturday, June 22 at 8P

Bruce In The USA is much more than just another tribute…this high-energy musical experience is a note-perfect and visually accurate recreation of a Bruce Springsteen & The E St. Band show.

Matt Ryan, from the World Famous “Legends In Concert” cast, began playing the Springsteen character in 2000, in Legends “full scale” Las Vegas show. The great success in the famous Las Vegas show brought him to performances across the world, eventually evolving his character into the Bruce In The USA show.

The Bruce In The USA Band consists of seasoned world class professional musicians. The show has hosted musicians from such acts/bands as Queen/Paul Rogers, Meatloaf, Blue Oyster Cult, Hall and Oats, Joe  Cocker, The Ojays, Aretha Franklin, David Cassidy, The Temptations, Slash… and so many more.

This high end, powerhouse band has taken this genre of performance art to a whole new level, making it the World’s #1 Tribute to the E Street Band’s musical legacy.

To millions of diehard fans around the world, it’s Springsteen’s marathon, party-like performances that have elevated him to hero status. Bruce’s legendary concerts (in the largest arenas) sell-out within hours of their announced sale. For those even lucky enough to get a ticket, there was nothing that could fill the aching void in between Bruce’s long-awaited tours…until now….

The Bruce In The USA show was born on the Las Vegas Strip in the winter of 2004, with its debut at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, in the majestic “V Theatre”.

John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band with special guests Steve Smith and The Nakeds ✺  Saturday, July 13 at 8P

John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band began their career in 1973 and achieved mainstream success in the 1980s with the "Eddie & The Cruisers- Motion Picture Soundtrack".

It is featured in the new 2024 Peter Farrelly film Ricky Stanicky starring Zac Efron and John Cena.

Steve Smith and The Nakeds are celebrating 50 esteemed years of live performances and studio recordings. The ten man unit consists of a four-piece rhythm section, a five-piece brass section and its lead vocalist, Steve Smith. Throughout their fifty-year history, the rhymn & blues powerhouse has thrived with their distinct infectious blend of rhythm, brass and fun. The band has shared the touring stage and recording studio with Bruce Springsteen’s saxophonist, Clarence Clemons, for a series of critically-acclaimed performances. In 2013, they were inducted into the Rhode Island Music Hall Of Fame. They are multiple Motif Award winners. They have appeared on MTV’s video countdown program The Basement Tapes and on an episode of The Family Guy . 

Yachtley Crew ✺ Saturday, July 27 at 8P

Yachtley Crew are the seven-piece So Cal band who burst onto the club scene in 2017, selling out countless local venues before starting a nationwide Yacht Rock craze. The band set sail on their “Full Steam Ahead Tour” in February and continue on their nationwide tour throughout 2024 in support of their debut EP  Seas The Day  via Jimmy Buffett’s Mailboat Records.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

Where to watch movies for free in Moscow this summer

People watching a movie in a Pioner 24-hour open-air cinema in Gorky Park.

Temporary cinemas will be popping up across Moscow very soon, starting from July 16. All of the spots are brilliant examples of either constructivist or avant-garde architecture, so expect striking settings. A selection of classic Soviet films will be aired using cinematic equipment from the last century. All the screenings are free although online registration is required beforehand, while there will also be guided tours of the spaces, organized by the “Moscow through the Engineer's Eyes” company.

Registration will be open soon at mos-kino.ru

Bread factory

Following the success of former factories transformed into art spaces (VinZavod, Arma, Trekhgornaya manufacture), Khlebzavod (“bread factory”) No 9 is one newly opened joint that is attracting creative types from all over the city. The movie Time! Forward! will be screened in the building’s boiler room on July 16. It follows workers from the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, one of the largest steel companies in Russia, and is based on a novel by Soviet writer Valentin Kataev.

What’s more, Khlebzavod is a monument to constructivist architecture. Where better to watch such a film?

Novodmitrovskaya St. 1

Roof of the Narkomfin Building

The Narkomfin Building was originally designed to house high ranking employees at the Commissariat of Finance. It was built by architects Moisei Ginsburg and Ignaty Milinis. Also a fine example of constructivism, it’s currently in a state of disrepair, locked down, and fairly difficult to get into - which is like a red flag to a bull for more adventurous types.

However, on July 30 the place will be opened up and people will be welcomed onto the roof to watch the film Faith and Truth.

Novinsky Blvrd . 25b1

Khrushchyovka courtyard

A courtyard located in the 9th experimental block of the Novye Cheremushki district will turn into an outdoor cinema this summer. Cheremushki is the first district where Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchyov decided to build the iconic Khrushchyovka apartment blocks in the 1950s. As a result, thousands of Russians were given their own pads after decades living huddled together in communal apartments known as kommunalka .

Cheremushki is the adapted film-version of Dmitry Shostakovich’s operetta and will be shown here on Aug. 6. The organizers of the multiple screenings - the Moskino cinema chain - say they will revive the Soviet tradition of neighbors meeting in courtyards for a good old tongue wag. There will also be a guided tour of the block.

Address to be confirmed at mos-kino.ru

Pioneers Palace

If you want a slice of the postwar Soviet avant-garde style, head to the Pioneers Palace at Vorobyevy Gory. Pioneers Palaces were youth centers for sport, creativity, and hobbies for Young Pioneers (a communist organization for children) during the Soviet Union. There were dance classes, martial arts, drawing, and many other activities.

To Love a Man , a movie about two young architects building a new town in Siberia, will be shown here on Aug. 22. There will also be a lecture about building experiments in the 20th century.

Kosygina St. 17b2

A secret place

The last cinema venue remains a secret. On Aug. 27 there will be a screening, but at the moment no one knows where. Information will appear on mos-kino.ru but those who attend all four screenings above will be able to guess the last location.

A talk about architecture and Soviet history also will be hosted here.
