The Arthur F. and Patricia Ryan Center for Business Studies (or PCSB for Providence College School of Business) is one of Providence College’s most recent and successful additions to the campus. It was officially opened in April of 2017, offering students with business majors at Providence College state-of-the-art facilities that encourage collaboration and active learning. Some of the most notable features include a lecture hall, various classrooms, three different study areas, Bloomberg terminals, a cafe, and conference rooms. Around 39% of Providence College’s undergraduate students are business majors, with Finance as the most popular major on campus, and Marketing as a close second. Management and Accountancy are also business majors students are offered (Management the fourth most popular, Accountancy as the fifth). These percentages have risen exponentially since the opening of PCSB. The award-winning facilities and faculty offer business students an exceptional education and the necessary preparation for careers in the various business fields. The motto of PCSB is “Educating for a future based on we” as the school works hard to encourage a space for business students to collaborate and learn together. @ Providence College School of Business
