How it all Began
Located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, The King's University
College is a member of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU)
and of the Association of Universities and Colleges in Canada (AUCC). The King's
degrees are accredited under the Post-Secondary Learning Act of Alberta.
A Christian undergraduate university founded in 1979, The King's
University College offers three and four-year Bachelor degrees in the arts,
humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and commerce, as well as a
two-year Bachelor of Education after-degree. Students can enrol in over 300
courses in 20 disciplines, with 12 major concentration areas.
Currently
The King's University College has over 630 students enrolled in Bachelor of
Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor
of Education programs. The King's accepts academically qualified students of all
faiths into its programs. Thanks to the University College's size, classes are
relatively small and students are able to interact on a personal level with
professors. Students also have the opportunity to participate in faculty
research projects. In recent years, The King's commitment to a culture of
research has resulted in a number of student presentations at national and
international academic conferences, as well as student-authored academic
publications.
The King's has an active intercollegiate athletics
program, competing in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference in men's and
women's basketball, volleyball and outdoor soccer. Club sports include hockey
and indoor soccer.
Located in Alberta's dynamic capital city, just
minutes from downtown Edmonton, The King's 21,000 m2 modern campus occupies over
eight hectares. Facilities include: 34 classrooms, eight science labs, three
computer labs, a greenhouse, fine arts studios, a performance hall with pipe
organ, 1,200 m2 library, 900 m2 gymnasium, spacious cafeteria, student activity
centre, drama space, bookstore, conference rooms, atrium assembly space, outdoor
sports fields, and two student residences.
The King's attracts students
of all ages from a variety of backgrounds. Its educational philosophy is rooted
in the historic Christian faith and its teaching and research are influenced by
a Christian worldview. The University College stresses academic excellence
within a caring environment.
