Description
A degree-granting institution offering Christian university education, King's is located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Founded in 1979, King's offers fully-accredited, Bachelor degrees in the arts, humanities, music, social sciences, natural sciences and commerce/management, theology, as well as a Bachelor of Education after-degree. Students can enroll in over 300 courses in 20 disciplines, with 13 major concentration areas.
With small class sizes King's students receive the kind of personal attention that cannot be found in larger university settings. Undergraduate students, mentored one-on-one, acquire hands-on experience in self-directed research projects, collaborating with local, national and international partners. King's students have the advantage of meeting regularly with a faculty advisor. All professors are easily accessible and if students have questions or require extra help, they meet directly with faculty - not their assistants.
