About
Founded in 1867, King University (originally King College) is a Presbyterian-affiliated Christian academic community dedicated to the integration of rigorous academic programming and the exploration of faith. The University establishes students in a robust liberal arts foundation and offers specialization in a contemporary range of degrees.
Academics
Many colleges will offer you the world. But how many actually take you out in the world and introduce you to new perspectives, ideas, and possibilities? At King University, your Quest begins with academic opportunities you're unlikely to find at other institutions our size.
Admissions
King has three formats to choose from to help you complete your degree - full-time day classes, classes one evening a week, or 100% online.
Faith and Values
Chapel, Convocation, and Service are important, essential ways of partially fulfilling the core values of the college: educating persons to be intellectually proficient and disciplined, spiritually astute and mature, vocationally focused and adaptive, socially confident and compassionate, life long learners, and transformers of culture.
Student Life
We strive to build a "Community that is purposeful, open, disciplined, just, caring, and celebrative." - Ernest Boyer
