Inspiring Students Since 1979

Located in Edmonton, Alberta, The King's University offers exceptional liberal arts education from a Christian perspective and serves students from across Canada and around the world.

We believe that the world is best studied from the perspective that it was created by and belongs to God. Being founded in the Christian faith, we strive to reflect Christ's love and grace to all members of our community. King's ranks highly on national surveys for student-faculty engagement, a supportive campus, and quality of teaching. We provide an environment that promotes personal, spiritual, and academic growth for all students. Students leave King’s prepared to bring renewal and reconciliation to every walk of life.

Bright Hope for Tomorrow

King's strives to make a transformative impact in the world. Programs prepare students for careers in business, teaching, natural and computing science, government, industry, and more.

We believe renewal and reconciliation is possible in every walk of life, and King's helps to achieve this vision by equipping learners—professors and students alike—to contribute to the public good and the advancement of God's Kingdom.

Committed to Christian Academic Excellence

For over 40 years, King's has been committed to the highest level of excellence in teaching and research. All programs at King's are approved by the Government of Alberta, and our robust liberal arts foundation supports critical thinking and academic development. Students have opportunities to learn and research alongside faculty experts in every program, from the university's Leder School of Business and Micah Centre for Justice and Development to science, business, humanities, and social science bachelor's degree programs. Additionally, King’s is home to several Canada Research Chair appointees, 3M Teaching Award recipients, and acclaimed industry experts.

Caring Community

Building a Christian learning community where all belong and flourish has been a top priority since King’s was founded in 1979. King's is known for its vibrant tight-knit campus; student-professor ratio; accessible academic, mental health, and wellness supports; faculty availability outside of the classroom; and as a place where life-long friendships are formed each year.

Impactful Opportunities for Students

At King's, students have opportunities to learn and grow outside the classroom. Internships, directed study, practicum placements, hands-on learning, career and vocation counselling, and off-campus field learning all play key roles in promoting success before and after graduation.
