Inside this program
Wrestle With Hot Topics
It's important to engage in good conversations about war, peace, human rights, and individual freedoms. As a PHE student, you will learn roles that different actors— government, non-profits, business, media, schools, and the church—each can play in human flourishing.
Focus On Applying Learning And Theory To Real Life Situations
Dig deeper into concerns and challenges facing our local, national, and global communities. Explore how we arrived at where we are today and possible actions and changes that could bring healing and justice to more people.
Study Three Disciplines In One Degree
Why? Each discipline provides expertise relevant to participation in the public sphere and society at large. Together, a study of politics, history, and economics equips students to apply a broad range of thinking and tools to complex and ever-changing situations.
Off-Campus Opportunities
Internships
PHE students are encouraged and assisted to participate in internships during their studies where possible. Internships count toward the number of courses needed to graduate and offer valuable work experience and networking opportunities.
Laurentian Leadership Centre
King's students are offered special placement into the Laurentian Leadership Centre (LLC) in Ottawa, Ontario through Trinity Western University. The program combines a half-time internship with courses in leadership, public policy, and more. Previous students of LLC have interned with the Prime Minister’s Office, members of parliament, senators, minister offices, and NGOs. Students may take the program as a student, or as a graduate, of The King’s University.
Micah Centre for Justice and Development
The Micah Centre is an initiative of The King's University that fosters understanding and action among students, faculty, and the community at large around issues of global poverty, peacemaking, and social justice.
