    Overview

    King's is a liberal arts Catholic college founded in 1946 by the Congregation of Holy Cross from the University of Notre Dame. The minute you set foot on campus, you'll feel the warm, friendly vibe; you'll feel at home in the comfortable, urban setting.

    Students use the words 'friendly' and 'welcoming' to describe King's. You'll feel it as soon as you walk on campus - people will say hello, strangers will offer you directions and you'll feel right at home. It has to do in part with King's size. The school small enough that you can walk from your dorm to your class in less than five minutes. Our campus is attractive, safe and self-contained - so, whether you're a resident or a commuter, you'll feel a strong sense of community.

    King's offers over 60 undergraduate programs and 9 graduate programs, but no matter your major and career path, a strong liberal arts foundation blended with Holy Cross values will support your future learing in irreplaceable ways. This liberal arts foundation is what gives you the skills your future employers will be looking for. Additionally, King's programs provide ample opportunity for hands-on field exprience prior to graduation. Most importantly, and in the words of the college's founder, "King's teaches its students not only how to make a living, but how to live."
