As a Catholic institution, King’s emphasizes the value of each individual and the importance of social justice. Students from all faiths and backgrounds are most welcome. At King’s we believe that the exchange of varying ideas and perspectives builds mutual understanding.

King’s faculty receive the highest teaching scores in the nation — scores that are provided by students for students. Our dedicated teachers are widely recognized in their fields of expertise. Most importantly, our faculty engage students in the classroom and are available outside class hours for discussion, support and mentoring.

Small, interactive classes are central to the King’s experience. Classes at King’s are small by university standards as the average first year class has 50-60 students. This smaller class size fosters discussion where students and faculty can learn from one another.

King’s students are also Western students and have complete access to all the facilities and services at

Western University. King’s students graduate with a Western degree.

King’s students are required to take three courses at King’s. Courses not available at King’s may be taken at Western or the other University Colleges — Brescia or Huron. Most King’s students take some courses at Western during their degree program although students can complete their degrees entirely at King’s if they wish.

King’s stands second to no other institution of higher learning in the country, large or small, in the quality of its teaching faculty. Small classes, intensive student/faculty interaction, quality programs, comprehensive student services, and a sense of community create an excellent environment.

Think of the liberal arts as an academic program focused on a major subject area (for example, history, literature, psychology, etc.) that also provides a multi-disciplinary approach. When pursuing a degree in Management and Organizational Studies, Childhood and Social Institutions, Philosophy and Religious Studies, Social Work, or Sociology (just a few of the great programs at King’s), you’ll also be able to take courses in other programs as well. Of course, you’ll learn the subject matter in your own discipline, but you will also become an expert in how to think about your subject and about

learning, and how to apply this knowledge to the real world.

A liberal arts education will provide you with the fundamental skills necessary to think critically, acquire knowledge independently and communicate effectively.

King’s provides a small and supportive environment (both academically and socially) where you can gain valuable experience and develop your abilities as a leader and as a team player. A King’s education is designed to help you develop your strengths while allowing you the opportunity to discover new challenges. Our goal is to provide you with all the

tools necessary to pursue not only a rewarding career, but a meaningful life. At King’s, your liberal arts education will provide you with the tools and drive to be informed, active citizens committed to building a just society.

What is a liberal arts degree?Have you heard the term liberal arts and wondered what it meant?

As a Catholic university college, King’s is:• Very inclusive and welcomes students from all traditions and faiths.

• Diverse — our students represent every religious tradition, ethnicity, financial strata and every point of view.

• Committed to the importance of community, social justice, compassion for the disadvantaged, the dignity and empowerment of the human person, collegiality, civility and inclusiveness.

• A place where students are encouraged to examine their ideals, beliefs and strengths, from their head, heart and soul.

• An environment where people are connected to each other — intellectually, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.

• An academic community where individuals are challenged to find solutions, create understanding, pursue truth and contribute their gifts and talents to make a difference.

• A community where the safety, well-being and comfort of all students is paramount and reflected in its Student Code of Conduct and Residence Rules.

As a Catholic university college, King’s does not:• Require any mandatory course in religious studies although many

of our students take courses as a degree option or an elective (e.g., World Religions, The Theology of Marriage, or Violence and Western Religions).

• Require attendance at religious celebrations.

• Have a dress code.

King’s embraces the very best of the Catholic

intellectual tradition by calling all students to academic excellence

and personal and civic responsibility. We take

care of our students so that they can take on the

challenges of informed and engaged servant

leadership.Principal David Sylvester, PhD

first year programsArtsAll students in year one Arts take a range of courses from a variety of disciplines. They do not declare a major(s) until they have completed their first year. Please visit: www.kings.uwo.ca/future-students

Catholic Studies This program provides an in-depth examination of the theology that has developed within the Catholic tradition. Catholic Studies courses are designed to be taken by a range of students interested in understanding the ideas, values, images and rituals that have (and continue) to shape our world. The Catholic Studies degree modules are designed to provide the foundation necessary for those students who would like to teach religious education in Catholic schools, or who will pursue further degrees in theology or religious studies.

Catholic Studies for Teachers (CST) This program provides students with the opportunity to complete a BA (Honors) in Catholic Studies and another major of their choice with guaranteed admission to Western’s Faculty of Education to complete the Bachelor of Education (BEd). Students can be considered for either the Junior/Intermediate or Intermediate/Senior stream. In years two, three and four of the BA (Honors) or four-year BA program, students will complete Catholic Education courses which include curriculum and service learning in the Catholic school system. Students wishing to apply to this program will be considered on the basis of grades and a supplemental application.

English A range of degree possibilities are available. In addition to being exposed to a comprehensive range of British, Canadian and American literature, these programs provide an opportunity to explore literary creation and the human condition. Students will acquire finely-honed skills in the use of language, the ability to read analytically and critically as well as learn to appreciate literature in itself and in relation to other fields of study.

Foundations in the Humanities (KFH) The King’s Foundations in the Humanities (KFH) program is an enriched, first year plan of study which provides students with a comprehensive, interdisciplinary and critical survey of the development of western civilization from its birth in antiquity to our contemporary global multi-cultural world. KFH provides a collaborative approach to the study of the humanistic tradition in a small group setting with intensive faculty-student interaction. It is a competitive, limited enrolment program and students must submit a statement of interest explaining their reasons for wanting to join this program.

French A variety of degree options are available in French. A language laboratory affords you the opportunity to practice and further develop your ability to use the language through means of oral communication. In addition, the courses will enhance your knowledge of literature, linguistics and translation. Should they choose, students have the opportunity to spend their third year in Nice, France.

PhilosophyThroughout the ages, human beings have wondered about their place in the cosmos and its history. By asking important questions, we enrich our lives and add meaning to human existence. The Philosophy program is designed to introduce students to classic philosophical questions and leading philosophical thinkers.

Religious StudiesA degree in Religious Studies provides an opportunity to study such topics as the existence of God, the meaning of human freedom, sacred rituals and literature as well as the rich tradition of the Christian religious heritage and other religious traditions and their relationships with contemporary culture. A deeper understanding of the Christian vision or of other religious traditions can help you to form your own outlook on social, legal and ethical problems and help you to better understand those with whom you live and work.

World ReligionsIt is perhaps obvious that, in an increasingly multicultural environment, understanding the world’s religious traditions is more than ever required for us to better understand our similarities and differences. You need not be religious yourself to engage in this program, and you need not worry that your own religious tradition, if you have one, will be undermined. At King’s, all religious traditions are treated with equal respect and, in the World Religions program, treated with equal interest. In addition to a degree in World Religions, students may also chose a major in Jewish Studies or Islamic Studies.

What I like about King’sKing’s is a school that is truly for its students and I have had the most accommodating experience here. I love that King’s truly provides the best of both worlds. I am able to learn in an intimate yet intellectually stimulating environment and experience the dynamics of Western’s other campuses. It is so wonderful to be around a group of people who have a zest for life and education.

Getting connected. I think that the cornerstone of what King’s has to offer is that it is based on community. There are so many clubs here that enable students to connect with the student community and with London and the world. King’s Players, the drama company here, has introduced me to so many great people from varying walks of life and the Social Justice and Peace club has opened my eyes to global issues.

Chanelle Robinson | Year two Hometown: Toronto, OntarioProgram: Catholic Studies for TeachersHigh school: Cardinal Carter Academy for the Arts

How my program makes a differenceStudents at King’s are not treated as passive learners, rather, they’re encouraged to become junior scholars, asking the same probing questions and developing the same problem-solving skills as their professors.

Art, literature, music, philosophy, history, religious studies and the other traditional liberal arts have been an integral part of every human civilization. The study of these things has value because it connects us to and enriches fundamental aspects of our humanity. The value of that can’t be overstated: it’s not just about how to make a living, but how to make a life.

first year programs

What I like about King’sKing’s has a small campus but has all the advantages of a large university. The class sizes are small so you get more individual attention and get to know your profs. The importance of faith is not hidden but embraced on campus.

Getting connected. I have met a lot of people from all around the world and have made long-lasting friendships.

Jennifer Chisnall | Year two Hometown: Hamilton, BermudaProgram: Childhood and Social InstitutionsHigh school: Mount Saint Agnes Academy

How my program makes a differenceThe CSI program is interested in the discourses of childhood, childhood as structured by society, children’s voices and perspectives, children’s rights, and children’s experiences. Many students taking our course find the shift in perspective very rewarding. In addition, we train our honors students in research methods and techniques to enable them to carry out their own research on childhood in their fourth year of study. Many of our students go on to study at colleges of education. The unique perspective gained in CSI enhances their teaching education and their later practice in the classroom.

We also have many new and exciting developments in the CSI Program. We have an ongoing exchange program with Malmo University in Sweden, and a new exchange has been established at Leeds Metropolitan University, UK.

Childhood and Social Institutions (CSI)This program focuses on the subject of childhood from a range of different academic disciplines including, but not limited to: literature, history, psychology, sociology and religious studies. Topics such as the range of meanings of childhood, what competencies do children have, what rights and obligations do parents, educators, lawyers and journalists have to children and childhood are addressed within the program.

In first year, there is only one required course for the program. Students will be able to select their remaining courses from a range of disciplines.

What I like about King’sThere are a wide range of services available for students and you feel a sense of community living in residence.

Getting connected. King’s has various clubs/associations that help you get connected with other people – academically or socially. Apart from academics, I’ve been actively involved with a couple of clubs including the BMOS Club, Pakistani Student’s Association (PSA) and The Roundtable Society. I have also participated in intramural sports.

How my program makes a differenceThe King’s Management and Organizational Studies program develops graduates who are good at business and do good through business.

I honestly feel that business is the most important force in the world today and we as professors of business and management have a responsibility to teach our students how to do it the right way. In my opinion, there are two components to doing business the right way, and they are both related. The first component is that our students must understand the fundamentals of business and management to make sure they know how to make business profitable.

However, the second component reminds us that there is a line that must not be crossed in running a profitable business and that line is the one where the pursuit of profit leads to exploitation.

At King’s we teach students that the best way to do business is to manage for the long term. To develop and enhance resources, be they people or natural. We teach students this because it is simply good business.

Management and Organizational Studies (MOS)Students in year one MOS will take three required courses: Business, Economics and Math plus two additional courses. When progressing in year two of the BMOS program, students will be required to choose from a number of streams in Accounting, Global Commerce, Management and Organizational Studies, Organizational Studies and Human Resources or Finance and Administration.

Business Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility are integral to the MOS curriculum. Internships are available to students in all streams of MOS.

AccountingThis program will feature courses in financial and operation management, business law, Canadian taxation and international accounting. Students will earn degree credits toward their CA, CGA or CMA designations.

Global CommerceThis program is based closely on the Management and Organizational Studies program with diverse studies in both business and the social sciences. There is a more distinctive and detailed focus on international business in this stream. Students have the opportunity to study with King’s professors at partner universities in Brazil or China.

Finance & AdministrationThis program focuses on financial, economic and administrative theory with a social context. Courses include traditional business studies as well as a strong foundation in the social sciences. Finance & Administration can be combined with a Diploma in Accounting which is designed to enable students to complete the 51 credit hour requirement for the Chartered Accountancy practice and examinations.

Organizational & Human ResourcesThis program focuses on the functioning of organizations and their most important resources: their employees. Courses will examine how companies operate as well as the importance of human resource management and how it relates to the effectiveness within an organization.

first year programsSocial Justice and Peace Studies (SJPS)The Social Justice and Peace Studies program is designed for students who wish to expand their awareness of social justice and peace issues, develop critical research and analytical skills and become incisive change agents in their local community as well as globally. The program encourages critical reflection on structural injustices and conflict locally and globally in addition to calling for social action to transform the world in the interest of dignity, equality, sustainability and the pursuit of peace. Community service in one of a variety of local agencies is mandatory in second year and opportunities to participate in international awareness experiences for course credit is also available.

In year one, students will be required to complete one required first year course and select their remaining options from a range of disciplines.

What I like about King’sI would never imagine myself anywhere else but King’s. It is such a tight-knit community where everyone is respected. Most of all I love what King’s stands for — creating change.

Getting connected. King’s has given me so many opportunities to be involved in the community. In February, I traveled with King’s to Guatemala to learn and understand life, and the economic and political structures in other countries.

My service learning course encouraged me to find a volunteer placement. I have been working at the Women’s Community House where I have been exposed to women’s issues in the London area.

How King’s makes a differenceA Catholic liberal arts education is designed to help students develop intellectually, socially and personally. The people who work at King’s aim to inspire intellectual curiosity, confidence, and esteem in our students. Working with the Political Science Club and the King’s Debating Society as faculty advisor have been among my greatest joys. Highlights for the Political Science Club included a trip to the National Remembrance Day Ceremonies in Ottawa, a series of public lectures by internationally renowned scholars, fundraising and participation in the We Canada social movement for sustainable development, an interdisciplinary panel discussion on the Arab Spring, and a student-led roundtable on the Future of U.S. Foreign Policy.

Social SciencesAll students in year one Social Sciences take a range of courses from a variety of disciplines and do not declare a major(s) until the end of their first year.

Canadian StudiesThis program is designed to promote the study and understanding of Canada from a political, historical, cultural, social and economic perspective. The program encourages research about the multiple ways in which the Canadian identity is created and represented in history, literature, music, art, communications media and the landscapes of culture.

CriminologyThis program is the study of the institutions of social control and their criminalizing tendencies and the manner in which members of society interact with these systems creating patterns of criminality from street crimes to crimes of the powerful.

EconomicsEconomics students may pursue a range of degree options. At King’s, the study of economics achieves a balance between application and theory. Through their program, students will develop a better understanding of the many human and moral issues confronting our society and the material constraints involved in dealing with those issues.

Finance A major in finance is available to students who wish to pursue this career interest. Courses in business, management and organizational studies, mathematics and economics are included in this degree.

History History has been described as a humanizing discipline in that it enables us to get in touch with our past in order to help us understand how things came to be the way they are today. King’s offers a range of degree options in history.

Political Science Political science is one of the major social science disciplines. Among other things, political scientists study politics in Canada, political theory, international relations, comparative politics (the study of politics in different countries and regions of the world), and public administration/policy. A range of degree options in political science is available at King’s.

Psychology The discipline of psychology spans perhaps the broadest range of any academic discipline. Psychologists can be involved in examining brain processes, animal behaviour, human sexuality, language acquisition, cognitive processes and learning, creativity, consciousness, interpersonal relationships and psychological problems.

Sociology Sociology is often defined as the study of group life or the study of non-rational processes in social life or the study of social interaction. A range of degree options in sociology is available at King’s. The dominant theme within the department is the development of a sociologically sensitive understanding of the numerous and complex relationships among the structures of society on the one hand, and the achievement of human freedom and social justice on the other.

Thanatology (grief and bereavement studies; loss, change and transition) Thanatology (grief and bereavement studies; loss, change and transition) affects everyone at various points in a lifetime. This King’s program is a world leader and has earned a wonderful reputation for excellence and student-centredness.

What I like about King’sThe other students are friendly and the staff is very helpful!

Getting connected. The clubs that King’s offers are a great way for each student to make a difference in our city, or even a bigger change in the world! They allow students to discuss matters that affect them whether they be social, political or environmental. Every student is encouraged to join.

first year programsSocial WorkThe BSW (Honors) program at King’s University College is accredited by the Canadian Association of Social Work Educators (CASWE) and is intended to provide the first-level, professional, social work qualification. It adopts a direct service, generalist orientation.

Specific objectives of the program include education for social work practice with individuals, families, groups and communities emphasizing the social and organizational contexts of practice.

The King’s School of Social Work also offers a Master of Social Work (MSW).

What I like about King’sKing’s is a real community in that it is close-knit and yet the atmosphere also allows students to access services from the main campus. In short, it’s the best of both worlds.

Getting connected. Through my time in the Social Work program, I have grown both professionally and personally. I have had the opportunity to meet and work with many amazing people who have all influenced my life in a variety of ways. I like to think that I have been able to take small lessons away from everyone I’ve met that I will carry with me as I continue to build connections and relationships with individuals in the London community.

making a difference around the worldInternationalization and international study options at King’s

1. Talk to students from across the world. Over 10% of King’s students are international students from over 35 nations. What better way to get connected globally? The students’ home countries include: Aruba, Australia, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bermuda, Brazil, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Trinidad, U.K., U.S.A., U.A.E. among others.

2. Join a club, go to hear a speaker, join a discussion forum or be an international peer mentor. Events are offered by the Centre for Social Concern, Centre for Studies in Creativity, the Religious Life Committee and other clubs and groups.

3. What would it be like to study British history in the U.K., French literature in Nice, languages in Germany, culture in Korea, marketing in China, business in Japan, technology innovation in Brazil, social work in Scotland or politics in Australia? Participate in an Exchange Program abroad and in Canada. Instead of just reading about new places, experience them first-hand while earning credits for your degree and paying your fees at King’s. King’s provides an International Study Award of $100 - $2,000 to make this dream a reality! Last year, over 300 students participated in an exchange ranging from three weeks to 12 months in the following countries: Bosnia, Brazil, China, Costa Rica, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, France, Ghana, Guatemala, Hong Kong, India, Korea, Lebanon, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, South Africa, Sweden, Thailand, U.K., U.S.A., and the Ukraine.

4. How would you like to make a difference? Volunteer with a charitable or non-governmental organization (NGO), such as Intercordia Canada, Canada World Youth, World Vision, Global Volunteer, One World Education and Save A Family, amongst others, while participating in a course. You will gain incredible

insight and experience while earning a credit towards your degree.

5. Learn another language in an immersion program. Opportunities await in Holguin (Cuba), Trois-Pistoles (Quebec) and Nice (France). Some programs are a full year while others are short, intensive programs in the spring/summer term.

6. Experience another culture in another country. Sponsored by our university partners in Korea, King’s students study and tour for six weeks in this ancient culture and thriving economy.

7. Brazil is one of the most technologically and environmentally advanced nations in the world. Take a commercial mission and visit industry and government for credit and experience.

8. Students can study for a short term (four to six weeks) at our university partners in China, Korea and Sweden. Courses include Finance, Economics, Organizational Behaviour, Management and Organizational Behaviour, and Childhood and Social Institutions.

9. Social Work students have a range of international opportunities including exchanges with Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico in Mexico City, the Cuernavaca Centre for International Dialogue on Development (Mexico) and the University of Costa Rica. Planning for partnerships at institutions in Scotland and China is now underway. Within a diverse Canadian culture and amidst growing globalization, social workers must be culturally sensitive and aware of global issues.

King’s is a leader in internationalization. We believe that a critical part of a university education is an awareness and understanding of global issues and a variety of cultures. What better way to make a difference?

For more information please visit: kings.uwo.ca/current-students/international/

The range of opportunities for international experiences continues to grow. King’s students may choose from a variety of ways to become more globally aware and engaged.

I have been connected to King’s University College

since I came here as a student in the late 80s. It was then, and continues

to be, a place that nourishes both my mind and my heart. I continue

to be strengthened and challenged in my faith and to live with

authenticity. Father Michael Bechard,

Chaplain and King’s grad ’91

Financing your university education can be a challenge. King’s recognizes this challenge and is able to provide support and a variety of services to assist our students.

• Leadership opportunities abound in Student Council, Residence Council, academic program positions, student clubs and organizations.

• Volunteerism is a big part of the King’s student experience. Our Volunteer Bureau can help you find the right place to make your difference. Volunteering contributes to the common good, develops skills, creates friendships, identifies mentors and enhances self-esteem — all while making the world a better place.

• Contribute your gifts to enhance the spiritual, cultural, political, intellectual and musical activities of King’s.

• Use your athletic prowess in varsity or intramural sports — or play pick-up basketball, run with a friend or meet new friends at the gym or in a fitness class.

• Volunteer as a peer guide for our new students, new scholars and new international students.

• Work as a tutor for writing, ESL, French, math or economics, or become a research assistant for a professor.

Live in the heart of the university experience.King’s residence offers more than just a convenient place to stay on campus; it is committed to the values of diversity, respect and academic achievement.

Residence is guaranteed to all first year students who receive an early offer of admission and return their residence application by the required deadline. No lotteries — no worries.

Residence is provided to approximately 350 students in three different building styles.

A convenient and free shuttle bus service runs between King’s and the other campuses at Western, allowing for easy access to the academics, athletics and other clubs and activities available to you.

Academic programming and support is also a part of residence. Internet access is available in all residence rooms and wireless access is offered in the residence lounges and study rooms. Quiet hours are in place to ensure an environment that will allow for sleep and studying but still allow for fun and engagement. Upper-year students volunteer as Peer Academic Leaders to provide academic support to first year resident students when needed. Additional learning support services and tutoring are available through our Student Services department in the Wemple Building.
