Established in 1867, King is a Presbyterian-affiliated, doctoral-level comprehensive university serving the Southeast and beyond.

Modeled as a small university, King cultivates an environment of academic excellence where scholarship, stewardship, and faith are integrated. The University's mission is preparing students in our Christian academic community to excel as thoughtful, resourceful, and responsible citizens with a passion for serving God, the Church, and the world.

We encourage students to participate in activities that help them develop and mature on social, intellectual, and spiritual levels. The result is a dynamic community with a broad view of the world, sharpened professional acumen, and commitment to serving others.

The University offers more than 90 majors, minors, and pre-professional programs, and confers degrees in two-year, four-year, and graduate-level programs.
