King's University College is a Catholic, co-educational liberal arts college affiliated with the University of Western Ontario. In the history of education, the seven liberal arts comprise two groups of studies, the trivium and the quadrivium. ...

It was founded as the "College of Christ the King" in 1954, and was affiliated with St. Peter's Seminary. The name was changed to King's College in 1966 after it became affiliated with UWO; unlike Brescia and Huron, UWO's other affiliated colleges, King's did not initially adopt the "University College" name, to avoid confusion with the university of the same name in Edmonton.

The Kings University College is a degree-granting institution offering Christian university education, located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. ... Edmonton is the capital of the Canadian province of Alberta, situated in the central region of the province, an area with some of the most fertile farm land on the prairies. ...


The current name for campus was adopted in 2004. King's has approximately 4000 students, almost all of whom are undergraduates. Students living in residences on campus number approximately 400, and many others live in houses or apartments quite close to the school.


The college's library is named after Gerald Emmett Cardinal Carter, formerly Bishop of London. Gerald Emmett Cardinal Carter (March 1, 1912 - April 6, 2003) was the Archbishop of Toronto. ... The Roman Catholic Diocese of London, Ontario was created out of the Diocese of Toronto, along with the Diocese of Hamilton, Ontario, by Pope Pius IX on February 21, 1856. ...


Programs offered at King's are described fully on the school's website, made available below. Although there is a heavy emphasis on undergraduate studies, there is also a part-time graduate program in social work.
