Building on a legacy of excellence
From the very first biology courses offered at the university in 1979, academic quality has been a core priority for science education at The King's University. Since then, King's has developed numerous programs across the sciences and undergraduate research is a particular strength of the science programs at King's. Faculty are active scholars and intentionally build in opportunities for student involvement.
