School Notes:
  • King College was founded in 1867 by Presbyterians who resolved to create a College of "such high order as will greatly elevate the standard of classical and scientific instruction in East Tennessee." King is an independently governed institution with covenant affiliations to the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and the Evangelical Presbyterian Church. Consistent with its historic motto Ecclesiae et Litteris (For the Church and For Learning), the Christian character of the College is expressed in a program intentionally built on a foundation of the classic Presbyterian tradition, the authority of Scripture, and personal commitment to Jesus and His service.
  • The College is committed to a regional, national, and international constituency. King College strives to enrich the collegiate experience and broaden its service by having an ethnically and geographically diverse student body. Applicants are accepted into the College upon evidence of academic qualifications and are admitted without regard for ethnic or religious background.
  • King College confers five degrees: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and Master of Business Administration. Requirements for these degrees are based upon the completion of general education requirements, the fulfillment of requirements in a major concentration, and the completion of sufficient electives to make a total of 124 semester hours. This work must be completed with a minimum King College grade point average of 2.0. Nursing majors must complete a total of 125 semester hours of credit with a minimum grade point average of 2.4. Students majoring in Behavioral Science with teacher licensure must complete a total of 131 semester hours of credit with a minimum grade point average of 2.5.
  • King College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The Nursing program is approved by the Tennessee Board of Nursing and is a member of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing and accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education.
  • Students at King enjoy a wide variety of outdoor activities, such as water sports and fishing on local lakes and streams, snow skiing, and hiking on the Appalachian Trail in nearby North Carolina. Trips to local theatres, restaurants, and sporting events are popular ways to pass free time as well.
