The curriculum is designed to expose students to fundamental works — in philosophy, history, literature, drama, and the natural and social sciences — that continue to shape the world today. The intensive and immersive structure of the program equips students with the necessary critical thinking and communication skills needed to excel in their academic work.

The university’s programs in journalism combine a well-rounded humanities education with the crafts of print, digital, and broadcast journalism. The Contemporary Studies Programme (CSP) takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of social and political thought in the contemporary world. The Early Modern Studies Programme (EMSP) provides an interdisciplinary examination of the thought and culture of the sixteenth to early-nineteenth centuries. The History of Science and Technology Programme (HOST) offers a truly interdisciplinary approach to the study of the ever-changing interactions between society and scientific knowledge and practice.King’s is affiliated with neighboring research-intensive university, Dalhousie University, through the joint College of Arts and Science and the joint Master of Journalism and Master of Fine Arts in Creative Non-Fiction programs. King’s students have full access to Dalhousie’s facilities and services.
