University of King's College

The University of King's College, Canada's oldest chartered university, is a small but extraordinarily lively academic community located in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It is known nationally & internationally for its interdisciplinary programs in the humanities & journalism.

King's has a long & rich history. It was founded by United Empire Loyalists, some of whom had strong connections with the old King's College of New York (after the Revolution, the old King's became Columbia University). The Loyalist founders created a small but influential Anglican university in Windsor, Nova Scotia in 1789.
