REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingKing's gives you a very well-rounded education. The professors are always available for help or advice.
Lee Ann from Reading, PA
If you don't want to be just a number, instead you want to have a name and a say then King's is great for you. King's has a small campus where your professors know you by name and you can have one on one time with them for help and any questions you may have. King's has a wide array of different things to offer each and every student.
Jacqueline from Riverhead, NY
King's College is unconventional and will teach me things I never thought I would learn. It's a great learning institution with compassionate and amiable professors. The classes are challenging while simultaneously mutually stimulating.
Brittny from Luzerne, PA
King's will give you a well rounded education rather than one you would get at say a technical school.
Phillip from Hallstead, PA
The Mass Communications Department has taught me a lot in my first year and I cannot wait to see what they have in-store for the next three years. This school also has a great Athletic Training Program, Business Program, and Physicians Assistants Program.
