“I decided to come to King because of the small community environment. I was excited to have lasting, meaningful relation-ships with my professors, and the campus itself is beautiful and has a lot to offer.”

Sarah Jessee (‘09)Nursing MajorGray, Tennessee

Apply your knowledge through hands-on appl icat ion with programs on and of f campus. You might go as near as the King Forest to work on a sc ience project or as far as the United Kingdom to explore the works of famed authors.

At King, we want our students to understand their place in the larger

community. One of the ways we do this is by encourag-

ing students to participate in domestic and international travel opportunities, allowing them to combine study

with hands-on experiences. These trips include critical examination of the cultural, societal, economic, and reli-

gious characteristics of the places we visit.

Dr. Errol Rohr and Dr. Ray Bloomer with students in New Orleans, Louisiana

See the world with a wide range of domestic and international travel opportunities extending from China to Ireland, available as early as your f irst semester.

Broaden your knowledge of other cultures by experiencing them, rather than just reading about them in a book. And we do more than tell you what to pack - faculty and staff often accompany students on trips. Join the more than 25 percent of traditional undergraduate students who travel each year on study abroad, spring break, mission, and community service trips.

Study abroad in the Tuscan village of Montepulciano, Italy, where you will learn about western culture, language, history, art, and literature with King College professors. Choose from courses such as early church history and existential philosophy and attend classes daily to earn credit.

f o r e x p e r i e n c e

Dr. Tracy Parkinson with study abroad students in Paris

“When King College goes abroad, we, as faculty, hope to do something more than just take a trip with students. We want students to experience a place and culture rather than simply observing or passing through. In other words, when we travel with King students – we want to go alongside them, rather than just send them; we don’t want students to just `go there,’ we want them to `be there.’”

Dr. Tracy ParkinsonDean of Faculty

Our teacher education licensure programs incorporate f ield experiences across the curriculum - helping you confirm your choice of major and def ine potential career options. In addition, your preparation will culminate with a professional semester of student teaching during which you’ll put all you’ve learned into practice.

“King has a great reputation, so it is easier to get a teaching position. King College continuously turns out great teachers, and school systems are aware of this. I benefited most from the hands-on experiences I received. Teaching is completely different when you get out into the field to try out all the theories you learned in the classroom. The course work is challenging, but when I look back, I realize that those times prepared me for the work force.”

Jeff Mustard, AlumnusSocial Studies Teacher, Tennessee High SchoolBristol, Tennessee

“King College faculty members take their roles as academic advisors very seriously. The School of Education is no exception. As early as the first semester, we help students create four-year plans for completing their educational programs. Early conversations about majors and minors offer students the time to explore and to think about their varied interests. These days it is critical to craft an educational program that is marketable, so it is very common for our students to major in one thing and add an additional endorsement or minor in something totally different or craft their own major so they can be prepared for the careers they choose. Attention to planning makes this work.”
