King's General Business program is a professional program designed to expose students to a wide breadth of business principles and practices. Students graduate prepared to tackle real-world business challenges and with a wide variety of skills employers are looking for.

Out of the five streams available to students in King's business program, the General Business stream provides the most flexibility. Students are able to choose from any of King's business courses and incorporate more courses from other disciplines. This makes it an excellent choice for students unsure of which direction they plan on proceeding in after graduation. Course selection varies widely depending on a student’s area of interest but may include a global learning experience at one of our partner business schools in Asia, Europe, or Africa.

It is becoming increasingly important for business leaders to consider environmental impacts when making business decisions. As the need for better environmental stewardship and taking actionable steps to address climate change becomes evident, a growing number of students want to combine their passion for environmental issues with good business practices. This stream lets you pursue both. In addition to selecting courses that prepare students to make sustainable business decisions, students in the Environmental Management stream are encouraged to take Environmental Studies and Geography courses that explore questions and problems related to environmental sustainability. 

Students in this stream can expect to be prepared for work in areas of environmental planning, global development, and other careers related to Christian ministry or justice issues.

Non-profits and voluntary organizations employ 12 percent of Canada’s workforce and contribute $75.9 billion to the nation’s economy. These numbers continue to grow as business approaches are being used to talk about social issues like poverty or the environment. This means there is an increasing demand for business graduates in this sector. Students who choose this stream could get jobs as government policy analysts or sustainability specialists.

English provides a foundation for reading, analysis, and self-expression. It's essential for accurate, precise communication in all walks of life. We are committed to a Christian worldview: if we want to transform the world, we have to begin by transforming the mind. English teaches you how to read circumstances and people, to place the stories of the day in the wider context of culture's greatest stories. It prepares you to read critically and write clearly with the precision of a scalpel and creativity of an artist.

Business, journalism, political service, public relations, teaching--English lays the foundation for jobs in both public and private sectors. As Percy Bysshe Shelley once argued, poets (and, may we add, English majors) are the "unacknowledged legislators of the world." In other words, stories have power.

Open up the potential of your historical imagination. What might it have been like to live in London during the darkest days of World War II? How might the first years of European encounters with the First Peoples of North America have felt? Engage with incredible stories of how humans lived, fought, and thought in times and places very different from our own. 

History is a fantastic program for those who want to understand the depth and complexity of life. It provides students with a deeper understanding of modern day conflicts, ideas, and assumptions about the world. Through reading, research, and critical writing, students develop and refine their ability to think critically, creatively, and imaginatively. Graduates of the history program become more sensitive to the nature of cultural formation and are able to apply their understanding of the past to work and life.

Program Highlights

• Study a varied curriculum including courses in British, European, American, Canadian, Russian, and world history.
• Carry out independent research using primary sources under the direct supervision of a faculty member.
• Specialize in thematic areas such as the Atlantic World, war and peace, environmental history, and the history of Christianity.

99% of all businesses in the world employ less than 20 workers, and the majority of these small businesses are family-owned. Many of these firms are started by entrepreneurs, people who the Canadian government says are the driving force that bring “innovations to market, launch novel industries, and create high-paying jobs.”  If you want to start your own business, join a family firm, or work for a small company, then this stream is for you.
