Uncovering the intricate and wide-ranging relationships between organisms and their environments is at the heart of studying biology. At King’s, the biology program guides you to a deeper understanding of the complexity of life, in all its forms, so that you will become a better steward of creation.

Through laboratory experience and hands-on research in the field, students in the biology program study wild and wonderful creatures in their natural habitats, and gain insight into the mechanisms of human health and genetics. Biology students at King’s conduct research in the Rocky Mountains, analyze DNA in our biochemistry lab, and study plant life in our campus greenhouse. From human anatomy to molecular biology, King’s biology program digs deep into the inner workings of life in God’s creation.

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.

A central task of philosophy is to criticize and examine to discover truth. Philosophy students at King's dig into valid and invalid forms of reasoning, seek to understand major developments in the history of Western political thought, wrestle with the theory of knowledge, and much more.
