The University of King's College is a public liberal arts university in Halifax, Nova Scotia.[5] Established in 1789, it is the oldest chartered university in Canada, and the oldest English-speaking university in the Commonwealth outside of the United Kingdom.[6] The university is regarded for its Foundation Year Program (FYP), an undergraduate curriculum designed to comprehensively study a variety of intellectual developments—past and present—through great books and ideas.[7] It is also known for its upper-year interdisciplinary programs, particularly in contemporary studies, early modern studies, and the history of science and technology. In addition, the university has a journalism school that attracts students from across the world for its intensive graduate programs in journalism, writing, and publishing.[8][9]
The university was founded by royal charter in Windsor, Nova Scotia as the King's Collegiate School in 1788, but the school moved to its current location in Halifax after a fire destroyed a large portion of the original university in 1920.[6][10] The relocation was made possible with the help of Dalhousie University, which has since maintained a joint Faculty of Arts and Sciences with King's. As a result, this has provided students at King's with full access to Dalhousie’s facilities and services. Furthermore, students from King’s and Dalhousie can enroll in courses offered at either institution as both campuses are located adjacent to each other. Despite this academic partnership, the University of King's College remains independent under its own charter.[11]
