Interregnum
Every spring semester The King’s College takes time out from regular classes to spend time on a single intellectual theme of both philosophical depth and current public importance. Past topics have been “God, War, and Terrorism,” “Building a Christian Worldview,” “How to Win Elections,” “Secularism,” “Trust,” “Difficulty,” and “Civilization.”

Guest speakers have included sociologist and Lutheran theologian, Peter Berger; sociologist of religion and culture, Christian Smith; chairman of the board of directors of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), Alan Kors; founder and editor of First Things, Father Richard John Neuhaus; and Princeton University Law Professor Robert George .

Participation Policy
Normal classes are set aside for Interregnum and attendance is taken at all sessions (which may be scheduled throughout the day and evening hours). Students are advised to make the necessary arrangements with work and family in order to be present at these events. Student participation in this non-credit-bearing requirement is graded on a pass/fail basis. Full time students who fail to attend the minimum number of sessions will be required to write a research paper and prepare an oral presentation exploring the themes of the lectures given. Part time students must attend for at least the time during which they would normally have been in class. Absences from these sessions earn the same penalty as an absence from a regular class.
