Religious Preference or Affiliation
All King’s faculty and staff are confessing Christians, but we have an open admissions policy for students and do not require you to sign any kind of statement of faith. This field helps us to better understand the religious background you are coming from, if any.

Area of Interest
Choose from a dropdown listing different fields of study. The King’s College offers nine majors that prepare students for a variety of different careers. This field will help us match you with the majors at King’s that best fit your goals. For example, we don’t have a Political Science major, but students interested in that field may consider our signature Politics, Philosophy, and Economics major, which provides strong preparation for a lifetime of leadership.

Detailed Area of Interest
Like the dropdown above, this helps to specify the area you’re interested in. Maybe you’re thinking about Communications but you really enjoy Creative Writing. Use this dropdown to help us understand a little more about what you’re looking for. If you’re undecided, no problem. Many students are exploring options at this stage.

From here on, you will answer “Yes” or “No” questions:

Are you interested in applying Early Action?
If you apply Early Action and submit your deposit by December 15, you’ll receive an expedited financial aid package. You’ll also be first in line to register for classes, apply for housing, and have exclusive opportunities to connect with the King’s community in the fall and spring semesters. Early Action is not binding but indicates that you are serious about attending King’s.

Other Colleges You Are Applying To

Let us know what other colleges you’re considering. You can simply list the names of the institutions.

List any activities/organizations you have participated in (i.e. extra curricular, volunteer, hobbies, etc.)

Two pro tips: If you’ve been super involved you can feel free to list those activities/organizations that are most important to you or where you’ve held leadership positions. For your King’s application, we’re looking for quality over quantity. Also, we recommend keeping a list of this information on a separate document that you can copy and paste into each application, since many colleges ask for this information.
