How Do I Choose My Area of Study?

Deciding what you are going to study can be a little intimidating. While some students know precisely what career they want to choose and the best path to get there, and other students have no idea where to even start to answer those questions. If you know the area of study you want to take, look at the table below, which shows our programs by area of discipline. If you need some more explanation of what a Major, Minor, First or Second Concentrations are, take a look at the links below.

All students choose a major (4-year degree) or a first concentration (3-year degree) when pursuing a bachelor degree.   Minors A secondary field of study chosen by a student upon which a larger portion of their classions are focused (less than their major). Choosing a minor is optional but offers the opportunity to study more extensively in your second area of interest and broaden the application of your degree.                   Pre-Professional Studies The advantage of taking Pre-Professional studies at King's is learning in a faith-based community with small class sizes, dealing with personable, helpful professors and creating a foundation for continuing study at another university.   Music After-Degrees, Diplomas, Certificates In addition to our B.A. Music and Bachelor of Music degrees, King's offers several other opportunities to study music in our diploma and certificate programs.
