Social Work

When considering Pre-Professional studies, it is important to understand King’s does not offer Professional Programs (other than the Bachelor of Education After Degree). We offer transfer opportunities into professional programs. This ranges from select course transfers (minimum) to a full undergraduate degree for admission (maximum) to another university. 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.

After beginning your degree at King's, you can transfer to your choice of the following universities:
