The humanities help us recognize that our pursuits shouldn’t benefit just a few amongst us—they must create a future reflecting and embodying the shared values and ideals of many. That takes informed conversations. The humanities provide a strong educational foundation for the professional work force we collectively need.
Right now, there is also increased professional demand for foundational skills such as critical thinking, social perceptiveness, active listening, clear writing and complex problem solving. Well-rounded students become flexible and adaptable global citizens who are prepared to build a bright future for themselves and society.
A new public humanities program will offer undergraduate fellowships based on scholarship standing. The fellowships provide target job placements applying your knowledge and skills in different workplaces over multiple summers.
Journalism workshops are taught in campus newsrooms and you’ll complete an internship before graduating. King’s journalism professors and your internship mentors are professional, award-winning journalists.
Co-op opportunities exist through our partnership with Dalhousie University and the King’s/Dalhousie shared College of Arts & Science.
You can conveniently get a part-time job on campus, building your network and gaining transferable employment skills. As an employer, King’s offers flexibility to accommodate your studies.
