Students have access to a comprehensive resource library, and receive information and guidance on the latest career internet sites. It is expected that once students have learned how to make informed career decisions that they will be able to reapply and refine these skills throughout their lifetimes. Since career planning at King's begins in the first year, there are plenty of opportunities for individual counseling. The Core Curriculum of King's College is designed for all students, regardless of major. Central to all undergraduate degrees at King's, it lays the foundation for a liberal education that will be reinforced in the major program.
Core courses provide a common educational experience.
Core courses are broadly based so that fundamental human issues and problems can be approached from diverse viewpoints represented by a variety of disciplines. This emphasis on breadth offers students the opportunity to become familiar with different methodologies and to see the unity of knowledge rather than viewing it as unrelated pieces of information. The required Core courses are divided into nine categories, several of which mandate sequencing of courses, thus providing greater depth than would be possible in many general education programs. Core courses initiate the college-level development of these skills, which are further refined in courses required in major programs.
