Field Courses & Study Abroad Programs

University of King's College

King’s prides itself on its interdisciplinary programs in humanities and journalism as well as being known as a living and learning community on and off campus. King’s field courses take that literally. Students can expand their learning and their perspectives with optional international electives in Florence or Berlin, or here at home at a Mi’kmaw First Nation. And, in association with Dalhousie, King’s students are eligible for multiple study abroad and exchange opportunities.
