King's College

Overview

King's College is a private Catholic institution located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1946 by the Congregation of Holy Cross, it began as an independent four-year college for men, aiming to provide a liberal education rooted in Catholic values. Its initial mission was to address the educational needs of returning war veterans and the sons of coal miners in the post-World War II era.

The college offers a broad range of undergraduate and graduate programs with an emphasis on liberal arts education. Over time, academic offerings have expanded to include master's degrees in fields such as finance, reading, and healthcare administration. King's College is known for its commitment to social issues and community engagement, with initiatives supporting urban renewal and mental health awareness. Continuous campus development, including new facilities, enhances the student experience.
