While I must say, my time at King has not been easy. The online Bachelor of Science Communications program is well above par to say the least. After a two year hiatus from school (after my Associates degree), I went back to school during the Covid-19 pandemic and have been able to have academic success while working full time.

King University was all around a great school. Between my student counselor, advisor and professors, I was extremely impressed. While in the COMM Program, I didn't have any issues with professors. It felt like they were made to be in the roles they are in, they have compassion for helping their students and made sure to get back in touch and help.

I want to express my appreciation for one of my professors in particular. Joshua Loebner was excellent in answering any questions I had throughout the course and always replied with clear, concise answers to any problem I was having. His COMM2500 visual rhetoric course taught me design strategies that I now use in the real world every single day.

My time at King College has been the most rewarding experience to date. Having attended another university before, I could not be more pleased with the education I have received. The COMM professors provided solid content in a thorough and informative manner; their instruction made the material enjoyable to learn! Although the University has religi

I have been in the Communication program at King University for 2 years. I have loved the deep connections I have made wit my professors and my peers. The 5 week class program has helped me learn and retain information at a rate I did not think was possible. All the staff are friendly and want you to succeed. I would recommend King for any student.

I can honestly say that my time at King University has been amazing. As a full-time online student, I cannot rave enough about how flexible King has been for me. While attending King, I have moved to three different states and started a family. The knowledge and life skills that I have learned will stick with me forever.

I am currently in my final semester at King University. I took roughly a year off after high school before attending another university for about a year. However, like many kids, I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do with my life and didn't just want to be in college, just for the sake of being in college taking a bunch of classes that I had no

The nursing program at this school is terrible. It costs 100% more than other universities and you DO NOT get what you pay for here. The Dean of the nursing program doesn't care about the students, alumni, or program. She was always a no-show when we voiced concerns.

I sincerely regret my decision to enroll here. The professors lack helpfulness, the curriculum is of poor quality, and overall, it falls short of being a good educational institution. I wouldn't advise anyone to attend here; I urge you to explore other options

The price vs. service is terrible. The cost is tremendous and the quality of instruction and accessibility of resources is no better than any other college. I definitely would not be going here if I had time to commute elsewhere. In the end, you get the same paper (degree) as everyone else but you will be left owing more than everyone else.

Way past its prime. Campus security is bad. The buildings, including the dorms are run down. There are no activities to speak of. The cafeteria is abysmal. The school doesn't have a student health center. I never saw any of the administration visible on campus. It's just slowly decaying. A few teachers are far better than this school deserves.

Its in a small town in the middle of nowhere with a meth problem. If your from here you probably think this is the greatest school on earth. If your from a city/suburban area you'll be in the slums. Literally next to a landfill that you will smell constantly. They accept anybody though gg glhf

This school is awful. It is way too expensive and way too strict... Some of the rules are just ridiculous( even for a Christian school). The Wi-Fi sucks... Hardly anything works.... SAVE MONEY AND TIME BY GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE

I would not recommend King University to a friend. Beware of template courses.

Most unfriendly staff, internet does not work most of the time, the bricks on the walkways are coming up, financial aid is a complete joke. This school is so expensive and overrated. I do NOT recommend King at all.
