Program details
Overview
The English program at The King's University is offered as a four-year or three-year Bachelor of Arts, or as a minor, delivered on campus in Edmonton. Coursework emphasizes literary analysis and creative writing alongside the practical application of writing and language skills, with students examining narrative, figures of speech, and other conventions used by poets, playwrights, and other authors to understand how meaning is constructed in texts. Students have access to a dedicated creative-writing student society and student publications, and faculty in the department research areas including literary history, contemporary fiction, and ecological themes in literature. The program follows general university admission requirements. It is designed for students who want strong analytical and communication skills applicable to careers such as teaching, journalism, law, publishing, or ESL instruction, and suits those interested in both close reading of literature and their own creative writing practice.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:60.00 / %
Admission Requirements: This program does not carry an additional subject prerequisite on King's program-specific requirements page, so admission runs on the university's general requirements: English 30-1 (or equivalent), three standard Grade 12 courses, one additional standard or non-standard Grade 12 course, and an overall Grade 12 average of 60% or higher. King's operates non-competitive admission, so applicants meeting these minimums can expect an offer. International applicants must satisfy King's English Language Proficiency Requirement: IELTS Academic overall 6.5 with at least 5.5 on every band, or TOEFL iBT overall 88 with at least 21 on every section (Pearson PTE 59, CAEL 70, or Duolingo 115 overall/95 per section are also accepted), unless exempted by three years of full-time study in English.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants to The King's University apply directly to the university: for Fall 2026 entry applications opened October 1, 2025 with a regular deadline of June 15, 2026 and a document deadline of September 30, 2026, while Winter 2027 entry opened February 1, 2026 with a regular deadline of December 2, 2026 and a document deadline of January 30, 2027. International applicants follow the same intakes but with an early, reduced-fee deadline ahead of the regular one - April 15, 2027 for Fall 2027 and October 16, 2026 for Winter 2027 - to allow time for study-permit processing, alongside the shared regular deadlines above. King's states it may accept applications after its stated deadlines on inquiry, so admission functions as rolling rather than strictly firm. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
