Overview
King University is a Presbyterian-affiliated university in Bristol, Tennessee, in the mountainous Tri-Cities region on the Virginia border. It combines a traditional residential undergraduate campus with a substantial slate of online and regional-site degree programs serving working adults.
Academics
Nursing is the largest and most defining program, feeding directly into the region's hospital systems, alongside business and pharmacy-track pathways. Many majors are also offered in accelerated online formats, reflecting the university's dual identity as both a traditional college and an adult-completion institution.
Campus & student life
The traditional campus sits in the scenic mountains of the Tri-Cities, with a small residential community and Presbyterian-affiliated campus ministry alongside a much larger population of online and regional-site students who rarely visit campus.
Getting in
Admission to the traditional undergraduate program is personal and accessible; nursing carries its own competitive internal progression standards regardless of overall admission ease.
After graduation
Nursing graduates are a significant source of staffing for hospital systems across the Tri-Cities region of Tennessee, Virginia, and North Carolina.
