University Facts and Statistics: University of King's College |
Founded by Anglican Loyalists who escaped to Nova Scotia during the American revolution and originally located in Windsor, Nova Scotia before moving to Halifax after a massive fire destroyed the original campus, the University of King’s College was the first institution of higher learning in English Canada. Since 1923, the University of King’s College and Dalhousie University share the same campus and the two schools are affiliated through an amalgamated Faculty of Arts and Social Science and Faculty of Science. Students in either of these Faculties are students of both universities simultaneously, and when it comes to programs within these Faculties both schools share the same academic, admission, and degree-completion requirements and fee structure. Moreover, undergraduate degrees in these Faculties earned at the University of King’s College are granted by Dalhousie University but are specified as being degrees of the former and are handed out at the former’s own graduation ceremony known as the 'Encaenia.'
