King's College (New York City)
The King's College is a small Christian institution of higher education, founded by Percy Crawford in 1938. The campus is located in Manhattan, New York, primarily in the Empire State Building.
The namesake of The King's College is not to be confused with the two temporal kings after whom Columbia University was originally named, when the latter was known as King's College, between the years of 1754 and 1784. The reference is to Jesus Christ, as the eternal King.
About the college
The King's College offers two majors, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics; and a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management.
TKC provides housing at a high-rise apartment complex that features a 24-hour concierge service, located on the same block as the Empire State Building.
All students are divided into houses, which meet on a weekly basis in order to help each member grow spiritually. Upper-classmen can assume leadership roles within their house, taking the role of President, Chamberlain, Vicar, or Scholar. Each house is also assigned two faculty/staff members to serve as a liaison between the house leadership and the house advisory board.
Houses are named after historic leaders. Current houses include:
- House of C. S. Lewis
- House of Clara Barton
- House of Dietrich Bonhoeffer
- House of Elizabeth I
- House of Margaret Thatcher
- House of Ronald Reagan
- House of Sojourner Truth
