Out of an abundance of caution, and following CDC recommendations for vulnerable populations regarding COVID-19, King has suspended the Lifelong Learners program until Fall 2022. In early summer 2022, we will reevaluate for the Fall semester.
King University offers a select set of collegiate courses for adults aged 60 and over. Adult learners audit non-credit classes at King’s main campus in Bristol, Tennessee, free of charge.
Courses are taught by King professors in the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Health & Professional Sciences. The courses cover a range of subjects including history, literature, Bible, theatre, photography, intelligence studies, politics, biology, criminal justice, English, fine arts, religion, philosophy, mathematics, and music.
By auditing the selected courses, adult students will be able to attend class without the worry of taking tests, while learning alongside traditional students in the classroom.
Lifelong Learners must enroll before classes start each semester. Requests to enroll late will only be considered under special circumstances.
Note: Books are not required for classes, but can optionally be purchased at books.king.edu or most online book retailers.

Lifelong Learner Student Status: King University is a Christian university with a distinct purpose. Admission to King university is granted on a non-degree student basis when a student is not pursuing a degree from King University and desires to enroll in a limited number of semester hours.
