Leder School of Business

The Leder School of Business at The King's University opened on September 25, 2014 thanks to $12 million in donations from four families. While new, the business school has built on the foundations of the B.Com. program which has existed since 2000.

While the Leder School of Business offers a similar program to B.Com. degrees found at other post-secondary institutions, its uniqueness is the integration of faith into class discussions. Students are encouraged and challenged to incorporate their faith into all aspects of their studies and into their career plans. This often leads to students pursuing careers that not only focus on financial goals but on finding ways to benefit society.

In addition to course offerings, the Leder School of Business offers a wide number of extra-curricular options including mentorships, competitions, conferences, practica, guest speakers, international study trips and executive education.
