Currently The King's University College has over 630 students enrolled in Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Education programs. The King's accepts academically qualified students of all faiths into its programs. Thanks to the University College's size, classes are relatively small and students are able to interact on a personal level with professors. Students also have the opportunity to participate in faculty research projects. In recent years, The King's commitment to a culture of research has resulted in a number of student presentations at national and international academic conferences, as well as student-authored academic publications.

The King's has an active intercollegiate athletics program, competing in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference in men's and women's basketball, volleyball and outdoor soccer. Club sports include hockey and indoor soccer.
