King’s College is not Dalhousie…exactly

The University of King’s College has but one degree that is not conferred to its graduates in partnership with Dalhousie University.  That, my friends, is the Journalism program.  So proud is King’s of its J-School that it has reserved for itself this one degree to bear the name of The University of King’s College alone.  All the other degrees are conferred with Dalhousie University on the diploma (and probably some fancy Latin lettering indicating that King’s had something to do with it).

Nevertheless, we share a campus with Dalhousie, facilities with Dalhousie, and a large chunk of our identity with Dalhousie.

So when I saw this, it was kind of like realizing, yeah, you didn’t get picked for the team, but the team’s change room was actually leaking an odorless poison the entire year and now all the players are infertile. So really, I think I’m the big winner here today.
