Queen's Faculty Of Applied Science





HISTORY

In 1893, the Ontario government established the Kingston School of Mining, coinciding with the location of Queen's University, but existing legally as a separate institution. When Queen's became a non-secular institution in the early 20th Century, the School of Mining officially joined with the University and subsequently renamed itself the Faculty of Applied Science.
