At Kennesaw State University (KSU), we serve as a powerful example of the impact a student-centered, research-driven university education can deliver. We prioritize student success and help students succeed through exploration, collaboration and rigor. As an R2-designated research-driven university, we embrace exploration that delivers real-world impact. We believe that doing is the key to learning, which is why we are focused on increasing the number of engaged learning opportunities and giving more students the chance to learn by doing. We developed our Quality Enhancement Plan, It's About Engagement, to advance KSU’s mission of student success by focusing on the dynamic nature of engaged learning in each of the academic colleges and the university, overall.
KSU is a comprehensive university located on two suburban campuses in Kennesaw and Marietta, northwest of metro Atlanta. Last year, KSU experienced the second-largest enrollment increase among all University System of Georgia (USG) institutions, making it the fifth consecutive year the University enjoyed substantial growth. As the third largest university in Georgia, KSU had 47,845 students enrolled in the fall in over 190 undergraduate, master’s, doctoral degree and certificate programs. Our student body is 55% minority, 39% Pell grant-awarded, 38% first-generation college students, and 6.4% of the undergraduate population are adult learners. These diverse backgrounds and experiences produce a collaborative spirit that opens the doors to new ideas and innovations. Our graduates are more than career ready – they’re ready to make an impact in our communities, our nation and around the world. At KSU, students become the individuals that others want as colleagues and as leaders.
