Excellence Begins Here

There’s something powerful about standing in the place where someone's  future begins. On a visit to Kennesaw State, you don’t just see classrooms—you see opportunity. Your student will explore our innovative learning spaces, experience the energy of campus life, and hear firsthand from students who once stood where they are now. Whether they are envisioning late-night study sessions in the library or cheering in the student section, the KSU journey starts here.

If your student is seeking a college experience that goes beyond the expected, the KSU Journey Honors College offers a path designed for distinction. With innovative curriculum, personalized faculty mentorship, and exclusive research and leadership opportunities, the honors experience deepens a student's academic journey. The Honors College celebrates curiosity and will help your student pursue their goals with purpose. They’ll join a community of like-minded peers who share their drive and work alongside a team that empowers them to reach their highest potential.

Why wait to chase the next goal when your teen can work on it now? Double Owl Pathways will allow your student to earn both a bachelor’s and a master’s degrees in less time and at a lower cost. This accelerated option is ideal for driven students ready to deepen their expertise and gain a competitive edge. They’ll save money, maximize their time, and leave KSU with credentials that open doors. The future they’re aiming for is closer than they think.

At KSU, research is not reserved for graduate students—it starts with undergraduates. From the first year, your student will have the opportunity to collaborate with faculty on meaningful projects that fuel innovation, solve real-world problems, and spark curiosity. Whether they find themselves in a lab, out in the field, or presenting at a national conference, their work here is more than research. It is their chance to lead the conversation in a chosen field before they even graduate.

Imagine earning college credit while hiking volcanic trails in Costa Rica, studying art in Italy, or interning with a global company in Korea. With KSU’s Education Abroad programs, the world becomes your student's  classroom. These experiences build cultural awareness, independence, and an international mindset that today’s employers value. Your teen will return with new perspectives, lifelong memories, and a deeper understanding of their place in the world. If they’re ready to explore beyond borders, we’ll help get them there.

Real-world experience can set graduates apart—and at KSU, it’s built into the educational experience. Through internships and co-ops, your student will connect with top companies, apply what they’ve learned in the classroom, and create a network that supports their career goals. These experiences help them test-drive their future and enter the workforce with confidence. Many of our students turn internships into job offers before they even graduate. The best way to prepare for what’s next is to start now.

KSU students are dreamers, doers, and difference-makers—and their stories reflect the depth of what’s possible here. From launching businesses to conducting groundbreaking research and landing roles at top companies, our students write their success stories daily. Their journeys are filled with challenges, breakthroughs, and moments of transformation. As you read their experiences, imagine what your own student's story might become. KSU is where potential turns into progress.
