Kennesaw State University, Public university in Kennesaw, United States.
Kennesaw State University is a public higher education institution in Cobb County that spreads across two locations in the Atlanta metro area. Both campuses offer modern teaching buildings, research facilities, and dormitories for a large student community.
The institution began in 1963 as Kennesaw Junior College through a decision by the Georgia Board of Regents and developed into a two-year college for the growing region north of Atlanta. The name Kennesaw State University was adopted in 1996 when the school expanded its academic offerings and gained full university status.
Student life revolves around more than three hundred clubs and organizations that cover sports, arts, and academic interests. The campus also runs its own media outlet called The Sentinel, which produces news and reports from daily university life.
The institution organizes its programs through thirteen colleges with focus on technology-oriented fields and applied research. Visitors and students find libraries, sports facilities, and public areas across both locations, which are connected by shuttle buses.
The Social Sciences Building was the first structure within the University System of Georgia to receive LEED Silver certification for green construction. This certification recognizes the use of sustainable materials and energy-efficient systems throughout the building.
