Ready for additional opportunities? KSU Journey Honors College offers you access to a flexible curriculum that works with every major and does not add time or cost to your degree. Enjoy small, discussion-based Honors sections of core courses and interdisciplinary seminars and other opportunities that enhance your professional portfolio. Honors students also enjoy additional scholarship opportunities, priority registration privileges, the opportunity to participate in research alongside top faculty, domestic and international study abroad courses and Honors housing options.
Highly motivated? Consider accelerating your path towards a master’s degree. Double Owl Pathways provide degree-seeking students the opportunity to obtain their undergraduate and graduate degrees faster and at a significantly lower cost than if they pursued each degree independently.
There is something for everyone at KSU. During your time here in The Nest, we hope you make the most of your collegiate years by building your community and becoming involved in one of our 300+ student-led organizations.
After you’re done studying, interning and conducting research, you’ll need a place to relax. KSU Housing options allow you to live close to metro Atlanta while staying in the middle of the campus action with convenient access to classes, dining, events and recreation.
With all of these advantages, it’s no surprise that students who live on campus are more likely to graduate in four years than those who choose to live elsewhere.
You’ll never be bored when you dine on campus. Our award-winning dining halls not only give students a place to eat but also somewhere to connect, study and play. The rotating menus offer a wide variety of options, including made- to-order dishes and internationally inspired and vegan-friendly options. Our famous fried chicken — a KSU tradition on Thursdays — will satisfy your comfort food craving. Take a study break for memory-making events throughout the semester. In addition to our dining halls, you’ll have convenient access to your favorite quick-service restaurants right on campus. No time to dine in? No problem! Grubhub makes it easy to get it all to go. Plus, a KSU Meal Plan and Dining Dollars ensure you pay the lowest price possible.
Behind every three-point shot, touchdown and goal scored stands an amazing KSU Owl.
Work hard, play hard. That’s our unofficial motto around here. Our NCAA Division I student-athletes make KSU a better place through their commitment to academic excellence and community service. Owl Nation boasts over 40 intramural and club sports teams, making it easy for all students to stay active and involved. And with so many choices and top-tier facilities, rooting for the Black and Gold has never been easier.
Our in-person campus tours are designed specifically for students and their families. Led by a tour guide, the campus tour highlights academic programs, housing, dining and admissions. You can choose to visit both the Kennesaw and Marietta campuses or the campus that houses your area of academic interest.
Take a deeper dive into everything KSU has to offer. You’ll experience what it is like to be a KSU student by learning about academics, housing, dining, financial aid, scholarships, student life and career planning and development.
We offer two virtual options to experience all that KSU has to offer. You can take a tour online via our virtual tour website or have a more interactive experience in our self-guided campus tour. Both options allow you the opportunity to learn about our history, campuses, academic programs and student life at your leisure.
KSU believes all students should have access to an affordable college education.
We offer financial aid and scholarship options to help make college affordable for you. We make college degrees a reality for thousands of students each year, and we’d like to add you to that list.
