Welcome

On behalf of the Faculty and Staff of the College of Computing and Software Engineering at Kennesaw State University, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our college. Our goal is to make a positive impact on the lives of others through computing. We do that through education, research, engagement with industry, and active community outreach. We want computing to empower people and use it for social good.

Over the last four decades, I have been fortunate to see the development and adoption of innovative technology into mainstream society. We can hardly imagine living a day without the Internet, smartphones, or (for some of you) video games. There is an ever-increasing demand for professionals as computing is a continuously evolving discipline – and it is one that is just as exciting and life changing today as in the past.

To that end, our college offers high-quality academic programs in Computer Science, Data Science and Analytics, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, and Game Design and Development at the undergraduate, masters and doctoral levels.
