Kennesaw State University, a state-owned institution headquartered in the US, was founded in 1963 and operates with approximately 7,140 employees. The institution functions as a public research university in the U.S. state of Georgia, maintaining two campuses within the Atlanta metropolitan area—one in the Kennesaw area and the other in Marietta—which collectively span 581 acres.
