Did You Know?
You probably get our Course Catalog in the mail and plan to register for a class or two. However, did you know our building used to be a mall or that you’ll be learning from award-winning instructors?
Check out these little-known facts about Kennesaw State University’s College of Continuing and Professional Education. You might find something that will surprise you!
Yes, it used to be an outlet mall.
KSU Center, that is, until the early 90s when it became home for our college.
We like prizes.
Specifically, Braves tickets, Target gift cards, KSU swag bags and more … you never know when a Facebook contest will pop up and you can win big! It’s all to say THANK YOU for being a lifelong learner!
These really are our students.
From the cover of the course catalog to our videos, we feature real students, graduates and instructors to give you glimpse into what CCPE can do for you. “I Did It” is more than a statement – it’s a lifestyle.
FREE is always good.
