Is Kennesaw University's ranking strong enough?

I'm considering Kennesaw University, and while it's on my list, I'm unsure about how its ranking and reputation can affect future opportunities. Can anyone with experience tell me if that's a big consideration at Kennesaw?

While it's common (and quite helpful) to refer to college rankings as a general means to assess a school's reputation, it's also essential to remember that these rankings are heavily influenced by numerous variables - not all of which might reflect what you're searching for in a college experience. When considering a university, it's beneficial to look at its strengths in the areas that specifically matter to you, such as your intended major, the calibre of faculty in your department, the nature of student life, alumni network etc.

In the case of Kennesaw State University, it may not rank among the top few in national rankings, but it does hold a strong standing in several specific areas. It's accredited and recognized for its business, nursing, and engineering programs, has a vibrant campus life, and houses one of the best online MBA programs in Georgia.

Moreover, your future opportunities are more often determined by your personal motivation, degree program, internships, connections, and experiences, more than the overall ranking of your college.

Consider visiting the campus virtually or in person, speaking to current students and faculty in your prospective majors, and reach out to the alumni if possible. This will give you a first-hand impression whether the institution aligns with your personal and academic goals.
