Students will gain the skills necessary to succeed in a career in Professional Sales. The Sales certificate is also important to differentiate KSU students competing for jobs with students from other universities.
The university affirmatively strives to provide educational opportunities and access to students with varied backgrounds, those with special talents and adult students who graduated from high school three or more years ago.
First-Year Students on the Kent Campus: First-year admission policy on the Kent Campus is selective.
