When CEO Bassim Hamadeh was an undergraduate student at the University of California, San Diego, his personal experiences with high textbook prices and long bookstore wait times inspired him to create a publishing company that cares not only about the learning materials it publishes, but the students who use them. Today, Cognella is one of the most student-centric publishers in the world.

Cognella is dedicated to providing students with affordable learning materials, superior customer service, easy purchase options, and concise, focused educational materials.

We work closely with instructors to create learning materials that only contain the information you’ll need for a given course, so you aren’t paying for extra pages or chapters you simply won’t use. Our direct-to-student purchase option bypasses bookstore markups and delivers learning materials directly to you. We subscribe to a print-on-demand model, so we only produce what you need, when you need it.

Lastly, we pledge to be the publisher that helps. Whatever the question or request, we’re always ready to help you have the best experience possible in ordering and using Cognella learning materials.
