Hello, At Kettering, learning isn’t confined to textbooks. It happens in the lab, in the field, and on the factory floor. With a 50/50 blend of rigorous academics and paid Co-op employment, students don’t just prepare for careers—they launch them. Kettering students work shoulder-to-shoulder with professors and industry leaders, tackling real-world challenges and re-engineering the technologies that power the future: drivetrains, solar panels, drones, security code, medical devices, and electric vehicles. They leave campus more prepared, more connected, and better equipped than their peers. And the competition never catches up. One-of-its-Kind Co-op Program Kettering’s Co-op model starts freshman year, with students alternating between 11-week sprints of classroom learning and paid work with 570+ industry partners. This approach propels them beyond entry-level positions. By graduation, they average 2.5 years of industry experience and earn between $55,000 and $75,000 (often more) during their 4.5 years at Kettering. Opportunity Like Nowhere Else |
