For Parents: The Basics

Put Their Brains on the Job
Kettering's professional co-op enables students to graduate with 2.5 years of on-the-job experience in their chosen field. Kettering has partnerships with over 700 co-op employers across the U.S. and around the world.

Yes, They Get to Keep the Money
As a paid professional co-op student, Kettering undergrads can earn up to $65,000 over the course of their co-op. That's got to help out with those college bills, right Mom and Dad?

What to Do With the Money
A co-op education offers incredible benefits both in your child's academic and professional career. We encourage parents to read "Making the Grade with Cooperative Education" to learn how students' co-op earnings can make college more affordable.

We're Big on Small
With a student/faculty ratio of 12:1 and an average class size of 20, your child will receive plenty of individual attention. Plus, nearly 98% of Kettering seniors have job offers or are accepted into graduate school before they graduate; all that attention really pays off. Kettering graduates also often command above-average starting salaries and are quick to climb the corporate ladder because of their co-op experience.

Getting an Edge
Kettering retains its #1 ranking in U.S. News & World Report's "America's Best Colleges Guide" for 2008. "The Princeton Review" declares Kettering a "Best Midwestern College". Students earn Bachelor degrees in Mechanical, Electrical, Computer And Industrial Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Applied Physics, Engineering Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science and Business Management.

Living the Life
Active Greek societies, social and academic clubs, intramural sports, guaranteed first-year, single-room accommodations with all the amenities, and a new recreation center keep Kettering students relaxed and ready to learn.

Dollars That Make Sense
