About This School

Kettering College has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 77%. The average net price after financial aid is $21,650 per year.

Kettering College is a private Adventist college near Dayton, Ohio. The college is owned by the Kettering Medical Center and chartered by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The college was built in 1967 next to the Charles F. Kettering Memorial Hospital. It is a member of the Strategic Ohio Council for Higher Education (SOCHE).
This is a strong option for students pursuing allied health careers — it's affiliated with Kettering Medical Center, which means real clinical connections, and graduates earn a solid median of $60,200 within 10 years on relatively modest debt of $19,456. The small enrollment (543 students) and Seventh-day Adventist affiliation create a tight-knit, values-driven environment that works well for some students but may feel limiting for others. The one honest concern: a 65% graduation rate means about 1 in 3 students don't finish, so it's worth asking the school directly what drives that and what support is in place.
