Kettering University is a private university in Flint, Michigan. It offers bachelor of science and master’s degrees in STEM and business. Kettering University undergraduate students must complete at least five co-op terms to graduate.
Strong option for students serious about STEM or business careers — the mandatory co-op program (at least five terms before graduation) is the real differentiator here, and median earnings of $78,500 ten years out suggest it pays off. The 93% freshman retention rate signals students who show up tend to stick around, though a 71% graduation rate means roughly 3 in 10 don't finish, worth asking about before enrolling. At $33,092/year net price with relatively modest debt at graduation ($26,563), the financial picture is reasonable — but only if you're committed enough to see it through.
