Kettering University has long been a leader in the preparation of technical and managerial leaders for industry and society and is a national leader in cooperative education as well. The Kettering plan of education is unique in that all students are required to participate in paid professional co-op work experience, alternating terms of full-time studies with terms of full-time co-op. Income from co-op is a significant resource to help pay college expenses.
