Kettering University
Whether you're a working professional located half-way around the
world or an on-campus student, you'll find our programs convenient and
flexible enough to work
around your schedule. For over twenty years we have delivered our
masters degrees via distance learning methods in order to eliminate
the need to commute to a campus. These programs are available to
students throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. We can deliver
these programs directly to you as an individual, or to your company
site for the benefit of your co-workers and employees.
Our undergraduate program (which began in 1919 as General Motors
Institute) is a residential program with a professional co-op
component. All undergraduate students participate in our professional
co-op program. Students spend 11 weeks in the classroom on campus
followed by 12 weeks with a co-op employer. Students are paid for
their co-op work and on average earn between $40 -$65K over the entire
program, not to mention gaining valuable real-world work experience at
the same time! Kettering University also offers B.S. degrees in
Applied mathematics, Applied Physics, Environmental Chemistry and
Business Management.
Flexible and Convenient
Our graduate programs are also available through on-campus evening
classes, full-time day classes. Our state-of-the-art labs and
facilities will add to your learning experience. Through Kettering’s
highly regarded co-op education for undergraduate students, all
students rotate on-campus school terms with work terms at employer
sites.
High Quality
Our programs are delivered by faculty and academic departments who
consistently receive national recognition, such as the U.S. News and
World Report's top rankings for many of Kettering's academic areas in
the fields of manufacturing and engineering. Our faculty and
instructors have practical industry experience in addition to PhDs in
their field of expertise. This ensures that you'll better understand
how the knowledge of processes you learn apply in your workplace. With
the quality of the professional co-op program it is all the proof a
student would need to pursue his/her undergraduate degree at
Kettering. With the quality, convenience, and flexibility of Kettering
Graduate Programs, there's no excuse not to get your masters degree.
MS in Manufacturing Engineering
This program is designed to provide graduates with the knowledge and
skills needed to be engineering leaders in modern industry and to
equip them to deal with rapidly changing technology and to pursue
lifelong learning.
The curriculum emphasizes knowledge and skills needed to perform
engineering functions in modern industry. Although designed as a
terminal degree program, fundamentals are stressed to provide a solid
base for continued learning beyond the master's level by providing
preparation for study at the doctoral level.
This degree may be completed in as little as fifteen months on a
full-time basis, or in two and 1/2 years on a part-time basis.
Part-time students take one 4-credit course per term; full-time
students generally take two. The maximum length of time to complete a
degree is five years.
MS in Information Technology
Information Technology is rapidly changing the fundamental structure
of business on a global scale. Professionals who understand the
strategic value of IT within their organization can create a
competitive advantage within their industry. The Kettering University
Master of Science in Information Technology program will prepare you
to help shape your 21st century organization in a
globally-competitive, rapidly-changing, technologically-sophisticated
environment.
MS in Engineering Management
Modern manufacturing businesses require that their engineers and
managers have an advanced technical background and a wealth of
managerial knowledge. Kettering's cross-discipline program was
specifically designed to meet the needs of Ford Motor Company and Ford
Suppliers. This program draws from both engineering and business
curricula. The MS in Engineering Management provides an integrated set
of learning opportunities for students interested in understanding the
disciplines necessary for effectively managing technical, engineering
related business endeavors.
Graduates of this program will gain knowledge, skills, and experience
in the concepts and implementation of Lean Manufacturing and managing
Lean Enterprises. Key topic areas of the program include lean concepts
with business specific classes. At the end of one year the student
will graduate with a Master of Science degree in Engineering
Management.
MS in Engineering
Automotive Systems
CAE Simulation
Cognate
Mechanical Design
BS in Computer Engineering
The Computer Engineering program prepares students for a wide spectrum
of professional careers focusing on the application of modern
electrical technology to the design of equipment and systems for
processing information and controlling energy.
The excellent laboratories at Kettering support courses in
microcomputer hardware and software development, embedded computers,
electronics, digital and signal processing, semiconductor
characterization, control systems, electrical machines, programmable
controllers, high-voltage techniques, and power systems. Graduates of
this program provide their employers hands-on experience through their
laboratory practice, project assignments that encourage teamwork, and
cooperative employment.
BS in Computer Science
A degree in Computer Science from Kettering University will prepare
you for work in industry or business, providing not only the technical
skills and knowledge required but also the communication and team
skills desired by most companies today. Additionally, it will serve as
a strong foundation for those students wishing to continue their
studies in graduate school.
The Computer Science degree is designed in accordance with the
guidelines of the Computer Science Accreditation Board and with those
of the ACM-IEEE professional societies. It also incorporates the input
from many of Kettering's corporate partners to ensure that our
graduates are prepared to meet the demands of industry and business.
BS in Electrical Engineering
The Electrical Engineering program is designed to provide students
with an educational background in the basic principles that are the
foundation of modern engineering. Electrical Engineering students
study the basic principles that govern the operation of such products.
Electrical Engineers work in many areas of industry where they design
and use electrical devices. Examples include computer systems, control
systems, radio and satellite communication systems, motors and
electrical actuators, and electronics.
Through the selection of elected courses, students may concentrate at
the advanced level of control systems, power systems, electronics,
electro-magnetics, energy conversion and computer engineering.
BS in Industrial Engineering
The Industrial Engineering curriculum develops both the engineering
theory and the practical background and people skills necessary to
design the optimal productive work and management control systems for
an organization. The curriculum features the breadth of coverage
characteristic to Industrial Engineering while providing the
flexibility for concentration within the discipline in the areas of
Computer Systems Integration, Human Factors and Work Design, Quality
Assurance and Reliability, Production Control Systems, and
Manufacturing Systems Design. The Industrial Engineering curriculum is
designed to provide the student with a sound theoretical background
while being oriented toward applied problem-solving. Classroom
instruction is backed by hands-on application in well-equipped
laboratory facilities in Computer Graphics, Computer Software
Development, Human Factors (ergonomics), Manufacturing Systems,
Methods Analysis, Networked Microcomputers, and Physical Simulation.
BS in Mechanical Engineering
The degree program in Mechanical Engineering prepares students for a
broad range of careers associated with the design and implementation
of mechanical systems and with conversion, transmission, and
utilization of energy. Mechanical engineering courses that provide
breadth in the discipline include design, dynamics, engineering
materials, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, vibrations,
systems analysis, and associated laboratories. Large and well-equipped
laboratories in experimental mechanics, heat transfer, fluid
mechanics, engines, vibrations, hydraulics, instrumentation, and
automotive emissions support the mechanical engineering program.
Women in Engineering
Kettering University is dedicated to the recruitment and retention of
