KETTERING UNIVERSITY CO-OP PROGRAM
Benefits
Experiential learning is taken to a higher level at Kettering University. Students alternate academic terms of classes taught by respected faculty with academic terms of fulltime professional employment at highly regarded corporate partners. Kettering’s integrated experiential learning program recognizes that there can be as much to learn in a workplace as in a lecture hall.
Every aspect of a student’s experiences – successes and failures, class experience, and on-the-job training – is an educational opportunity. All these opportunities are showcased in a student’s culminating experience completed during the senior year.
Why Co-op/Experiential Learning?
• Gain up to 2 ½ years of professional experience
• Hands-on experience at school and on the job
• Earn between $6,000 and $15,000 on average per year
