The purpose of the Kettering University academic and cooperative education program is to provide a sound and thorough education in
preparation for future technical and administrative responsibilities. Applicants must be able and willing to make a major commitment to a
concentrated academic program. Kettering University is looking for outstanding, well-rounded students who are especially strong in the
areas of science, mathematics, and English.
ADMISSION PROCESS
Admission to Kettering University is a selective process based on traditional academic criteria. Our admissions process is a personal one.
We are interested in learning about your interests, talents and career goals in order to provide the best information and guidance we can as
you select the college or university that is right for you.
The initial phase in the admission process is an evaluation by Kettering of the candidate’s application. Kettering University attempts to
identify individuals who are best qualified to complete a course of study in applied physics, engineering physics, biochemistry, chemistry,
computer science, applied mathematics, engineering, or management and to pursue a career in business or industry. Primary consideration
is given to the applicant’s high school academic record and scores on college entrance examinations. Secondary consideration is given to
the student’s class standing, employment history, extracurricular honors and activities, and other evidence of ability, interest, and motivation.
Kettering does not discriminate by reason of an individual’s race, color, sex, creed, age, physical challenge, or national origin.
Applicants to Kettering University should have pursued a rigorous college preparatory curriculum and achieved high scholastic standing
especially in the areas of science, mathematics, and English. Applicants for freshman admission must have completed sixteen credits in a
college preparatory program for grades nine through twelve. Credits given in eighth grade for ninth grade algebra and recorded on the
official high school transcript may be used as one credit of algebra.
Scholastic Preparation
To be eligible for admission, a student must complete the following courses prior to enrollment at Kettering University:
English:
6 semesters required (8 semesters are recommended)
Mathematics:
Algebra - 4 semesters
Geometry - 2 semesters
Trigonometry - 1 semester
Science:
2 years of Lab Science (one must be) Chemistry or Physics
NOTE: All applicants must complete four semesters of science with lab including either two semesters of Chemistry or Physics. Both are
strongly recommended.
All applicants are encouraged to complete English, science and math courses beyond these minimum requirements. Training and/or experience
in mechanical drawing, computer aided design, and personal computers is encouraged.
Beyond these minimum requirements, Kettering does not have a fixed formula for determining who to accept for admission. However, a
strong record of achievement is expected. A separate GPA will be calculated for English, mathematics and science course work for all
students.
