KETTERING UNIVERSITY

1700 University Ave. • Flint, MI 48504 (810) 762-9500 • www.kettering.edu

Kettering University isn’t for everyone. It’s for those who rebuild an engine at home because shop class isn’t moving fast enough. For those who take on rigor and reap the rewards. For those who demand more from their education—and themselves.

What began in 1919 as a night school for automotive engineers and technicians has grown into a university that produces leaders across industries—from automotive and biotechnology to finance and energy, robotics, and beyond.

At Kettering, students don’t just study. They alternate every 11 weeks between rigorous on-campus learning and full-time Co-op employment. One term is spent mastering concepts in classrooms and labs; the next, applying those skills on the job with one of more than 550 employer partners across the country and around the world. By graduation, students can earn

$55,000 to $75,000 (often more) and gain up to two and a half years of professional experience, well before most peers enter the workforce.

Forged from a history of industry-embedded education, Kettering continues to lead at the forefront of next-generation technologies like advanced mobility, new energy vehicles, intelligent manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and sustainability. That legacy lives on in our students—those who turn “what if” into “what’s next.”

Kettering has built a STEM learning experience like nowhere else, where students work shoulder to shoulder with professors and industry leaders, putting their ideas to the test and solving tomorrow’s problems.

Our students don’t wait for opportunity—they build it. They graduate miles ahead, and they don’t look back.

is Is Your Proving Ground

Kettering is more than you think— it exceeded my expectations. I had hands-on work and real responsibilities beyond training. You can’t really see the full value until you come here and make that jump.

CHRISTIAN LOPEZ ’25

HOMETOWN: Canton, MI

CO-OP: BorgWarner/PHINIA MAJOR: Industrial Engineering

$55K-$75K OVER 4.5 YEARS

Christian Lopez’s Kettering experience unlocked incredible opportunities: a full-ride BorgWarner scholarship with a Co-op offer, hands-on experience designing assembly line parts and optimizing a warehouse, and Co-op roles that took him from Dearborn, MI to Ithaca, NY — to Blois, France.

BorgWarner sent Christian to Europe, expenses paid, where he gained valuable insights into global operations. This is the advantage of Kettering: meaningful connections, hands-on learning, and opportunities that open doors worldwide.

It’s always been easier for me to help others than to help myself

As a Veteran, when someone raises their hand for help, you’re often one of the first ones to respond. But it’s also okay to get help for yourself. Maybe you want or need assistance with employment, stress, finances, mental health or finding the right resources. No matter what it is, you earned it. And there’s no better time than right now to ask for it. Don’t wait. Reach out.
