Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Mechanical Engineering  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Average This school is a waste of money. The educational aspect is below average. If this really is the best school in the country (as they say) then this country is in some serious trouble. A lot of the professors here are terrible. Students must teach themselves most of the material. Many professors are more concerned with their personal projects than with teaching. Teaching is a side job for them. However, there are a few great professors at Kettering. Kettering is far too expensive for what it gives you. It's not possible to get a full understanding of the material in 11 weeks especially if your professor is incompetent. The only thing of value that Kettering has is the co-op program. I am tired of working hard only to be screwed by the administration types and the professors. I can't take it anymore. I am embarrassed to say that I go to Kettering University. Go to U of M.

Despite having many programs by name that would seem to differentiate from the engineering field, Kettering is STRICTLY an engineering school. The business department is, for lack of a better word, a joke. The information system program teaches you how to use Microsoft Access and VB.NET--things that I learned as a sophomore in high school. The rest of the classes until your junior year are revamped Industrial Engineering courses with new names. I say with all honesty that I have not learned anything about information systems in class that I didn’t know before I enrolled. Yet, I can say the co-op experience provided new learning opportunities, but it was on-the-job learning. The finance major is consists of two basic finance courses and four accounting courses. The marketing major is also very bare. The curriculum requirements have been redone three times since I started in 2004! This problem also trickles down into your co-op experience. 90% of the companies involved in the co-op experience at Kettering are in the automotive/manufacturing arena. Even if you are finance major you will have to have some mechanical interest in order to thrive in the co-op process. You do have the opportunity to make a lot of money if you choose to work for the right company though. You can also fluff your resume to immense proportions with the right vocabulary through the co-op. This gives you a great chance to get your missed college experience in grad school (Which is my plan). Finally, I’ll talk about the social life at Kettering. Kettering is the place for you if you like 75 % white males. Diversity is sorely lacking. Intramural Sports and binge drinking are the totality of the typical weekend Kettering activities. Most of the students come from Michigan or Ohio, so they often go home. The campus covers about 2 blocks and is encompassed by an impoverished neighborhood and city. Enrollment has been steadily dropping since I came into Kettering and I don’t see it changing unless major renovations are made to the Kettering experience as a whole. If you are a gear-head, nerd, or introvert, then Kettering is the place for you. You will be challenged to your breaking point in academics and social interactions but……………you will end up with a good job. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!

They are more attentive to engineering students and co-op jobs for engineering students. If that is what they want their main focus to be on then they should make the school strictly for engineering. Because of the 11 weeks on and 11 weeks off it is hard to get a summer internship on your own and you HAVE to have a co-op job in order to graduate so DO NOT GO HERE if you do not have a co-op/internship already lined up. You can go to a 4 year school and get summer internships easier then trying to compete to get a co-op at this school. Preparedness: B, Reputation: D Have a Question?
