 Program Overview
|
Kettering University has been providing students with specialized, high quality education for over 85 years. Distance Learning has allowed Kettering University to carry on this tradition by eliminating traditional geographic barriers for off campus students.
Master's degree classes for on campus students are held in modern production studios, so that the entire presentation, lecture and classroom experience can be recorded in several delivery formats and sent to off campus students. Therefore, off campus students receive the same classroom experience as those students who are physically in the classroom.
Kettering University offers students the opportunity to learn in over one hundred Learning Centers in North America, Europe and Asia. A Learning Center provides students with the opportunity to earn an Masters degree without ever stepping foot on campus. There are many graduate programs that students can take at Kettering, which may be completed at the student's own pace. Students can take up to six years to complete the program, and it is also possible for students to take terms off. Most students take one or two classes per term, but students are permitted to take as many classes as they wish.
Graduate programs (Master's degrees)
Various Master of Science degrees are offered through Distance Learning. There are additional Master's programs available at Kettering University, which are not available through Distance Learning.
