Kettering University is a highly acclaimed
technical school with a unique co-operative learning program. Established in
1919, when the school was known as General Motors Institute (GMI),
Professional Cooperative Education at Kettering University integrates theory
and practice through the planned alternation of class study with paid,
career-related work. The work component of the program represents a
substantial portion of students’ curricula, and each students’ level of
professional responsibility normally increases as they complete advanced
course work. |
