For 100 years, Kettering has been a pioneer in education, leading the world of academia with applied learning and practical ways to meld classroom learning and real-world education.

Kettering University Online now takes that same approach to the online classroom. With a Learn Today-Use Tomorrow philosophy in all courses, students can meet the challenges of their organizations and workplaces.

Learn Today - Use Tomorrow

Kettering University Online provides graduate-level educational opportunities that integrate an intense academic curriculum with applied professional experience. Through this proven approach, we inspire students to realize their potential and advance their ideas by combining theory and practice better than any institution in the world.

KUO programs make the difference. General Motors boasts that graduates of the MS Lean Manufacturing program have saved the company over $30M in about a decade by the incorporation of Capstone projects results in the workplace. And there is even more…

Students talk about how what they learn directly impacts their daily personal and professional lives with leaner thinking, better communication skills, new ideas about leading and how to work more effectively in a team.

Interaction is Key

Anyone can tell you they have an online program, but Kettering University Online developed their programs to create opportunities for high levels of engagement among students and between students and professors. Learn from leaders in their field, who not only have academic credentials from top institutions, but the work experience to guide the practical application of that learning to the real-world.
