Kettering UniversityGet paid to learn with a co-op (cooperative) education. What’s a co-op education? Glad you asked.

Much better than on-the-job training, co-op education combines classroom-based education with real and practical work experience.

Where can you get a co-op education? At Kettering University, of course. US News and World Report ranks Kettering University as “the #1 University in the nation for Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering” in their annual “America’s Best Colleges Guide for 2008“.

Interestingly enough, Kettering University (formerly “General Motors Institute”) is named after inventor and former head of research for General Motors, Charles Kettering.

Offering degrees in Engineering, Management, Science and Math, Kettering University is home to the most modern and professional engineering co-op programs in the nation.

This unique co-op program places students in companies while in their freshman year. Students gain practical experience by rotating between school and their co-op every 3 months.

What’s more, most classes have fewer than 20 students and are taught by Ph.D. level professors. The combination of a small class size and highly qualified teaching staff provides students a personalized learning experience.

To get a much clearer picture of how Kettering works, admissions, industrial engineering education, etc…, you simply must go to their website and view some of their stickman videos. They are truly informative as well as entertaining. The stickman videos guide you to a quick and thorough understanding on what decisions you need to make and how to get started.
