Kettering University will lock tuition, room and board rates for incoming undergraduate students at last year’s rate. The University has no academic fees in addition to tuition. Because the University offers a fixed-rate tuition guarantee, all students at Kettering pursue their degrees without ever seeing their tuition increase or being charged an academic fee. The no-increase decision for the 2020-21 academic year amplifies the University’s ongoing commitment to providing a quality, accessible education. 

Your education is one of the most important investments you will ever make.  It pays back many times throughout your career. Wages you earn from a co-op or an experiential learning experience can be used to off-set the cost of your Kettering education. On average, our students earn $40,000 - $65,000 while pursuing their education ($10,000-$14,000 average yearly earnings). Those dollars are above and beyond any merit scholarship, need-based aid or other financial assistance you may receive.

In a bold step to kick off the next century, Kettering University broke ground on the construction of the Learning Commons on February 5, 2020.  The 105,000-sq.-ft building will bring multiple state-of-the-art venues to campus encompassing dining, collaboration and performance facilities as well as new digital, learning and maker spaces. As the cornerstone of the University's Boldly Forward campaign, construction is expected to be completed by 2022.
