Kettering University was founded in Flint, Michigan, as a school of automotive engineering, and it remains true to that vision today.
Students at Kettering are required to complete several co-op terms as part of their education, alternating between on-the-job experience and classes on campus. The last two terms are spent on a thesis project that is decided on by the student and employer.
According to the school, 98% of graduates are employed in their field or go on to graduate school within six months of finishing the program.
According to PayScale, graduates tend to work for major automakers earning a beginning salary of $65,000.
"They're giving them a ton of opportunity to get hands-on training, then they're sending them out into the world with the skills employers are looking for," said Frank.
