Kettering University is a private university in Flint, Michigan. It offers bachelor of science and master’s degrees in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and business fields. Kettering University undergraduate students are required to complete at least five co-op terms to graduate.[4] Students gain paid work experience in a variety of industries with Kettering's more than 550 corporate partners, and graduate with professional experiences accompanying their degree.[5]

Kettering University is named after inventor and former head of research for General Motors, Charles F. Kettering. He was a distinguished inventor, researcher, and proponent of cooperative education.[6]

History

Kettering University
Presidents
Robert McMahan

Founded as The School of Automotive Trades by Albert Sobey under the direction of the Industrial Fellowship of Flint on October 20, 1919, Kettering University has a long legacy with the automotive industry. The university became known as the Flint Institute of Technology in 1923 before being acquired by General Motors in 1926. It was renamed as the General Motors Institute of Technology and eventually the General Motors Institute in 1932.[2]

Once referred to as the "West Point of the Automobile industry," GMI focused on creating business and industry leaders through the unique co-op model (following the development of this program at the University of Cincinnati in 1907).[7] GMI also pioneered freshman-level manufacturing courses (Production Processes I & II), and automotive degree specialties. A fifth-year thesis requirement was added in 1945, and the Institute was granted the ability to award degrees. The first bachelor's degree was awarded on August 23, 1946.[2]

During the 1950s, the co-op program required applicants to find a GM division to be their sponsor. School and work were mixed in four- or eight-week rotations, dividing the student body into four sections, two (A and B) for the four-week rotations, and two (C and D) for the eight-week rotations. At any given time, when section A was in school, section B was at work, and vice versa. Every four weeks, this situation would be reversed. Sections C and D were scheduled similarly, on an eight-week basis. This resulted in students moving twelve or six times per year during a 48-week school/work year. Because General Motors used the school to train its engineers, tuition was partially subsidized. In June 1979 (the Class of 1984) co-op rotations were expanded to twelve weeks.

Split from GM

After GM reduced operations in Flint, the company and the university separated on July 1, 1982. The name of the institution became "GMI Engineering & Management Institute" and the letters "GMI" were retained to allow easy identification with the old General Motors Institute. The university began charging full tuition as an independent private university. The university kept the cooperative education model, expanding the number of co-op employers for students. The university also began offering graduate programs for both on- and off-campus students.[2]

Name change and expansion of programs

The university's name was formally changed to Kettering University on January 1, 1998, in honor of Charles Kettering.[8] The name change allowed the university to create a separate identity from General Motors as well as publicize the fact that academic programs were expanding beyond just automotive-related offerings.

The university launched a physics program in 1995, and had the first ABET-accredited applied physics program in the world in 2013.[9] A chemical engineering program as well as a pre-med course of study were launched in 2008.[10] The chemical engineering program received ABET accreditation in 2013.[11] The computer science program received ABET accreditation in 2007.[12] The university added an applied biology program in 2013.[13]

Academics

Kettering University offers Bachelor of Science degrees and offers master's degrees.[14] Some masters programs are offered online, as the school launched distance education programs in 2015. Most undergraduate programs require completion of 160 credit hours for graduation. Kettering also offers students more than 40 minors, concentrations, specialties, and courses of study.[15] Its most popular undergraduate majors, by 2021 graduates, were:[16]

Mechanical Engineering (233)

Learning Commons

Kettering University's campus is situated on approximately 90 acres of land along the Flint River on the west side of Flint. In 2012, as part of the university's mission to be an active leader in the revitalization of the city of Flint, Kettering began purchasing distressed properties from the Genesee County Land Bank, razing blighted structures, and taking over maintenance, mowing, and upkeep of the properties.[80]

Kettering has successfully received neighborhood stabilization grants from the Department of Justice[81] and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention[82] to support revitalization of neighborhoods near campus and form a walkable connector from Kettering's campus to ongoing developments downtown Flint and on the campus of the University of Michigan–Flint.

Campus Master Plan

In 2014, Kettering University unveiled a new Campus Master Plan.[83]

The plan's first phase was the construction of a new mixed-use Learning Commons building that was intended to house some academic department functions, a modern library, new food service venues and options, and other resources, including increased access to flexible, technology-enabled, collaborative spaces. It will also have spaces to accommodate alumni and other campus guests, integrating them into the campus community for the entirety of their visit.[84] The Learning Commons building was opened for use in 2022.

Future phases will include the construction of a new residence hall, new research facilities, and a raised connector across Chevrolet Avenue that pays homage to a bridge that existed when the property was home to the General Motors Chevrolet Division. The current Academic Building will include increased lab and community space, accommodating pre-collegiate programming.[84]

Greek life

Greek Life on the Kettering/GMI campus began in 1921. The first officially recognized organization was not formed until 5 years later as the White Elephants.[123] Several other local fraternities would appear on campus during the following years. However, because during this time GMI was not accredited, no national/international recognized fraternities appeared on campus. When GMI did receive accreditation in 1962, the university would require all local fraternities to join a national/international fraternity. Many of the current fraternities on campus came from that transition.[123] Currently, Kettering University has an active Greek system, which is recognized as an excellent source of service opportunities and leadership training. More than 40 percent of the student body is currently involved in a fraternity or sorority.[124]

Many North American Interfraternity Conference (IFC) fraternities have chapters at Kettering as do several National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) sororities. The National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) has several local chapters that are also affiliated with Kettering. IFC, NPC, and NPHC each have a school-wide council with representatives from each member organization. These councils are designed to facilitate communication between the different groups, and to facilitate relations with the university on matters such as school-wide events and membership.
