What are the graduation rates for students at Kettering College?

Kettering College's reported overall graduation rate is 65% in the 2024-25 institutional data. Its four-year measure is 55%, while its six-year measure is 63%; the figures should not be combined or treated as outcomes for every student entering every program.

Federal graduation-rate measures generally follow defined groups of first-time, full-time students over specified periods. They can exclude transfer entrants and do not describe the completion prospects of every adult learner or graduate student. Kettering College also reports a 74% student retention rate, a separate measure of continued enrollment rather than degree completion.

For a more relevant comparison, an applicant should seek the completion, examination-pass and placement disclosures for the specific credential under consideration. A college-wide graduation figure cannot show whether students complete a particular clinical program on schedule.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Kettering College?

College Scorecard program data reported in October 2026 show one-year post-completion earnings figures for several Kettering College health fields. The reported figure is $60,998 for allied health diagnostic, intervention and treatment professions, compared with $59,272 for the registered nursing grouping and $60,690 for another health-professions grouping.

These are program-field measures for graduates represented in the Scorecard's earnings records, not starting-salary offers or a prediction for every graduate. Federal program earnings measures generally describe the median among eligible, federally aided completers with observed earnings about one year after completion. Program groupings can also combine different credentials or occupations, and earnings may reflect hours worked, location and prior experience.

Students comparing degrees should weigh these figures alongside the credential's total cost, licensing requirements and longer-term career options. A one-year earnings measure cannot establish the financial return of an individual student's education.
