Kettering College

What does Kettering College offer in terms of athletics?

Kettering College is better understood as a specialized health-professions college than as a destination for intercollegiate varsity sports. Basketball and volleyball appear among its reported athletic activities, but that listing alone does not establish varsity teams, a competition division or conference membership.

Students interested in playing should ask student life whether those sports currently operate as recreational, intramural or organized competitive activities. They should not infer the availability of athletic recruiting or scholarships from a general list of sports.

What student groups and Associations are available at Kettering College?

Kettering College identifies a Student Association and Campus Ministries among its student involvement opportunities. The former provides a route into student activities and representation; the latter reflects the college's religious affiliation and offers a setting for faith-related participation.

Students interested in academic, service, cultural or performing-arts groups should check the current student-life roster, since smaller colleges can see organizations change with student interest and leadership. Participation in a recognized student group is distinct from receiving a campus service or attending a college-sponsored event.

Who studies at Kettering College?

Kettering College enrolled 757 students in the reported institutional snapshot, making it a relatively small college. Among new degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates, the figures include 88 first-time students and 93 transfer entrants.

The student body includes both traditional-age and older learners. The largest reported age groups are 22-24, with 213 students, and 20-21, with 155; students in their late twenties and beyond are also enrolled. About 92% of students in the reported geographic measure are Ohio residents. These figures describe enrollment, not an applicant's likelihood of admission to a particular health program.

In the first-time admissions group, 124 of 162 applicants were admitted, a rate of about 77%. Because the applicant pool is small and some professional programs have separate entry requirements, that overall rate should not be used as a proxy for the selectivity of a particular clinical major.

How does student life look like at Kettering College?

Everyday life at Kettering College centers on health-professions coursework, clinical preparation and a student body that includes many commuters. That combination can make schedules - and the time available for activities - different from those at a large residential university.

The college reports personal counseling and a health clinic, along with student activities and faith-related programming. It also reports a student-to-faculty ratio of 9 to 1, a measure of institutional scale rather than a guarantee about the size of every lecture or laboratory. Students balancing work, commuting and clinical assignments may find it especially useful to check when advising, counseling and campus events are available.

What libraries are available to students at Kettering College?

The Learning Resources Center is Kettering College's main campus library. For students in health fields, library support is particularly relevant to finding clinical literature, evaluating evidence and completing research-based assignments.

Students should use the center's current library guide or ask its staff about database access, research help, study space, borrowing and access away from campus. Availability can vary by resource and by the student's enrollment status, so a commuter or student on clinical placement should confirm how to use materials remotely.
