How Azimuth compares programs across colleges

Further analysis

Engineering shapes the programs picture at Kettering University, accounting for 85.5% of bachelor's degrees awarded. Computer & Information Sciences accounts for 10.2%, and Business accounts for 2.7%.

Award counts here are degrees conferred in one academic year, rather than a count of enrolled students. Outcomes vary by field, so the programs page separates results across majors.

Azimuth evaluates programs using four-year earnings among federally aided completers, debt, and cohort size rather than reputation. Four-year earnings data are available for 6 programs.

Computer Engineering has median earnings of $120,531 four years after completion, followed by Electrical Engineering at $109,977 and Computer Science at $106,638. These are program-level median earnings for federally aided completers four years after completion.
