INTERNATIONAL STUDIES (STUDY ABROAD) International Studies The International Studies Program at Kettering University can help students prepare for global leadership.

Studying abroad will provide students with knowledge and experience that will give them a competitive edge to excel in the world market, and set themselves apart from students at other Universities in similar majors. Employers recognize that applicants who have international experience are more likely to possess the qualities in demand by our global economy. Kettering University currently offers several International Studies programs. They are listed below by major. All programs are offered in English and listed below by major.

Students whose WAG falls between 80-82 must have a letter recommendation from an academic advisor to be considered for participation. Students who are not in good academic standing or have a judicial record will not be admitted into the program. Information on the specific requirements, including prerequisites, are available for each program in the International Studies Office. Course Work The course work taken through a Kettering University International Studies program is fully applicable toward credits the student's degree program for up to 16 credit hours. These 16 total credit hours include credits from all sources. A grade of 3.7 (equivalent to C or better) is required to receive those credits. Students who usually take 20 credit hours at Kettering University are only permitted to take 16 credit hours while studying abroad. Students concerned that taking a reduced course load during a term abroad may delay graduation may make a written request to the Registrar's Office to take an additional course at Kettering University after their study-abroad term. Students who wish to do so must meet the university's academic criteria. Financial Considerations To encourage undergraduates to participate in the International Studies programs, Kettering University has agreed to provide these terms as relatively “cost neutral” when compared to the expenses for tuition, room, board and transportation during a typical term on campus. Some variation should be expected. All students who opt for an academic term abroad will register for an International Studies term and pay the regular Kettering University tuition. Kettering University will then, in turn, provide students with a $1,500 stipend for the semester that the students are abroad. Students are able to borrow against this stipend up to six months in advance for a small fee. This loan is intended to provide students with funds necessary for purchasing round-trip airline tickets, passports, and any other expense that needs to be covered prior to departure. Students enrolled in a Kettering University International Studies term maintain their regular full-time enrollment status at Kettering University. This means that any Financial Aid or Scholarships are still available for the term abroad. Any concerns in this area can be brought to the Financial Aid office. Orientation Students enrolled in a International Studies term are required to attend orientation. The orientation will provide practical, logistical, and cultural information to prepare for studying and living overseas. Application Application materials are posted online at the International Studies web page (www.kettering.edu/academic services/international_studies). Students are encouraged to apply for a program one year in advance of the term that they wish to complete their International Studies since these programs have limited spaces available. The Office of International Studies is located in Room 3-342, Academic Building. For more information, contact Academic Services by phone; 800-955-4464 ext. 9775.
