Academic Requirements
Students applying for an International Studies term must be in good academic standing and have a waiver signed by their academic advisor.
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;
