As a faith-based Christian institution operated by the Seventh-day Adventist church, Kettering College believes that, through your time here, you will learn to care for your patient’s physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Kettering College is owned by the Kettering Medical Center, which is part of an eight-hospital Kettering Health Network (KHN). Four of these facilities are rated among the nation’s top 100 hospitals. In addition to excellent hospitals, KHN operates 60 state-of-the-art outpatient facilities across Dayton, Ohio.

Our faith-based mission Network has a combination of over 8,000 employees, 1,200 physicians, and 1,000 volunteers. Each hospital in our Network is a designated teaching hospital with programs for educating future physicians, nurses, and other medical staff, allowing students to network as they fulfill clinical rotations.

Health care is our specialty. Kettering College has been placing its graduates in the most in-demand areas of health care for 45 years.

FinancesCost can be a determining factor for many people and private higher education costs are rapidly increasing. Because we are owned by Kettering Medical Center, Kettering College can offer you very competitive tuition pricing, compared to local and national private schools. Many private schools do not have this ability and can be double our price.

College is an investment in your future, and we are confident that, at Kettering College, you will be making a smart investment.

Master of Physician Assistant Studies (MPAS)A physician assistant (PA) is a mid-level practitioner who acts as an extension of the physician in making diagnoses and treating patients on a basic level, so that the physician has more time to take care of the more seriously ill patients. Applicants to the MPAS degree at Kettering College must have a bachelor’s degree, with specific prerequisite courses, from a regionally accredited institution or be enrolled in KC’s bachelor’s degree in human biology. The MPAS requires seven semesters of year-round study, starting in May.

Bachelor of Science in Human Biology (Pre-Medicine)The human biology degree at Kettering College provides a unique learning opportunity for persons interested in health-related careers such as medicine, dentistry, physician assistant, physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy. Graduates with a human biology degree can apply to a professional school or university to complete the required graduate study necessary for entry into their chosen profession. This is a four-year degree that also offers a “3+2”-year accelerated option for students interested in applying for KC’s Master of Physician Assistant Studies.

Bachelor of Science in Diagnostic Medical Sonography (Ultrasound)Diagnostic medical sonography uses sound waves (ultrasound) to produce both 2D and 3D dynamic images of tissue, organs, and blood flow inside the human body. Kettering College’s sonography curriculum includes study in all four areas of specialization—abdominal, vascular, obstetrics/gynecology, and echocardiography. The sonography degree at KC requires that students complete a year of prerequisites before applying for entry to the major. Three years of coursework after that leads to a bachelor’s degree in sonography. A bachelor’s completion option also is available for those already possessing associate degrees in sonography.

Areas of StudyThree-Year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (Prelicensure)Registered nurses (RNs) care for and educate individuals, families, communities and populations about various aspects of health care to promote optimum wellness. In the pre-licensure BSN degree at Kettering College, new cohorts enroll each fall; students begin by taking a prerequisite year of general education courses that provides a solid foundation to begin nursing courses in year two of the program. After completing this year of prerequisites, students apply for entry to the nursing major and attend courses year round—fall, winter, and summer semesters—for two more academic years, completing the degree in July.

Associate of Science in Respiratory CareThe primary purpose of respiratory care is to aid the physician in the diagnostic evaluation, treatment, and rehabilitation of patients with lung and/or heart disease. The respiratory care degree at Kettering College is designed to prepare students to function with intelligence, skill, and responsibility in this specialty area. Following successful completion of the second year, students receive an associate degree and are eligible for credentialing examinations offered by the National Board for Respiratory Care. Graduates are encouraged to pursue the respiratory care bachelor’s degree completion option through our BS in health sciences.

Associate of Science in Radiologic TechnologyRadiologic technologists use sophisticated X-ray equipment in imaging body structures and organs to assist the physician in the diagnosis of diseases and injuries. The associate degree in radiologic technology at Kettering College consists of three academic years. After one year (two semesters) of prerequisite courses, the student applies for entry to the radiologic technol-ogy major, then attends courses year round – fall, winter and summer semesters – over a period of two academic years, completing the degree in July.

Associate of Science in Nuclear Medicine TechnologyThe nuclear medicine technologist is a paramedical worker concerned with the use of radioactive materials for physi-cians to diagnose and treat medical conditions. The nuclear medicine course of study at Kettering College is a cooperative educational endeavor with the Nuclear Medicine Institute at the University of Findlay. The first year of the major is spent at KC, acquiring the courses required for admission to the NMI program. The student will spend the first semester of their second year at the Findlay campus and the final two semesters at a clinical site.

Online Bachelor of Science Completion in Nursing The Kettering College BSN completion degree is designed for registered nurses who have an associate degree or its equivalent in nursing. It is the equivalent of the junior and senior years of a four-year baccalaureate degree. All nursing and non-nursing coursework required for the degree is offered online; non-nursing courses are also available on campus. Students may begin the degree any semester and may choose a full-time or part-time pace of study. All coursework must be completed within five (5) years of first enrollment in the degree.

Online Bachelor of Science Completion in Health SciencesKettering College offers a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences designed for those who have obtained an associate degree or its equivalent in health care and wish to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree. Students may choose a full-time or part-time pace of study, in an online learning environment. This degree can enhance career mobility within health care settings and may serve as a foundation for graduate education. Those seeking greater emphasis in specific health care disciplines may choose from majors in education, management, diagnostic medical sonography, respiratory care, or advanced imaging.

Certificates in Advanced ImagingAdvanced imaging is a specialized field in radiologic technology that includes computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), vascular interventional technology (VIT), and cardiovascular interventional technol-ogy (CIT). Students entering Kettering College as graduates of either an associate degree or certificate program in radiologic technology, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, or diagnostic medical sonography may continue their education with several one-semester certificate programs. These may be taken individually or as paired programs that may lead to the BS degree.
