Free Electives and Minors

Because all Kettering University students have two free electives to use in their selection of courses, students are able to go beyond the basic requirements and take additional courses to meet their particular needs for breadth in their education.

For students wanting to take more courses in the humanities and social sciences, the department offers minors in history, literature, economics, pre-law, and international studies. A minor consists of four of the upper division courses designated as part of the minor.

“Kettering is known to produce great engineers, but by having a minor in LS more doors can open—opportunities for graduate school and being more appealing to employers looking for well-rounded professionals.”
Jarrad Pouncil, Electrical Engineering, graduating in 2008
