Since 1982, and with over 2,100 students studying online, Kettering University (KU) Graduate Studies Office has been offering distance education and online graduate degrees. Students may enroll in the Master of Business Administration degree program and eight Master of Science degrees. Graduate classes are held in a high-tech production studio - where classes are digitally captured and recorded on CD-ROMs, DVDs, and Internet videostreaming spot, the airport, or any other remote location at which they have access to a computer, DVD player, or the Internet. Additionally, KU partners with hundreds of local, regional, and global companies, as well as local community colleges, to offer graduate programs to off-campus students at more than 100 Learning Centers and Proctoring Centers worldwide, including North America, Europe, and Asia. A Learning or Proctoring Center is usually located at a company worksite or community college and provides students with the convenience of having their course exams proctored at the site. New students may work with KU to establish a Learning or Proctoring Center at their worksite if they do not live or work near an existing one.
