Degree Works Transfer Equivalency Tool

General Information

The Degree Works Transfer Equivalency tool provides prospective and admitted students with an accurate estimation of which college credits will transfer to Kettering University, including AP and IB credits. Kettering’s Degree Works contains a comprehensive database of all courses that have  previously been evaluated from other institutions and is the same tool used by the Registrar’s office to complete an official transcript evaluation once an admitted student submits their deposit.

If a course at your institution is not listed, it either has not previously been evaluated or it does not have an equivalent course at Kettering University. Contact our Associate Director of Transfer Admissions for more information.

General Education Courses

Kettering University requires few General Education courses. Of these, we require Advanced Humanities and Advanced Social Science courses, which are 300- and 400-level courses and are not available at a community college. Therefore, most General Education courses from a community college do not have direct course-for-course equivalents at Kettering.

However, Kettering University does accept the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA), several other statewide general education articulation agreements, and associate degrees toward meeting most of Kettering’s general education requirements. Note that the Degree Works Transfer Equivalency tool will not reflect this in your results. Your report may indicate additional general education courses will need to be completed once you are at Kettering, but this will be clarified during your official transcript evaluation after you deposit.
