If students take a statistics course with us, they will earn an additional 3 credits for a total of 34 credits. Alternatively, students may transfer statistics credits from another regionally accredited institution.
      3. Additional Credits
        Students can earn additional credits through a variety of methods, including:

        • Completing courses at Kettering College
        • Transferring credits from previously attended regionally accredited institutions
        • Earning CLEP credits
        • Gaining validated Continuing Education Units (CEUs) through an internal process

      This process is individualized since students come from various institutions and may have attended multiple colleges.
