Overview

The One-Year Option allows graduates of Ohio Technical Centers (OTC) who complete a 600 or greater hour program and obtain an industry-recognized credential(s) to earn a block of technical credit toward an Associate of Technical Study (Type B). The goal of this Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) initiative is to create a statewide agreement for awarding technical credit in addition to current statewide agreements such as Career-Technical Assurance Guides (CTAGs). Eligible students will be awarded 20-30 semester credit hours of block credit for the approved OTC program toward the relevant 60 semester hour ATS degree.

BENEFITS OF THE PROGRAM

• Complete your associate degree with 30-40 credits

• Flexible class options (daytime, evening, online)

• Advance your career and earnings potential

• Complete the ATS and be eligible for admission to the Bachelor's of Technical & Applied Studies in Applied Administration

Career

This general degree is a good fit for those with a professional certification or credential in job positions where the employer is neutral as to the degree earned.
