COTC Offers Accelerated 8-week Courses Beginning March 8

Central Ohio Technical College (COTC) is adapting to meet students’ current needs by offering a selection of general education courses during the second term of its spring semester in an accelerated format (eight weeks versus 15 weeks).

All courses will be taught remotely, offering peace of mind during the continuing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The courses offered can count toward an associate degree at COTC or transfer to any public college or university in the state of Ohio, offering students another flexible option to pursue a degree during the pandemic. For students who want to fast-track their career by earning a technical degree at COTC but were unable to begin in January, second-term classes are a great opportunity to get started now on a degree path. Students can also work toward a bachelor’s degree at a fraction of the cost by completing these transfer-friendly courses, many of which are freshman and sophomore courses found at four-year universities.

Second-term courses begin on March 8. COTC’s free application for admission is due March 1, and the last day to register for classes is March 8. These courses are financial aid eligible for students enrolled in a degree pathway at COTC. To be considered for financial aid, students must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at studentaid.ed.gov. Coshocton County residents may be eligible for free tuition through COTC’s Coshocton Promise. Learn more at go.cotc.edu/promise.
