Individual general education courses for COTC’s 50+ programs or transfer-friendly credit to other state universities are also available.
Plus, high school students participate in our College Credit Plus program earning transfer-friendly college credit – some finishing a certificate or associate degree before they earn their high school diploma – and saving thousands on their college tuition.

Many four-year colleges and universities will transfer most if not all COTC credit coursework into an established program at the four-year institution. An articulation agreement between COTC and a four-year institution is a guarantee to the COTC student that specific coursework taken at COTC will enable that student to be granted transfer credit into a particular program at the four-year institution.
