Its curricula integrates the Ohio Department of Higher Education’s (ODHE) Ohio Transfer Module (OTM), which allows students’ general education coursework to become transferable within the state.
The A.S. degree requires a minimum of 60 hours. Areas of emphasis might include math and physics if you are preparing for an engineering degree or biology/chemistry if you are preparing for a pre-med degree.
