Program Code: NA.OTM
The OTM represents approximately half of an associate’s degree (45 credits). The OTM is designed for students who wish to transfer to a public university in Oregon or another Oregon community college. Completion of the OTM can help those students taking courses at multiple post-secondary institutions by ensuring transferability of coursework. This is not a degree or certificate but is documentation on a student’s transcript that they have met a subset of common general education requirements. Students interested in the OTM should meet with an academic advisor in Student Services.
Complete 45 credits from the following:
