Central Ohio Technical College has articulation agreements that enable Tech Prep high school students to have dual enrollment status at the college, so they are earning both high school and college credits at the same time during their junior and senior years. COTC also has consortium-wide articulation agreements.
Columbus State Community College has articulation agreements for this College Tech Prep program by which high school graduates may qualify for college credit for certain technical courses within the designated associate degree programs.
Ohio University Chillicothe and Lancaster Campuses offer a pathway upon completion of an Associate Degree for a Bachelor of Technical and Applied Science. The Bachelor of Technical and Applied Science Degree is an opportunity for a student who has completed or is completing a two-year technical degree program from an accredited community college, regional campus, or technical college who wishes to pursue a baccalaureate degree. The program provides a student with knowledge and skills to have the opportunity for advancement in a career and integrates the technical skills of the technical degree with the professional skills of courses from the bachelor’s degree courses. The BTAS degree utilizes 96 hours of associate degree credit, of which 36-45 hours must be in a technical field.
