2011-2012 CATALOG - Ozarks Technical Community College

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Welcome to Ozarks Technical Community College.
Since opening its doors in 1991, Ozarks Technical Community College has been an integral part
of the success of thousands of our citizens. Twenty years later, our institution continues to play
an important role in our community. Whether through technical education, academic instruction,
workforce development opportunities, community enrichment or other programs and services, we
are constantly working to meet the needs of our neighbors.
We are continuing to grow our Allied Health programs and our Center for Workforce Development,
providing well-qualifi ed workers for local industries. Additionally, with new academic agreements
designed to allow our graduates to complete their bachelor’s degree online, we are making it
easier than ever for our students to continue their education, and to be fully prepared for today’s
competitive job market.
Please take a few moments to review the variety of courses focused on professional and personal
development, as well as hands-on training and opportunities for growth. If you would like
additional information on our college credit programs, online courses, or a General Education
Diploma, please visit www.otc.edu or stop by one of our campuses or regional education centers.
I am excited about the future of this community, and about Ozarks Technical Community College’s
role in providing educational opportunities for the citizens of Southwest Missouri.
Sincerely,
Hal L. Higdon, Ph.D.
President
