The Associate of Arts in English Program is designed for students who intend to transfer to a four-year institution to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in English or related field. The required courses and electives will train students to analyze ideas and synthesize them into a research document. Upon completing their coursework, students should be able to make reasoned arguments or write compelling stories. Students in need can use The Writing Center, and some students may have the opportunity to publish their work in OTC’s Go Anywhere Literary Magazine. Graduates will have the necessary academic background to begin upper-division coursework in the discipline. Students planning to transfer should contact the school they will be attending to ensure their credits transfer properly.

Admission to Ozarks Technical Community College is open to all individuals who can benefit from its educational programs. A focus of the college mission is on the academic, career and personal goals of the student. OTC may admit you as a First-Time student just completing their high school, GED or HiSET requirements or as a Transfer student coming from another institution finishing up a certificate or degree.
