The Interdepartmental Studies Program is designed to provide a broad foundation of knowledge for students and to allow them to create a course of study that complements their career goals. Although the A.I.S. is a non-transferable degree, individual courses required for this degree may transfer, but might not necessarily fulfill the general education requirements at a four-year institution. Students pursuing this degree will complete only 19 hours of general education courses while they will choose 43 hours of electives. Students can use these electives to explore different areas of interest while rounding out their education. This degree gives students maximum flexibility to create their own programs of study. Students should consult their faculty advisers when registering for courses to ensure their choices match their career goals.

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.
