Can I take classes online or face-to-face?
Students can complete the fire science technology associate
degree online except for the hands-on firefighter training,
which is offered in person at one of our partner locations: C-TEC
or The Ohio Fire Academy. The fire science technology associate
degree offers both in person and online courses.
What type of financial assistance is available to help me pay for
college?
COTC awards more than $1 million in scholarships to students
each year.
Every student is encouraged to complete a Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for grants,
scholarships, and loans.
Students who complete a FAFSA are automatically considered for
some scholarships. Other scholarships
require an application.

Can I pursue a bachelor’s degree after I complete the associate
degree?

college or university. COTC has a transfer

University of Cincinnati.
