Renovation 2020-2021: What’s New
The Pataskala campus has reopened for classes after a $4.2 million renovation. The project included a complete renovation of 16,000 square feet of the building’s interior. Key upgrades include:
- Nursing and allied health skills labs
- Science and computer labs
- Digital media technology lab
- Classroom and academic support spaces
- Student collaboration spaces
- Testing center
- Heating, ventilation, air conditioning and fire suppression systems
The renovation enables COTC to expand academic offerings in the high-demand fields of nursing and information technology, among possible others. The renovated facility’s increased capacity will allow more students convenient access to COTC’s affordable associate degrees and certificates and help local employers fill demand for skilled workers. Students benefit from modern classroom, lab and study spaces conducive to learning in a technology-driven world.

Degrees and Certificates at Pataskala
COTC offers several transfer degrees and career-ready associate degrees and certificates in full at the Pataskala campus* through a combination of in-person and remote learning.**
Individual general education courses for COTC’s 50+ programs or transfer-friendly credit to other state universities are also available.
Plus, high school students participate in our College Credit Plus program earning transfer-friendly college credit – some finishing a certificate or associate degree before they earn their high school diploma – and saving thousands on their college tuition.
Career-ready Associate Degrees
Gain the skills for a new career or career advancement in as little as 16 months:
Nursing:
- LPN to Associate Degree Nursing (spring semester)
- Paramedic to Associate Degree Nursing (autumn semester)
Many four-year colleges and universities will transfer most if not all COTC credit coursework into an established program at the four-year institution. An articulation agreement between COTC and a four-year institution is a guarantee to the COTC student that specific coursework taken at COTC will enable that student to be granted transfer credit into a particular program at the four-year institution. Learn more about COTC Articulation Agreements.
Career-ready Certificates
Gain the skills for a career in one or two semesters. COTC certificates also count toward an associate degree, helping students advance on a long-term career path:
Healthcare:
- Electrocardiograph Technician (spring semester)
- Patient Care Technician Certificate (autumn semester)
- Phlebotomy Certificate (autumn semester)
Nursing:
- Practical Nursing Certificate (autumn semester)
- State Tested Nurse Aide (STNA) Certificate (autumn, spring and summer semesters)

College Credit Plus
Six of the top eight fastest-growing public school districts in central Ohio are located within 17 miles of the Pataskala campus. College-ready students in grades seven through 12 earn college and high school credits at the same time by taking courses through COTC.
Through a partnership with Reynoldsburg City School’s eSTEM Academy, students can complete COTC’s CCP computer information technology pathway at the Pataskala campus and earn credit toward an associate degree.
*While we make every effort to run the following programs in full at the Pataskala campus, some courses and/or programs may be canceled due to low enrollment.
**Remote learning options include courses that are delivered online, via Zoom or in our video-connected classrooms. View all learning formats.

Regular admission to a degree or certificate program is open to all who have earned a high school diploma, completed homeschooling at the secondary level or passed the General Education Development (GED) test.
