Visit Campus

Overview

Future students, we are excited to offer you a variety of ways to visit and learn who we are and what we offer at Central Ohio Technical College (COTC).

Our favorite way to meet and get to know you a little is in person. Check out our campus visits below and sign up. We look forwarding to seeing you!

If you are unable to join us for an in-person visit, no problem! We know busy schedules can make it difficult to visit in person. Our Virtual Tour below is a great overview of COTC as a whole.
