I'm making this rating on behalf of the Hearing Instrument Science Program at OTC. I loved OTC as a school, great place to get an education. However, DO NOT join the HIS program! Complete waste of time and money. The instructors were cliquey and rude. You graduate completely underprepared for the workforce. I work in the field and have yet to pass my licensing exam that they assured had a 99% pass rate when I was signing up for the program (I've talked to alumni who also haven't passed after at least 3x). I've taken it 2x and have paid over $500 so far. Pretty ridiculous, I'm trying to pass an exam for something I'm already doing. They also forgot to mention that there are NO jobs in Springfield. You have to relocate. The instructors gave no focus on the matter of sales techniques. The entire field revolves around sales with most clinics being commission only. It's a racquet. I have coworkers who got licensed on the 1st try through the IHS Learning Course (only $900 and takes weeks).
Most of the instructors are very accommodating. Classes are structured well and generally easy to keep up with. OTC offers many different programs and certifications. Tuition is incredibly affordable and the vast majority of students receive financial aid. Dozens of OTC Foundation scholarships are available to current and incoming students. They also accept more transfer credits than the average college.
As a non-traditional student with a fulltime job, I found the online courses to be completely manageable. However, if there are subjects that you struggle with, I wouldn't recommend taking them online because there is very little instruction in this format.
The in-person classes I took were engaging and I feel like I actually learned something from them. The instructors in the Agriculture program were very knowledgeable and had good connections to offer their students. The program director was willing to work with students who needed to make course substitutions for their degree.

I've only had one semester here, so I can't really say much. However, I deeply enjoyed my classes and my professors! My professors were extremely helpful, and clearly cared about my education. Anytime I had any questions, they always answered them as best as they could. The campus location is beautiful and easy to locate. Parking can be a little bit of a hassle, but all things considered it isn't too bad. My biggest complaint is it's a little hard to find classes and rooms in the buildings. It pretty easy to get lost in the various buildings, even after I had been in class a couple of times. I'm also unsure about the location of the counseling services. Even after being given a tour of one of the buildings, I still can't find things. Other than that it's a great school!
