Students are allowed some flexibility in planning the courses to be taken at Otero Junior College. A student’s vocational and academic educational objectives require careful planning. Students who change majors may take longer to graduate or may transfer with a loss of credit.
Students successfully completing either a prescribed Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree program at Otero Junior College will be able to transfer to a Colorado four-year college or university as a junior. The college maintains transfer agreements with Colorado colleges and universities to facilitate the transferability of its academic programs.
