This means that a student who passes a class in the business department with an 80% or better can have that course put on his/her transcript at OTC and will not be required to retake that course if it is required for his/her degree program. All students are encouraged, but not required to take advantage of this no charge opportunity to get a head start on continuing their education.Personal Finance is a graduation requirement for all students. Students must have one Practical Art credit in addition to passing Personal Finance in order to meet the requirements for graduation. The business department offers students valuable skills that will help them whether they are going directly into the workforce after graduation or continue their education.
