Is it possible to do only part time OTA?

[@TryingNotCrying]

From what I’ve researched, yes. I am also only looking into it as a hs student. But I’ve heard it’s a flexible job

@@TryingNotCrying Hey, since you are also a student as I am I was also interested in the OTA program. I am wondering if you can help me with my situation.I study at passaic county community college, I am currently completing my prerequisites and I’m planning on transferring to a 4 year college after that .So how can i know which universities in New Jersey offer that program?

[@TryingNotCrying]

@@nournasereddin3236 Actually I’m only in high school, not even on college yet. And I don’t live on NJ, but to be honest, I’d just google it. And maybe ask around at your college? Don’t you have an advisor or anything? Other than that I do not know how to help you. Sorry. But I thought it only took a two year degree to become an ota anyway. Why are you going for a bachelors?

[@dahjiat.8562]

@@nournasereddin3236 idk if you’ve figured it out but the easiest way is just to look up colleges near you then checking their websites to see if they offer the program you’re looking for. sometimes it’s not super specific, but it’ll be a slightly broader program that includes what you’re looking for.
