I'm wondering if it would be easier to get an AA or even a BALS from somewhere inexpensively, and then transfer into the OTA program and be able to take a lot fewer courses (hard to see what they require, so hard to say)?
Other than the 4 prerequisite courses, which appear that they have to be completed or in progress in order to enter the program, there aren't many other classes that look like they could be found elsewhere.
