Our take
Greenville Technical College, Benson Campus program assessment
Why it stands out
- The 95.6% multi-year NBCOT average gives a more dependable read than the latest result alone; the range bottoms out at 88%.
- The distance component creates real scheduling flexibility while preserving the in-person labs and clinical work required for an OT or OTA degree.
Tradeoffs that matter
- The five-year record fell as low as 88%. That variability matters more than a strong latest year because the result has not been equally dependable across cohorts.
- Its #57 overall ota programs placement does not separate it from the strongest national options on the measures used in that comparison.
- This degree leads to OTA practice, not the occupational therapist credential. It is a different role with a different scope of practice, not a shorter version of the same job.
What to compare next
- Compare this OTA pathway with nearby programs on fieldwork geography, graduation timing, and the local assistant roles available after certification.
- Use the 95.6% five-year NBCOT average and 88% low year when comparing outcomes; they say more about consistency than the latest 88% result alone.
- Compare the actual in-person calendar with other hybrid programs, especially lab blocks and fieldwork locations that the distance percentage does not remove.

Applicant read
How the program's structure changes the decision
Degree level, delivery format, and accreditation timing create different kinds of value even when two programs have similar outcomes.
Degree path
This is an OTA pathway, so compare commute, supervision model, fieldwork placement support, local OTA role availability, and bridge-plan optionality before enrolling.
Format fit
The distance component can reduce weekly classroom travel, but it does not remove lab, practical-exam, or fieldwork obligations. Its value depends on how much flexibility remains after those in-person blocks are counted.
Accreditation review context
ACOTE lists the next review window as 2025/2026. This is scheduling context, not a quality grade; confirm the program's current status and any review outcome directly with ACOTE.
