About Ozarks Technical Community College
Ozarks Technical Community College was founded in 1990 as the result of a vote by Springfield and thirteen surrounding public school districts.

The main campus is located on 40 acres in Springfield, Missouri, while the other two campuses are located in Ozarks and Hollister.
