Business Management Diploma

Tuition is $372 per quarter credit, $1,488 for a four-credit course, and fees are charged by quarter. For distance education the consumer handbook adds a $25 per credit technology fee, making each four-credit course $1,588 and the program’s tuition and technology fees $22,232. The two enrollment fees are the same amounts in both documents, but they are described differently: the catalog calls them a fully refundable $100 registration fee and a $25 application fee, both refunded if you cancel within 7 days, while the consumer handbook calls them a $100 application fee and a non-refundable $25 Ohio Student Disclosure Form fee. A $7.50 transcript fee can also apply. Course books and online resources come through Cengage Unlimited, included in tuition and fees; the catalog puts the retail list price of this program’s textbooks at $2,850.

Paying for school. GTC’s programs are Title IV approved, so eligible students can use Federal Pell Grants and Federal Direct Loans; list federal school code 042690 on the FAFSA. The programs are also approved for VA education benefits for eligible veterans and dependents. Students who are not eligible for federal aid can use deferred payment plans, and payments can be made by cash, check, money order or credit card. Payment or scholarship documents are due before each quarter’s classes start. GTC’s consumer handbook also publishes a sample cost-of-attendance budget with estimated living expenses, and students get free loan repayment counseling through IonTuition.

Cancellations and refunds. You can cancel your enrollment agreement within 14 calendar days of signing, before classes start, for a full refund of tuition and refundable fees, paid within 30 days; applicants who are not accepted, and students who never start, are also refunded. After that, refunds for a withdrawal are prorated by your last date of attendance within the 12-week term, following the same calculation as the federal Return of Title IV Funds and applying to every student regardless of funding source. GTC charges no administrative, withdrawal or cancellation fee.

The catalog maps the business programs to the O*NET occupation First-Line Supervisors of Office and Administrative Support Workers. Job titles it names include accounting assistant supervisor, accounts payable or receivable coordinator, administrative coordinator, customer service supervisor, office coordinator, office supervisor and staff services coordinator, as well as starting your own business.

Graduates can look for roles in offices of all kinds, from small businesses to banks, retailers and service companies, where supervising administrative work, handling payroll and accounting tasks, coordinating projects and communicating with customers are daily work. GTC does not publish graduation or job placement rates on its website or in its catalog, and it does not guarantee employment.

Global Tech College was founded in 2012 and is based at 5555 Airport Hwy, Suite 130, Toledo, Ohio, its only location.

Faculty are evaluated every year under ACCET and Ohio State Board standards, and small class sizes are intended to give each student individual attention.

GTC’s programs are approved for VA education benefits, and the college offers IonTuition, a free student loan repayment counseling service, to its students.
