Opportunities for Talent Development (OTD)
Meeting the educational needs of middle and high school students who learn at a pace well ahead of their classmates presents special challenges for school districts and parents. To satisfy these needs, Central Michigan University's Opportunities for Talent Development (OTD) program provides quality educational opportunities through its accelerated mathematics and advanced science classes.

OTD program features the Central Accelerated Mathematics Program (CAMP)

math in two years, and the Intermediate Interdisciplinary Science (IIS)
courses, which are designed for academically talented students expressly
interested in science.
