Quality education at a
fraction of the price.
Consider this: The average cost of tuition at a public university in South Carolina is $12,848 a year. The average cost at one of our technical colleges? $4,465. That’s a savings of more than $8000 per year. A technical education isn’t only a smart academic choice, it’s a financially savvy choice that sets your student up for a better start in life.
A foundation
for the future.
Whether your child completes their education at a technical college or transfers to complete elsewhere, our colleges offer a solid academic foundation that sets our students up for success wherever they go. With transfer agreements at more than 22 colleges and universities in the state, we make it simple for your student to get a start here and then transfer to a four-year university.
