Several programs at PTC are designed with transferability in mind. University Transfer coursework is drawn from the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education’s list of 86 courses approved to transfer to all two- and four-year public institutions in South Carolina. Piedmont Technical College continues to forge new agreements with private four-year colleges as well.
Relevant Training. Guaranteed.
