Begin at Greenville Tech and finish at the College of Charleston

Want to graduate from the College of Charleston?

Now there’s an alternate route you can take to reach your goal. The College of Charleston Collaboration (C3) is a partnership that provides prospective freshman transfer students with advising and academic support for a successful transition from Greenville Tech to the College of Charleston. You’ll begin your bachelor’s degree in Greenville Tech’s University Transfer program, where you’ll complete two semesters, and transfer to the College of Charleston if you meet the GPA requirement.

Greenville Tech’s University Transfer program is the starting point for students who go on to dozens of different colleges and university in South Carolina and beyond. Classes are relatively small, similar to what you’ll find at the College of Charleston. In fact, the average class size is just 21 students, so it’s an environment that allows you to gain confidence and to get plenty of attention from caring instructors.

Plus, in the C3 program, you’ll take the College Skills (COL 103) course at Greenville Tech, which can teach you study and time management skills that will help you succeed every step of the way.

Transfer is guaranteed.

As long as you meet the GPA requirement for the courses you take at Greenville Tech, admittance to College of Charleston as a sophomore is guaranteed. By starting at Greenville Tech, you can concentrate on academic requirements in a supportive environment. Once you transfer, you’ll have the confidence that comes with academic success.

Live where you learn.
