Greenville Technical College in Greenville, South Carolina, and six of the Palmetto State’s historically black colleges and universities signed an agreement Thursday, August 9th, establishing closer ties and easier transfer opportunities.
The ceremony was held at the J. Verne Smith Center on the campus of Greenville Technical College.
Wanda Clark, Greenville Tech’s Associate Vice President for Education, explaine that the articulation agreement creates a seamless transition between Greenville Tech and the four-year-colleges. Prescribed courses taken at Greenville Tech will be accepted by the four-year destinations, so the process is smooth and efficient.
Greenville Technical College President, Dr. Thomas E. Barton, expressed his strong support for the accomplishment as he signed the agreement with each of the institutions.
The agreement provides a stronger Upstate presence for Allen University, Benedict College, Claflin University, Morris College, and Voorhees College while adding to the presence of South Carolina State University, which has been involved with Upstate students for many years through the University Center of Greenville.
Students can save money on basic courses by attending Greenville Tech, where tuition and fees for Fall Semester can be reduced to $781 for Greenville County residents studying full time and qualifying for education lottery tuition assistance, a Greenville Tech spokesman said. In addition, Greenville Tech has recently added on-campus student housing, a convenience that will reduce the cost of travel, as the price of fuel increases.
