President’s Message

Our mission is to transform lives through education and over the past few years, we’ve committed to a campus transformation in step with that mission. From the Prisma Health Center for Health & Life Sciences on the Barton Campus to the Center for Welding and Automation Excellence coming soon to the Brashier Campus, we’re creating engaging learning environments that offer the latest technology and tools. 

On our campuses and in our classrooms, you will find relevant education that delivers what you need to enter the job market, move up within your field, or transfer to a four-year institution. Whatever your goal, we are here to help you achieve it. From the moment you begin your GTC journey until the day we celebrate your success at commencement, we provide the resources and the support you need to complete your classes, move ahead with your educational plans, and graduate. If you face an obstacle, we’ll help you overcome it with tutoring, counseling, help with basic needs, a Center for Collegiate Recovery, and much more.

We take pride in some of our recent awards – Greenville County Schools Partner of the Year, Distinguished Partnership Award from Clemson University, top ranking in the state for dual enrollment, and first in South Carolina for online education. But we take even greater pride in the students we graduate, knowing that they have the foundation to accomplish any goal. 

Best wishes in all that you undertake! Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. 

Keith Miller, Ph.D.
President
Greenville Technical College
