President’s Message

A recent NBC News poll found that a majority of Americans think that paying for a four-year degree isn’t worthwhile. And among college graduates, more than half said it wasn’t worth the money.

That’s bad news for four-year institutions but good news for Greenville Technical College and the nation’s two-year colleges. People who are looking for a strong return on investment are enrolling here. They are paying reasonable tuition for workforce or transfer-focused education and when they finish, 93% are passing the credentialing exams they need to enter their professions and 92.3% are working in their field or continuing their studies. 

As you can see, I’m bullish on the two-year college sector and the value we add to the economy. I’m proud to see people changing their lives and the future of their families with a Greenville Tech education. I’m glad that you have made the Greenville Technical College choice so that you, too, can receive an affordable education that delivers long-term career benefits.  

Larry Miller, Ph.D.
President
Greenville Technical College
