Transfer Options
Students planning to transfer and pursue a bachelor’s degree in engineering are strongly urged to utilize Greenville Technical College’s academic advising services. The transfer process for specific career pathways is very specific and leaves little opportunity for error in choosing classes. It is very important that students discuss curriculum and transfer requirements with their assigned academic advisor and with a transfer advisor at the four-year institution of their choice. It is most beneficial to the student if these discussions begin as soon as the choice to transfer to a four-year institution has been made.
- Graduates may continue their education toward a Bachelor of Engineering Technology degree at a South Carolina state university or other out-of-state colleges offering a BSEET degree.
- Graduates may continue their education at the University of South Carolina-Upstate for a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Technology Management under a 2+2 cooperative agreement.
- Students with engineering transfer credit(s) may choose the substitute courses as listed for the EET course.
