SC Technical College Transfer

Engineering Pathways: From Tech to Clemson

Start Your Clemson Degree at a SC Technical College

Many students choose to begin their Engineering or Computing majors at a local technical college and then transfer to Clemson to complete their bachelor's degree. With advanced planning and the use of Clemson's resources, you can ensure that you stay on target with the courses you select to ensure transferability and academic preparedness when you begin your studies at Clemson.

Students can complete their first year student-level Math, Science, English, and General Education courses at any of our SC Technical Schools. Some schools even offer our freshman-level Engineering and Computing courses. Start by knowing which courses you need in your desired B.S. major's curriculum. Then, match those courses with the courses you can take now that will transfer to Clemson. This will make your transition much smoother and ease the frustration and time loss of unnecessary coursework and excess elective credits.

SC Technical Colleges

South Carolina has 16 colleges in the technical college system spread throughout the state, providing easy access to all SC residents. You can also see the General Education course equivalency options available for transfer to Clemson by requirement.

NOTE: General Education requirements have changed during recent catalog years, and credit may vary based on the catalog year curriculum a student selects. Make sure you are looking at the requirements for the calendar year you are eligible to follow. Students in the previous year's curricula may be eligible to revert to those requirements if they are different. We recommend you meet with our Transfer Coordinator to discuss your options.
