This option is designed to facilitate the transfer of Piedmont Technical College students into the University of South Carolina's Electronic Engineering program. The option is part of the college's partnership efforts with the University's College of Engineering and Computing to establish a pathway and coordinated advising system. These courses are the equivalent of the first year at USC's Electrical Engineering Bachelor of Science program.
Piedmont Technical College students may apply for admission to the USC College of Engineering and Computing through USC's Office of Admissions after successful completion of a minimum of 30 semester hours of the transfer program at Piedmont Technical College. Piedmont Technical College students must maintain an overall grade point average of at least 2.75 to be eligible for admission to USC.

Advisement Information
-
For transfer to USC in Electrical Engineering, students must have a minimum 2.75 GPA.
-
Although the cut score for SAT math is 480 for MAT 140, advisors need to make sure that students have completed pre-calculus successfully in high school. If in doubt about readiness for success in MAT 140, advise students to take the math/algebra placement test for clearer guidelines about placement into the appropriate level of math.
-
Other general education courses beyond the 39 credit hours required for the EET7 certificate may be taken before transfer to USC. See the USC Transfer Credit Guide for other courses required for the Electrical Engineering Bachelor's Degree.
-
Recent high school graduates need to be screened for Project Lead the Way (PLTW) credits. "Have you completed any PLTW courses in high school?" needs to be one of the first questions asked. The Admissions office should send a copy of the student's high school transcript to Sandy Warner to review for exemption credit for PLTW courses.
