Transfer Opportunities:

University of South Carolina, Columbia
The Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Transfer Certificates are designed to facilitate the transfer of PTC students into the USC Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering programs. These courses are the equivalent of the first year of USC's electrical engineering or mechanical engineering B. S. program.

South Carolina State University
The comprehensive transfer program allows students who complete their Associate of Science degree in either MET or EET at PTC to transfer their courses into SCSU’s Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology (BSEET) degree or the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology (BSMET) degree programs. All course work is completed at the PTC’s Greenwood campus.

University of South Carolina, Upstate
PTC students who earn an Engineering Technology Associate Degree can transfer credit hours toward USC Upstate’s Engineering Technology Management B.S. program. The program allows students to complete up to 76 credit hours of the required 127 credit hours at PTC.
