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.

Listed below is the ideal grouping of courses in order by semester. This plan assumes a full-time schedule. Note, however, that many variables can affect this plan, and not every course is offered every semester. Please see your advisor to map out your own personalized progression toward graduation.

The course schedule listed above is designed for students who place into ENG 101 English Composition I* and MAT 110 College Algebra* (or MAT 140 Analytical Geometry and Calculus I*) based on the placement test. Students who are taking prerequisite courses for ENG 101 English Composition I* and MAT 110 College Algebra* should contact their academic advisor for recommended courses.

Note: Please contact your advisor for recommended evening schedules.
