Welcome to OCtech
Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College is one of the most well-respected and well-regarded higher education institutions in South Carolina. Our graduates, across all programs, are sought after by many employers. Additionally, our students have opportunities to transfer seamlessly to many colleges and universities in South Carolina.
We are a student-centered institution and work to provide flexible options to meet the needs of all students.

Our most valuable resource, the faculty and staff, are a committed group of professionals dedicated to the success of our students. We all work tirelessly in support of achieving our mission, “to provide relevant training and education in a flexible environment that promotes success and self-reliance for students, and fosters economic development for the region.” As a result, we serve a dual purpose – to prepare students for successful careers and to provide a quality workforce to employers in our region.
