About the Program

OCtech’s University Transfer Program creates specialized transfer pathways to four-year colleges and universities so that you can start working on a bachelor’s degree now. More than 80 courses offered at OCtech will transfer to any South Carolina public college or university and to most private colleges in the state.

There are many advantages to starting your college career at OCtech, including:

• Tuition savings
• Smoother transition from high school to college academics
• Variety of programs
• Small classes
• Articulation agreements and bridge programs with several South Carolina colleges and universities
• ​The Presidential Scholars Program

OCtech can save you thousands of dollars per year, when compared with the tuition costs at a typical in-state four-year institution. High school graduating seniors with a cumulative 3.0 grade point average can attend OCtech at little or no cost with the Life Scholarship. See a financial aid counselor for more information.

Use the SC TRAC tool to make sure your OCtech credits will transfer to the South Carolina college or university of your choice.
