Greenville Technical College is a public community college in Greenville, South Carolina. Established in 1960, it began operation in September 1962.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $6,246/year net cost and $8,604 in median debt, this is one of the most affordable paths to a credential in the region, making it a smart starting point for students watching their budget. However, the 18% graduation rate is a serious concern — most students who enroll don't finish — so you'll want to honestly assess your own support system and commitment before enrolling. If you complete a program, median earnings of $34,700 a decade out are modest, so this fits best as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer or a targeted technical certification with clear local job demand.
