Founded in 1966 and accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Piedmont Technical College offers a wide variety of career studies programs that students can complete in two years or less, and transfer opportunities to four-year colleges and universities. High school graduates looking for practical education that will quickly prepare them for a rewarding career, those looking for a starting place before heading to a university, or anyone returning to school to further his or her education will find Piedmont Tech a perfect fit. With locations in each of the seven counties we serve--Abbeville, Edgefield, Greenwood, Laurens, McCormick, Newberry and Saluda--as well as an online campus accessible anywhere there’s an internet connection, we work to make the advantages of higher education available to everyone, regardless of their personal circumstances or previous educational preparation.
