The Greenville Tech student body is quite diverse. With an average age of 26, students attending Greenville Tech include recent high school graduates, adults returning to college for training or retraining, displaced homemakers returning to the workforce, single parents who need child care assistance, and people with special needs. During the last six years, the college received state funds for equipment in only one year - 1997. Greenville Tech wants to maintain an attractive campus because appearance can make a lasting impression. Greenville Tech takes good care of its grounds, buildings and interiors because it must provide a positive environment for learning and for industrial prospects who visit the college to assess our ability to deliver employee training.
Preventive maintenance pays dividends, while putting maintenance off can cost dearly.
Greenville Tech is the largest post-secondary college in the county. As a public college, it is charged with providing a wide range of educational opportunities and services, including technical career training and the first two years of college transfer preparation. Greenville Tech offers an affordable option for students who, without the lower cost of education, would be unable to start college. Furthermore, Greenville Tech works in partnership with area colleges and universities to facilitate the transfer of credits for those seeking four-year degrees. Through the evaluations and recommendations provided by these advisory committees, Greenville Tech adapts course work to the changing work environment.
