Passport Block
GTC’s vision of general education prepares students to enter a dynamic future as informed citizens, productive professionals, and lifelong learners through courses that promote creativity, artistic expression, research, and critical thought for students to meet their specific educational goals. Students who earn an Interstate Passport from GTC and transfer to another member institution will be recognized as having completed their lower-division general education coursework. To receive an Interstate Passport, students must complete, with a grade of C or better, Greenville Technical College’s general education requirements, which are in keeping with the South Carolina State Technical System’s model and align with the outcomes of the Interstate Passport. Many of the passport outcomes are reinforced across multiple courses.
