The Associate in Science with a concentration in Biology is designed to serve students who wish to take courses to transfer into a four-year college or university that offers a baccalaureate degree with a major in Biology or related fields. This two-year degree program is intended to be equivalent to the first two years of the degree requirements for the chosen major at the student’s four-year college or university. The student’s desired transfer institution will be the ultimate authority on course transfer and degree applicability, and the student and advisor can further refine course choices in the degree planning process.
Biology is the study of life including structure, growth, reproduction, diversity, and the interactions between organisms and their environment. It applies the systematic scientific method of inquiry, observations, hypothesis, experimentation, and data analysis before reaching a conclusion. It uses critical thinking skills to solve biological questions. The laboratory hours give students hands-on practice in the concepts and principles introduced in the classroom. Students have the opportunity to use laboratory instrumentation and procedures that will carry over to related scientific fields. A Biology concentration is recommended for students who wish to pursue further studies in Biological Sciences such as Anatomy and Physiology, Zoology, Botany, Microbiology, Genetics, Cell Biology, Environmental Sciences, Marine Biology, and Ecology, among others.

Programs offered within Engineering Technologies and Engineering 2+2 are designed to provide a highly skilled and competent workforce to support the economic development of the Greater Midlands.
Engineering Technology degree programs include Architectural Engineering Technology, Civil Engineering Technology, Electronics Engineering Technology, and Mechanical Engineering Technology.
The disciplines within Engineering Technologies have developed flexible certificate programs designed for students who wish to specialize in a specific area of employment. These certificates also give those in the workforce opportunities to upgrade their skills on state-of-the-art equipment. The certificate curricula are reviewed and updated frequently in response to industry demands, so the student is cautioned to discuss certificate choices and course selections with an Engineering advisor before each registration cycle.
Engineering Technologies also offers a customized Associate Degree in General Technology (AGT), which allows students to plan an individual program of study to meet specific educational goals. These goals can be tailored to the student’s interests and the demands of a specific industry such as in Chemical Technology. The AGT is also used for students who wish to pursue a four-year degree in Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, or Integrated Information Technology.
Students wishing to pursue a four-year Engineering degree can enroll in the Engineering Fundamentals (2+2) degree and choose a concentration. Such concentrations include Aerospace Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Under a long-standing articulation agreement between Midlands Technical College and the University of South Carolina, the College of Engineering and Computing at the University of South Carolina accepts courses from Midlands Technical College for the first two years of the bachelor’s degree for several engineering disciplines. Students who complete the Engineering Fundamentals degree and have an overall GPA of 2.75 or higher can apply to transfer to the College of Engineering and Computing at the University of South Carolina as a junior.
Students wishing to pursue a bachelor's degree in Architecture can enroll in the Associate in Arts with a concentration in Architecture degree. While this pathway was designed specifically for students who wish to pursue a four-year Architecture degree at Clemson University, the curriculum will prepare students to be successful at any institution that offers a bachelor's degree program in architecture. Completion of this degree will allow for students to transfer to a bachelor's program with a significant portion of their first two years of work completed.

Science with Concentration in Mathematics
The Associate in Science with a concentration in Mathematics is designed to serve students who wish to take courses to transfer into a four-year college or university that offers a baccalaureate degree with a major in Mathematics or Statistics. This two-year degree program is intended to be equivalent to the first two years of the degree requirements for the chosen major at the student’s four-year college or university. The student’s desired transfer institution will be the ultimate authority on course transfer and degree applicability, and the student and advisor can further refine course choices in the degree planning process.
