Associate of Science with Concentration in Biology

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.

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.

Mechanical Technology Fundamentals Certificate

The Mechanical Technology Fundamentals certificate is a four-semester 39-credit hour program that addresses the fundamentals of mechanical technology. The program covers fundamentals of instrumentation, statics, material properties, basic electronics, basic computer operation, print reading and introductory CAD, and engineering project management. This certificate is designed both for students needing a basic introduction to mechanical technology and for those who intend to pursue an Engineering Technology degree. Upon completion of this certificate, the graduate is qualified to pursue more advanced training or work as an entry level operator. This certificate is designed to dove-tail easily with other MET certificates and the MET degree. To assure maximum employability, the student should consider courses beyond the fundamentals in either a certificate or degree option. Certificate curricula are reviewed and updated periodically in response to community and industry demands. The student is cautioned to discuss certificate choices and course selections with an Engineering Technology Advisor before each registration cycle.

Surveying Fundamentals Certificate

The Surveying Fundamentals Certificate is a three-semester 20-credit hour program that offers a route to surveying licensure not only for students who are beginning their careers, but also for those who are looking to transfer to four-year programs and those who are already in the workforce and are looking to advance their careers.

The program’s unique curriculum will prepare students through surveying theory and practice, care and use of instruments, procedures and instrumentations, and computations and leveling. Students will also learn about field astronomy, highway curves, and topographic surveying. Surveying has evolved from what it once was, and now encompasses new technology such as drones, laser scanned projects, and satellites.

According to industry partners, there is a great demand for licensed surveyors and MTC is providing a clear pathway to meet the educational requirements. Certificate curricula are reviewed and updated periodically in response to community and industry demands. The student is cautioned to discuss certificate choices and course selections with an Engineering Technology Advisor before each registration cycle.

Engineering Fundamentals Degree (2+2 Transfer)

Students who wish to transfer to a four-year institution in engineering should enroll in the Engineering Fundamentals program. The Engineering Fundamentals degree allows the student to complete the first two years of an engineering course of study and then transfer to a four-year institution to earn a bachelor’s degree in engineering. Midlands Technical College offers this option in the areas of Electrical, Computer, Civil, Mechanical, and Chemical Engineering. Students who wish to transfer into the Computer Science or Computer Information Systems programs should enroll in the Engineering Science certificate and work with their advisor to create an Associate in General Technology (AGT).

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 all of the disciplines listed above. Students who complete an Associate in Applied Science in Engineering Fundamentals and have an overall GPA of 2.75 or higher may seek admission to transfer to the College of Engineering and Computing at the University of South Carolina as a junior.
