Programs
Dual Enrollment
Dual enrollment is when a student is enrolled in a high school and college at the same time. DE students take courses that count for college credit. Midlands Technical College offers dual enrollment as an option to high school students who live in Fairfield, Lexington, and Richland counties. These courses may be taken on high school campuses, one of the MTC campuses, online or virtually.
If a student takes at least six credit hours from MTC per semester, students may attend DE@MTC for free thanks to the South Carolina Lottery Tuition Assistance Program and South Carolina Workforce & Industry Needs Scholarship. There may be forms that students need to submit in order for courses to be tuition free, such as the Lottery https://studentscholarships.org/Tuition Assistance waiver. Check with our dual enrollment counselors to learn more.
