Distance Education

Distance education courses are offered in a nontraditional setting; therefore, they require a strong commitment by students who choose to take them. These are credit courses that are academically equivalent to traditional classes taught on campus. Distance education courses offered at NETC include teleclasses, hybrid (or blended) classes and online classes.

Transfer Opportunities

If you are undecided about your career plans, then NETC is a great place to start your education without draining your bank account. Because of a statewide articulation agreement, there are 86 courses that transfer among and between the public colleges and universities in South Carolina. Check out these helpful resources when making your decision to Start Here, Go There!

REACH Act

The REACH Act passed by the South Carolina General Assembly in 2021 requires that students graduating with a baccalaureate degree from a South Carolina public college complete at least three semester credit hours that include discussion of and reading in their entirety the following documents: the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation, five Federalist Papers, and at least one document that is foundational to the African American Freedom struggle. It is recommended that technical college students who intend to transfer to a South Carolina public college complete this requirement prior to transfer. HIS 201 and PSC 201 meet the requirements of the REACH Act.
