为什么在这里学习?

The Technical College of the Lowcountry is a public, 两年, multi-campus technical college that provides quality education and promotes economic development in Beaufort, 碧玉, Colleton, 汉普顿县.

As an 国际学生 with us, you have a variety of options available to you-including several Associates programs. These programs can prepare you to attend a four year institution, as they parallel the first two years of other university programs. You can complete the first two years at TCL and then transfer to a four-year institution to complete requirements for a bachelor’s degree.

Almost all international students are subject to out-of-state tuition and fees. One of the greatest benefits of starting your education with us is that it will save you a large amount in tuition costs. 学费 and fees at TCL are on average much lower than you would find at four-year institutions. This will make your education in the United States more affordable.
