President's News: Safe Value, Close to Home.

WEB VIEW

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT: As MTC prepares to fully reopen this fall to students, I was recently asked what will success look like? My answer is simple. I want to be able to shake the hands of hundreds of our students in December as they triumphantly walk across the graduation stage. Their smiles full of pride and their accomplishment during this pandemic being one for the record books. More than ever, I want to hear the family and friends proudly cheer for the success of their loved one as I hand then their hard-earned certificates, diplomas, and degrees. The citizens and the business community of South Carolina depend on our college to prepare the workforce. At MTC, we take this responsibility very seriously. We have thoughtfully implemented safety protocols on all campuses, while offering more online learning options than ever before so that we can continue to provide the critical education needed to fulfill our mission. President Ronald L. Rhames, '78

VALUE, CLOSE TO HOME: The pandemic is shining a bright light on the true value of a Midlands Technical College education. Whether transferring to a four-year institution or are embarking on a rewarding new career path, attending MTC is a chance to pursue educational goals while saving money and having the peace of mind that staying close to home provides. For those who are leery of going off to college next month, MTC has on campus, virtual, hybrid, and online courses right here, close to home. For those who are uncertain in the job market, MTC provides real-world training for essential careers that are the backbone of our economy. The value MTC delivers is unparalleled. Do you know someone who should apply today?

MORE OPTIONS FOR LEARNING: MTC has more course delivery options than ever before. As part of the response to COVID-19, Academic and Corporate and Continuing Education courses for Fall of 2020 can be taken in four different ways. The goal is to accommodate the desires of every student wishing to start or continue their educational pursuits. Search the MTC course offerings to create a schedule that fits your comfort level. ON-CAMPUS Traditional. Classes meet on campus. VIRTUAL 100% online. Meets with live instructor on specific days, at specific times. Uses web conferencing software, like Zoom. HYBRID Some classes on campus. Some classes virtual. ONLINE 100% online. Due dates for projects and assignments. Work on your time, 24/7.

WHAT LEARNING LOOKS LIKE: With more learning happening from a computer screen, many are wondering what does that actually look like? At MTC, our faculty and staff have worked hard to make sure the learning experience is not compromised. Our instructors are using point of view glasses so students can get a first-hand view of labs, and our MTC Simulation Center demonstrates the concepts used in health care courses. This technology combined with smaller classes sizes and instructor access means our students get one-on-one attention focused on helping them succeed.
