Greenville Technical College
Public Community College in Greenville, SC. Six-year graduation rate 21%. Median 10-year earnings $39,473.
Students who entered Greenville Technical College reach a median of $39,473 a decade later, a figure that trails the typical four-year outcome. Only 21% finish within six years, so roughly four in five students leave without the credential they enrolled for. Median debt at graduation is $15,392, a light load against those earnings.

Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 21% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. 22% transfer out. IPEDS does not follow them, so whether they finished elsewhere is not recorded either way. A 16:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. 10,661 undergraduates puts this among the larger schools, which usually means more choice and less individual attention.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 8,171 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $9,015 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Net price varies modestly by income — $11,138 at $0–30k against $15,198 at $110k+ — so the average is a fair guide for most families. About 83% get grants averaging $5,538, so plan on the possibility of paying closer to full price. Federal borrowing is uncommon here at 12% of students.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $11,138 |
| $30–48k | $11,388 |
| $48–75k | $12,221 |
| $75–110k | $13,455 |
| $110k+ | $15,198 |
