Spartanburg Community College
The Spartanburg County Technical Education Center first opened in the Fall of 1963. During its first decade, the school was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges (SACS) and in 1969 a second classroom building was constructed. In 1974, in recognition of the school’s expanding academic curriculum, the name was changed to Spartanburg Technical College. As the college continued to grow, satellite locations were opened to accommodate students in the three-county service area. In 2006, the college changed its name to Spartanburg Community College, becoming the first community college in South Carolina. Today the college operates a 104-acre central campus that is a recognized arboretum with eleven academic and physical plant facilities, three campuses in the towns of Duncan, Gaffney and Union and a downtown campus with one academic facility. Vision: To change the lives and build the futures of our students and to be a catalyst for economic development through innovation, collaboration and excellence in educational programs and services. Mission: Spartanburg Community College provides exceptional, accessible, learning centered education and workforce development programs and services.
