Growing the College | STUDENT SUCCESS
> Gamecock Gateway enrollment grew to 448 students. This is the largest enrollment in the history of the program and is a 187% increase since the program began in 2011. Student persistence from first to second semester remained at about 90 percent the third year, and the second class of Gamecock Gateway students graduated from USC with their baccalaureate degrees in May 2017.
> Midlands Technical College implemented the use of multiple measures to assess student readiness for collegiate coursework. High school transcripts and SAT/ACT test data were reviewed to determine placement-testing exemptions. This streamlines the student-entry process and places more students into college-level courses, thereby reducing student cost and expediting time to graduation.
> More than 1,600 prospective students and approximately 2,500 family members participated in a series of enrollment-related events on MTC campuses. These events were designed to connect prospective students and families with the wide array of academic career programs of study at MTC and to support enrollment actions.
Making Lives Better | STUDENT SUCCESS
> 134 Midlands Technical College students in the Nursing and Health Sciences career programs contributed to a 100% pass rate in seven program areas. Passing a certification exam is required for licensure or registry recognition in nearly all healthcare professions.
> In 2017, the MTC loan default rate was below the national average for two-year colleges and was the lowest in the S.C. Technical College System. MTC engages students in loan counseling and helps students calculate projected repayment costs for specific student career fields in order to develop more informed student consumers and keep student loan debt low.
> In Spring 2017, the MTC Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) International Honor Society was again recognized by Phi Theta Kappa International as having one of the top 100 PTK chapters in the nation. MTC's chapter received nine regional awards and continued its five-star chapter rating, which is the highest rating available for a PTK chapter. To be awarded the status of a Five Star Chapter, the MTC chapter achieved the highest rankings for leadership, service, and fellowship opportunities for students to grow as scholars and leaders.
