- In 1964, the Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Technical Education Center was established as part of a statewide system founded by Gov. Ernest F. Hollings to meet the education and training needs of South Carolina. The center opened with two buildings and 226 students. In 1973, to accommodate its increasing growth, the center merged with Palmer College, a private business college in downtown Charleston. The combined Palmer College and B-C-D Technical Education Center became Trident Technical College.
- Each semester approximately 12,000 credit students enroll in programs leading to college transfer associate degrees and technical associate degrees, diplomas and certificates. The curriculum includes programs in Allied Health Sciences; Business Technology; Community, Family and Child Studies; Culinary Institute of Charleston; Film, Media and Visual Arts; Humanities and Social Sciences; Industrial and Engineering Technology; Law-Related Studies; Nursing; and Science and Mathematics. To foster student success, TTC provides developmental education and comprehensive student services.
