Bridge programs are intended for first-time college attendees who are recent high school graduates. You may participate in a bridge program in one of two ways: be invited to participate by the four-year college to which you applied but were denied admission or apply to York Tech as a transfer student and identify yourself as a potential candidate for one of our bridge programs.

Through the Bridge programs at York Tech, you'll work toward completing what amounts to a full freshman year of college-level coursework and training. Once you've completed the program, we'll guide you through the transfer process, helping you to achieve a seamless transition to the next four-year college or university. York Technical College has agreements with a range of in-state institutions that eagerly await your application. This includes programs leading to admission to the University of South Carolina and Winthrop University.

The award-winning transfer program with Winthrop University allows you to earn your Associate in Arts degree at York Tech before transferring to Winthrop University's College of Business Administration to earn your Bachelor of Science in Business Administration. Once you've transferred, you'll choose a concentration in areas such as Accounting, Economics, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, or something else—and upon graduating, you'll have the credentials to pursue a career in the growing world of business!

This program offers guaranteed admission, so you can rest assured that you'll be on track to earn the degree you want, while still saving time and money in the process. You'll have the opportunity to receive additional aid through the Winthrop Bridge Scholarship if you qualify.
