Designed for a select group of academically talented freshmen, the Bridge to Clemson program is a distinctive academic transfer program available by invitation only. Students must first apply for freshman admission to Clemson University (Clemson) to receive consideration for the program. Beginning with a strong first-year academic experience at Tri-County Technical College (Tri-County), the Bridge program includes targeted academic advising, student support services, and a student life component - all of which are designed to help students succeed in meeting Bridge academic requirements and transferring to Clemson. Advisors from both institutions assist students with selecting courses that transfer to Clemson. The successful collaboration between Tri-County and Clemson allows students to make progress in their intended Clemson major during their first year at Tri-County while preparing to enroll at Clemson beginning their second year. The Bridge program staff at both Tri-County and Clemson are committed to providing students with the educational tools and services they need to succeed.

Our Vision
The Bridge to Clemson program will be a national model of a collaborative transfer partnership that intentionally delivers high-quality programs and services designed to provide a transformative educational experience to students.

Our Mission
The Bridge to Clemson Program provides a pathway for successful transfer to Clemson University for all Bridge Program students.  Through the delivery of joint academic support and engagement programs and services, Bridge Program staff at Tri-County Technical College and Clemson University provide students with an integrated first-year experience that equips students with the tools and resources they need to meet their educational goals.
