Charleston-area science and engineering professionals can take master’s courses at Trident Technical College. TTC’s Division of Continuing Education and Economic Development, in partnership with Lehigh University, offers courses in biology, chemistry, engineering and other disciplines. A new degree, Master of Engineering in Biological Chemical Engineering, will be offered this fall.

Courses are held on TTC’s Main Campus using real-time satellite broadcasts through the Lehigh Educational Satellite Network (LESN). The LESN broadcasts are live, high quality, digitally encrypted satellite broadcasts coupled with telephone callback, permitting real-time interaction between the instructor and students.

 “Unlike other master’s programs, to attain a Lehigh master’s degree, there are no requirements for student travel other than to the TTC campus,” says Bill Spaulding, TTC program leader for engineering and construction programs. “Programs combine academic quality and personal convenience.”

Programs include biological chemical engineering, chemical engineering, information and systems engineering, manufacturing systems engineering, mechanical engineering, quality engineering, polymer science and engineering, chemistry, and molecular biology.
