Miller-Motte Technical College

Vocational colleges are growing in popularity, and they’re much more convenient for someone who would like to go straight into the workforce. Miller-Motte Technical College (MMTC), located in Conway, is a vocational school that I feel is often overlooked because of the popularity of Coastal Carolina University(CCU) and Horry-Georgetown Technical College(HGTC). 

Judge Leon Motte originally founded Miller-Motte in 1916 as a training school for courtroom stenographers to learn shorthand. Then in the late 1980s, Miller-Motte purchased Phillip’s Business College, so business programs were added to their curriculum. In the year 1998, Miller-Motte joined Delta Career Education Corporation. This school is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC). 

Carolina Forest High School alumni, Mariah Eckler, added, “Miller-Motte is an amazing school. They have so much to offer for various careers. You can go to big colleges like CCU or HGTC, and they can teach you the same thing, but Miller-Motte has classes with fewer students, so you can get one-on-one help from your instructor.”

Although Miller-Motte doesn’t offer as many courses as CCU or HGTC, they do offer a wide variety of programs. The list of courses changes, depending on which campus the students attend. However, there are also several online classes students can take. Programs offered at the Conway campus include Business Administration, Criminal Justice, Cosmetology, Massage Therapy, Medical Billin and Coding, Medical Clinical Assistant and Class A Contractor training. The online classes offered are Allied Health Management, Business Administration, Criminal Justice, Medical Billing and Coding and IT Support Specialist.  

Early graduate, Leah Woodard, commented, “I was interested in the school when I found out they had an awesome cosmetology program. After the campus tour, I knew that this was the school for me. I highly recommend this school to anyone who is interested!” 

Miller-Motte Technical College is a great school that works hard to prepare its students for the job market. I highly suggest upcoming and current seniors to look into this school.
