Multicultural & Cross Cultural

Greenville College's mission is to transform students for lives of character and service through Christ centered education in the liberating arts and sciences. It is with that goal in mind that we have begun to develop programs and services necessary to create a climate that values and celebrates multiculturalism. At the same time, we seek to support the ethnic student population and encourage them to utilize GC's resources in order to prepare them to succeed by furthering their life goals and thus enhance their overall growth and development.
