Horry-Georgetown Technical College is a comprehensive technical and community college comprised of three campuses, and an off-campus site in North Myrtle Beach.  The Grand Strand Campus, originating in 1989, was relocated on a 75-acre tract of the former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base in 1996.  The Grand Strand Campus provides accessible and affordable educational opportunities in career education and occupational preparation, university parallel studies, developmental education and community education and training. In addition, the Grand Strand Campus is the locus for the College’s services in Corporate Education and Training through the Grand Strand Conference Center, which serves to provide extensive offerings for occupational upgrading and economic growth both on-site and in corporate settings.

The Grand Strand Campus is committed to providing a learner-centered environment, with comprehensive educational and student support services, as well as community outreach and focus. The Campus, while serving all of Horry County through its convenient location and its specialized program areas, strives to develop special partnerships with the City of Myrtle Beach, Horry County, and other organizations along the Grand Strand.  The South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy Regional Training Site as well as an off-campus site of Charleston Southern University, a Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club, a courtroom, and law library are all housed on the Grand Strand Campus.  Additionally, the Grand Strand Campus serves as the Regional Training Site for the CISCO Networking programs; and campus facilities also include a hospitality suite, full-scale dining room and auditorium.

Specialized programs of study offered on the Grand Strand Campus include:  Criminal Justice; General Business; Hospitality and Tourism Management; Paralegal/Legal Assistant; Massage Therapy; Interior Design; Horticulture Technology, Human Services; Health Sciences; CISCO Networking; Fire Science; and University Parallel.  In the fall of 2004, new programs in Digital Arts, Emergency Medical Technician, Phlebotomy, and Pharmacy Technician are planned.  The College has obtained over 50,000 square feet of additional space through the acquisition of the former base hospital.  Renovation plans are currently being developed for the future design as an Allied Health Center.
