Awards

Below are specific awards (including occupational skills awards, certificates, and degrees) available at Tyler Junior College (TJC). Detailed information for any award, including its recommended course sequence, may be viewed by clicking on the award title.

Students are strongly encouraged to seek advisement for course planning from their academic advisor or faculty advisor. TJC recommends that all students who plan to transfer consult with their respective transfer institution about the transfer institutions’ degree requirements. The final responsibility for the selection, scheduling, and satisfactory completion of award requirements rests with students.

Allied health, honors, and select professional and technical students must contact their programs’ department chair or academic advisor for specific application information and deadlines. See the Special Admissions and/or Selective Admissions sections of this Catalog for more information.

General Education Courses

Every Associate of Applied Science degree plan must contain at least 15 semester credit hours of General Education courses. At least one course must be taken from each of the following areas: humanities/fine arts (language, philosophy and culture/creative arts), social/behavioral science (social and behavioral sciences/American history/government/political science), and natural science/mathematics (life and physical sciences/mathematics).

It is the responsibility of students to ensure the courses listed in their specific degree plans will transfer to their receiving institutions. Students are strongly encouraged to schedule an appointment with a TJC academic advisor.
