Overview
Tyler Junior College is a public college in Tyler, Texas, that has served East Texas since 1926.
It operates as an open admissions institution, so most programs can be entered by applying to the college and registering for classes, while a number of health and technical programs add their own selective application on top of general admission. Students can earn Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, Associate of Applied Science and Associate of Arts in Teaching degrees, along with certificates and continuing studies courses for job training.
The college also offers three bachelor's degree completion programs, in dental hygiene, healthcare administration and emergency management, for students who already hold an associate degree. Academic offerings are grouped into career pathways that include business, creative and communication arts, general studies, healthcare professions, manufacturing, transportation and industry, public service, and science and technology.
Many students use the college for their first two years before moving to a four-year school.
Transfer pathway agreements exist with the University of Texas at Tyler, Stephen F. Austin State University and Baylor University, and a University Transfer Center supports students planning the move.
Incoming students who are not exempt take the Texas Success Initiative Assessment so advisors can place them in suitable courses. Campus life includes residence halls, athletics, a band, theatre and other student activities.
