TJC offers a variety of degrees and certificates that will help you start a career, or learn new skills that can be applied in your existing job. Our Academic Advisors can help you identify which programs are right for you! Our Career Services office can also help you explore careers that are right for you by using career interest inventories.

Contact your High School or previous colleges that you have attended and request that they deliver an official transcript to Tyler Junior College.
