TJC is a residential college. Our nine residence halls are small communities where students live, learn and get their first taste of life away from home.

Have some fun. Tyler is the largest city in East Texas, so there’s a lot to do on and off campus - 3D multi-screen theaters, great restaurants, the downtown square, South Broadway, cool night spots and endless outdoor activities.

† The Occupational Therapy Assistant Program has applied for accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), located at 4720 Montgomery Lane, Suite 200, Bethesda, MD 20814-3449. ACOTE’s telephone number c/o AOTA is (301) 652-AOTA and its Web address is www.acoteonline.org.

†† Graduation from a physical therapist assistant education program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), 1111 North Fairfax Street, Alexandria, VA 22314; phone; 703-706-3245; [email protected] is necessary for eligibility to sit for the licensure examination, which is required in all states. Tyler Junior College is seeking accreditation of a new physical therapist assistant education program from CAPTE. The program will submit an Application for Candidacy, which is the formal application required in the pre-accreditation stage. Submission of this document does not assure that the program will be granted Candidate for Accreditation status. Achievement of Candidate for Accreditation status is required prior to implementation of the technical phase of the program; therefore, no students may be enrolled in technical courses until Candidate for Accreditation status has been achieved. Further, though achievement of Candidate for Accreditation status signifies satisfactory progress toward accreditation, it does not assure that the program will be granted accreditation.


IN PERsoN: Tours of the main campus are conducted Mondays through Fridays, 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. [email protected]

commit to completeTyler Junior College is committed to assisting students in their efforts to achieve their educational goals. Two-thirds of all new jobs that produce livable wages require a credential beyond high school. Students who complete a certificate or degree are far more likely to be hired and far less likely to become unemployed. Furthermore, research indicates that upon transfer into a baccalaureate program, students who complete an associate degree are more likely to complete a bachelor’s degree than are students who transfer without completing a degree. Each year, TJC students are asked to commit or renew their commitment to completing a degree or certificate at Tyler Junior College. Likewise, faculty and staff commit themselves to assisting students however possible as they strive to keep that commitment.
