President’s Letter
Dearest Apaches,
Welcome to Tyler Junior College, home of the Black and Gold!
TJC is a world-class, premier and award-winning institution of higher learning where student and community success are
paramount, and where the core values of unity, caring, integrity, empowering and excellence serve as our guiding principles.
The College’s steadfast commitment to educational excellence, stellar service, innovative programming and authentic
partnerships can be attributed to a visionary Board of Trustees, an exceptionally strong and capable leadership team, a truly
knowledgeable and committed staff, and faculty who celebrate teaching and learning on a daily basis and are subject matter
experts, all surrounded by a very supportive community that is pro-education.
TJC proudly celebrates all students, who in addition to excelling academically, are engaged in giving back to our communities
through their leadership in student organizations, athletic programs and cultural and artistic events, while remaining focused on
promoting an institutional culture that embraces the aforementioned values of TJC.
The student body of the College is at the heart of everything we do, and we are glad you are here! We invite you to continue
to learn as much as you can about our beloved TJC through this Catalog, and to proactively connect and engage, so that you can
make the most of your time while in Apache Nation.
I am honored to serve you as President of Tyler Junior College and to have the privilege of witnessing a United TJC working to

Paralegal
Paralegal, Associate of Applied Science
Begin a professional career in the legal field by earning an
Associate of Applied Science in Paralegal Studies.
Students who successfully complete our paralegal
program are equipped with the skills necessary for an entry-
level paralegal position. Paralegals, sometimes called legal
assistants, work under the supervision of an attorney and
perform many tasks traditionally performed by attorneys. For
example, under the supervision of an attorney, paralegals may
interview clients and witnesses, conduct investigations,
perform legal research, organize and analyze data, assist in all
stages of the trial process, summarize depositions and
testimony, summarize interrogatories, prepare for and assist
at real estate closings and will executions, maintain corporate
and other entity records, and draft pleadings and other legal
documents.
Paralegals must work under the supervision of an
attorney. Paralegals are prohibited from engaging in the
practice of law and may not give legal advice, sign pleadings,
negotiate settlement agreements, accept cases, solicit legal
business on behalf of an attorney, set legal fees, represent
clients, appear in court on behalf of clients, or advertise or
contract with members of the general public for the
performance of legal services.
In addition to being employed by private law firms,
paralegals are frequently employed by corporations, banks,
real estate and title companies, governmental agencies,
insurance companies, estate planning and investment service
organizations, hospitals, public interest and legal aid
organizations, and of course, the offices of public defenders,
district attorneys, judges, and the courts.
Our paralegal classes are taught by licensed attorneys in
classes with small student-to-faculty ratios. All paralegal
classes have an online component, and many may be
completed exclusively online.
Upon graduation, paralegal students are encouraged to
seek voluntary certification with the National Association of
Legal Assistants (NALA) or the National Federation of
Paralegal Associations (NFPA).
An associate’s degree in paralegal studies is an excellent
stepping stone for a rewarding legal career.

Our Physical Therapist Assistant program is five
semesters long and includes three six-week clinical rotations
under the supervision of a physical therapist or physical
therapist assistant. Our faculty provides a combination of
individual attention, a friendly atmosphere and a small
student-to-faculty ratio.
Upon successful completion of the program, students are
eligible to take the National Physical Therapy Exam (NPTE)
given by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy
(FSBPT) to become a licensed physical therapist assistant. The
state of Texas requires a license to practice. Licensure involves
a separate application process and is based on successful
completion of the NPTE.

Surgical Technology
Surgical Technology, Associate of Applied Science
Surgical Technology is an exciting field where you work
as part of the surgical team under the supervision of a surgeon
to facilitate the safe and effective conduct of surgical
procedures. You will be responsible for preoperative,
intraoperative, and postoperative duties that include
preparing the operating room, creating and maintaining the
sterile field, counting the necessary instruments, exposing the
operative site with sterile drapes, specimen care, passing
instrumentation and supplies to the surgeon, dressing
application, and removal of used instruments from the O.R.
While most surgical technologists are employed in
hospital surgery departments, obstetric departments, and
ambulatory care centers, there are options for experienced
surgical technologists in specialized areas.
Our surgical technology program includes both theory
and practical clinical experience designed to prepare you to
pass the national certification examination for surgical
technologists and provide services in the surgical area under
the supervision of the surgical supervisor.
Students are required to take the National Exam given by
the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical
Assisting (NBSTSA) before or directly after graduation. Those
who pass this exam become Certified Surgical Technologists
(CST). Additionally, you can pursue a baccalaureate degree as
well.
Enrollment in the program is limited. See the Selective
