About hero

TJC IS A FIRST-CHOICE COLLEGE.

In a recent survey of current students, 75% said TJC was their first choice for college, and 94% said they would choose TJC again based on their experience so far.

TJC is one of the largest community colleges in Texas, with 306 full-time faculty members and 248 part-time faculty members, and 19,000+ students enrolled annually.

Since 1926, TJC has embodied the true sense of the term “community college,” as reflected in its foundational promises to provide students with a quality education, a vibrant student life, and opportunities for service to the community.

With more than 120+ degree and certificate programs, plus extensive training and technical programs, TJC is the best first step for any student, whether they plan to transfer to a four-year institution or gain the skills they need to go directly into the workforce.

When students step onto the 145-acre campus, they are immediately part of the TJC experience, which includes rigorous academics, 67 national championships in athletics; stellar fine and performing arts programs; modern residential facilities; and organizations and clubs that reflect student diversity.

Additionally, more than 2,100 high school students are simultaneously earning college credit each year through dual enrollment opportunities at TJC.
